The Goddess Temple Oracle Cards

Goddess Temple Oracle Cards - 45 cards along the Celtic wheel of life

Not every goddess deck goes back to one cultural source. This one does. The Goddess Temple Oracle Cards by Sarah Perini are built on Celtic, Welsh and Cornish traditions, and follow the wheel of life as understood in those cultures: as a cycle of seasons, growth, rest and rebirth.

Elena Albanese drew the cards. Her style combines soft colours with clear lines. Each of the 45 cards shows a different side of the goddess, not as a person but as an archetype.

What you see on the cards

The imagery is symbolic but not abstract. You see figures, landscapes, plants and seasonal elements. The colours are soft: lots of green, blue and earth tones, with touches of gold here and there.

The cards are 88 x 125 mm, have a smooth finish and shuffle easily. The cardstock is sturdy enough for daily use. The guidebook is multilingual and describes the meaning of each card and its place within the wheel of life.

How this deck is structured

The deck follows the Celtic wheel of life, which divides the year and life itself into phases. Each card belongs to a specific moment in that cycle. That makes the deck not just usable as an oracle, but also as a reflection tool for processes of change.

The focus lies on feminine archetypes. That does not mean the deck is only for women, but it does mean the symbolism revolves around themes such as intuition, cyclic energy, healing and inner strength.

Draw one card each morning and let the imagery work on you throughout the day. The cards are meant to work slowly, not to give immediate answers.
