About this deck
The Crystal Oracle is an ode to the ancient power of stones and crystals.

Each card represents a treasure, a tool, or an archetype linked to stone—and reveals what lies beneath the surface.
Background and visual language
Artist Bethany van Rijswijk created original collages from antique illustrations, paired with poetic texts by Ellen Freeman.

The result is both mystical and grounded—like peering through a magnifying glass into the soul of the planet.
