Seasons of the Witch: Yule Oracle - 44 oracle cards for the midwinter season
Yule falls at the darkest point of the year, the winter solstice, and carries its own rhythm: turning inward, stillness, and the awareness that light returns. This oracle is built on that moment. Not as seasonal decoration, but as a reflection on what the dark months ask of us.
The 44 cards were written by Juliet Diaz and Lorriane Anderson, two authors working from distinct personal backgrounds. Diaz comes from a long line of curanderos and brujas, and is a bohuiti, a healer, of the Higuayagua community. Anderson works as a tarot reader, astrologer, and spiritual teacher, focusing on intentional living and healing practices. Together they bring a card set grounded in healing traditions, not in seasonal aesthetics alone.
What this oracle offers
Each of the 44 cards carries a healing message aligned with the energy of Yule: reflection, gratitude, the capacity to endure difficult periods, and the support found in those close to you. The guidebook runs to 144 pages and covers the meaning of every card in full. The cards themselves feature gilded edges.
This is an oracle, not a tarot. There is no major or minor arcana structure. You draw a card, read the message, and connect it to your own situation. The guidebook supports that process card by card.
What the Yule context adds
The deck is deliberately seasonal. The cards work with themes that belong to winter: seeking warmth, pausing to recognise what you have, and sitting with the dark in the knowledge that change is coming. That makes it particularly suited to the weeks around the winter solstice, but also to other periods of turning inward and taking stock.
Draw one card each day and read the accompanying text in the guidebook. The oracle is built around focused, concise messages rather than extended meditations. That makes it a workable daily anchor practice through a busy December.

Questions we often get
Is this oracle only usable during winter?
The cards are built around Yule themes, but the messages themselves deal with reflection, endurance, gratitude, and community. Those themes are not limited to December. Many people use it year-round, particularly during quieter or more difficult stretches.
Does this set belong to a larger series?
Yes. The Seasons of the Witch series covers multiple seasonal moments. Lorriane Anderson also published the Samhain Oracle in the same series. Each set stands on its own and works independently.
