The Mushroom Oracle – A Magical Journey Through the Fungal World
About this deck
Step into the mysterious world of mushrooms with
The Mushroom Oracle, an enchanting deck that reveals the hidden wisdom of the forest. With 44 unique cards and a beautifully designed guidebook, this deck invites you to introspection, wonder, and a deeper connection with the natural world.
Background and visual language
This deck is rooted in mycelial thinking—the idea that everything is connected. The cards are divided into four subtle “suits”: mushrooms, forest beings, fungal structures, and the forest itself. Each card is a collage made from vintage botanical illustrations, artfully composed by artist Bethany van Rijswijk. The result is a poetic blend of layers, colors, and symbolism that invites intuitive interpretation.
Practical experience
People often turn to this deck during times of transition—changing seasons, new life phases, or crossroads. The cards offer gentle guidance, unexpected insight, and a deep sense of natural rhythm. Some leave the deck out as a piece of art, while others combine it with tarot for added depth in their readings.
