Cat Pierce, known as a musician and painter, created this 44-card deck with hand-painted illustrations. The cards are divided into four categories: messages, animals, plants, and so-called Visio Divina cards – cards that ask you to meet the gaze of the artwork directly. It is her second major project after The Wandering Star Tarot.
An oracle that leans heavily on visual contemplation – those drawn to hand-painted art will get more from this than those who primarily work with keywords.

Most oracle cards tell you what something means. The Omen Oracle asks the question differently: what do you see, when you look closely? Cat Pierce built her deck around the idea that omens are everywhere, but only become readable when you pay deliberate attention.
Pierce painted all the illustrations by hand, just as she did for the album artwork of Thirteen Tales of Love & Revenge, the cult record by her band The Pierces. This is her second major project in tarot and oracle cards, following The Wandering Star Tarot. The cards are in English and will be published by Hay House on 18 August 2026.
The deck contains 44 cards divided into four types. The Messages cards offer short prompts to stay open to signs in everyday life. The Animals cards work with animal energy as a mirror for instinctive forces within yourself. The Plants cards connect clarity to the natural world and its rhythms. The fourth category is called Visio Divina, named after the contemplative practice of 'divine seeing': you meet the gaze of the artwork and allow yourself to be touched by what you see, without interpretation.
That last category is unusual. Most oracle decks are built on explanation and keywords. Pierce deliberately includes cards that work purely through visual contemplation. This makes the deck less useful as a quick reference tool, but more interesting for anyone willing to sit with an image.
This is not a starter deck for those who need fixed meanings to hold onto. The four-category structure does offer some orientation, but the deck requires a willingness to stay with painted imagery. Those who already work with a tarot deck and are looking for an oracle that emphasises intuition over system will find more to work with here. The guidebook runs to 72 pages for 44 cards, which is a substantial volume - there is room for context and explanation.
The Visio Divina cards ask for no interpretation. You look at the image, and the image looks back - that is the entire working principle of that category.
Cat Pierce is a singer-songwriter, painter, and one of the two sisters behind The Pierces. The band achieved two top ten albums in England, one of which went gold. Her best-known compositional work is the theme song for the American series Pretty Little Liars. She has toured with Coldplay and performed alongside Emmylou Harris and Elton John. She painted the artwork for Thirteen Tales of Love & Revenge herself. The Wandering Star Tarot was her first step into illustration as a standalone project; The Omen Oracle is the second.
Is this deck suitable for someone who has never worked with oracle cards before?
The four categories provide structure, and the 72-page guidebook offers context. At the same time, the deck - particularly the Visio Divina cards - asks for an openness to working with images rather than fixed meanings. Complete beginners can use it, but will likely rely heavily on the guidebook.
How does this differ from The Wandering Star Tarot by the same creator?
The Wandering Star Tarot follows the classical tarot structure of 78 cards. The Omen Oracle is a more loosely structured 44-card oracle with no major or minor arcana. The emphasis here is on intuition and visual contemplation rather than a fixed symbolic system.
