The Enchanted Heart - heart-shaped oracle cards for comfort and self-love
Not every deck has a standard format. This one consists of 44 heart-shaped cards, each printed with a dreamlike scene and an affirmation. The shape is not a gimmick. It makes working with the cards physically different: they sit differently in your hand, you shuffle them differently, and the physical reminder of compassion is built into the shape itself.
Alana Fairchild wrote the texts, Lindy Longhurst drew the images. Together they created an oracle focused on the inner child, on hope, and on the healing power of self-love. The cards are printed by Blue Angel Publishing, with a glossy finish that brings out the soft colours.
What you see on the cards
The imagery is dreamlike and colourful. Many cards show figures in landscapes with flowers, animals, cosmic elements. The style is accessible, almost fairytale-like, with no sharp edges. Each image has a corresponding affirmation printed directly on the card.
The heart shape reinforces the focus on compassion. Where rectangular cards feel neutral, this shape evokes something before you even read the meaning. It is a deliberate choice that matches the intention of the deck: working from the heart.
How you work with it
The accompanying guidebook runs to eight pages. No elaborate spreads, but context for the affirmations and a brief explanation of what the deck is intended for. The cards themselves are meant to be drawn daily, as encouragement or as a reminder.
Many people use this deck not for deep questioning, but for comfort. Pull a card when you feel stuck, place it in front of you, let the affirmation settle in for a while. That suits the tone of the texts: gentle, encouraging, focused on healing rather than analysis.
Place a card on your desk or bedside table and leave it there for a few days. The heart shape naturally draws your eye, even when you are not actively working with the deck.

Questions we often get
What makes the heart shape practically different?
You shuffle the cards differently than a rectangular deck. They do not stack like regular cards, so it is best to store them flat in the box. Some people actually find this helpful: it forces you to handle the deck more consciously.
Are the affirmations suitable for people with no experience of oracle cards?
Yes. The texts are direct and clear. You do not need prior knowledge to understand the message. Pull a card, read the affirmation, and you immediately know what it is about.
