Multi-Dimensional Devas - 48 oracle cards built on eleven dimensions of consciousness
Most oracle cards work with archetypes or symbols you already half-recognise. This one builds its own system from scratch. Cilla Conway structured the Multi-Dimensional Devas around the idea that the universe consists of eleven layers of consciousness, each with its own creative energy.
Published in 2021, the cards function as a companion to her earlier work, The Devas of Creation. Where that set describes the architecture of the universe, this one asks a different question: from what level of consciousness do we create?
What you see on the cards
The cards reproduce original oil paintings. Brushstrokes and paint texture are visible, giving each image a physical, organic quality. The compositions are abstract and borderless, so nothing cuts off the image at the edge.
No titles appear on the cards, only subtle numbers in the corner. Conway made this deliberate: she wants you to respond to the image before consulting the guidebook. Colours range from luminous and intensely bright to deep and dark on the shadow cards.
Beyond the dimension cards, the set includes cards on abstract themes such as Silence, Manifestation, and Trust. Several cards address human shadow qualities including greed and remorse. Others reference collective challenges, among them The Last Fish and The Last Tree. The set closes with a group of cards on renewal and transition.
How you work with it
Reviewers consistently describe these cards as not suited for quick yes-or-no questions. The most common use is as a meditation focus for the day: draw one card, read the guidebook entry, then let it sit.
The 129-page guidebook covers each dimension and each card individually. Conway explains the energetic meaning she assigned to every card. Spreads are also included.
The cards measure 88 x 126 mm, which is on the larger side. People with smaller hands report that shuffling can feel awkward. For studying the paintings and for meditation, the size works well.
Draw a card without looking up its title. Spend five minutes with the image and write down what you see, feel, or think. Then open the guidebook. The gap between those two moments is exactly what this deck is designed to create.

Questions we often get
Do I need to know The Devas of Creation to use this deck?
No. The Multi-Dimensional Devas stands on its own and the guidebook explains the system fully. Owning the first set adds context, but it is not required.
Are there titles or keywords on the cards themselves?
No, only subtle numbers. Conway chose to print no text on the cards so that your first response is visual. All meanings are in the guidebook.
