53 cards that bring together Celtic mythology, feminine archetypes and connection to the land. Sharon Blackie combines story and psychology, Hannah Willow draws landscapes and beings that act as guides.
An oracle for those who use nature and mythic stories to find direction.
This oracle is built on stories. Not the stories that tell you how things should be, but the stories that show how things work. Sharon Blackie draws her archetypes from Celtic tales and places them alongside contemporary experiences of women navigating home and wild, structure and surrender.
The Rooted Woman Oracle consists of 53 cards, each drawn by artist Hannah Willow. The imagery is dark and earthy. Landscapes dominate, often with a single figure or animal as the focal point. Colours are muted: green, brown, grey, occasionally a flame of ochre or red.
Blackie works with three layers: mythology, psychology and landscape. The cards have no numbers or hierarchy, but group themselves around themes such as 'the motherline', 'the wild self' and 'seasonal cycles'.
The 160-page guidebook describes each card with a story fragment, a psychological reading and an exercise. The exercises are concrete: write a letter to your older self, walk a certain route in nature, place something symbolic on your altar.
The deck asks you to pause and consider your roots. Literally and figuratively. What is your landscape, who are your ancestors, which stories have you inherited and which do you want to pass on.
This is not a deck for quick answers. Blackie suggests pulling one card and carrying it with you for a day, sometimes a week. The illustrations contain enough detail to reveal something new each time. A branch that becomes a hand, a stone that has a face.
The cards work well for shadow work and seasonal rituals. The book contains no fixed spreads, but it does offer suggestions per theme. Many users pull a card at new moon or during a transition in their lives.
Look at a card for at least five minutes before you read the text. Let the drawing itself tell you what is at play.
Sharon Blackie is a psychologist and writer with a focus on ecopsychology and feminine initiation. She wrote If Women Rose Rooted, a book about women, land and story that received international recognition. Her work centres on restoring the bond between human and earth through myth and ritual.
Hannah Willow draws and paints landscapes where the mystical and the everyday meet. Her style is layered and textured, with an eye for natural patterns and symbolism that is not imposed but seems to grow from the image itself.
How does this oracle differ from a classic tarot deck?
This oracle does not follow a fixed structure like the major and minor arcana. The cards are grouped around themes and archetypes from Celtic stories, without hierarchy or numbered sequence.
Do I need knowledge of Celtic mythology to work with this deck?
No. The guidebook retells each story and explains how it relates to contemporary experiences. Prior knowledge helps, but it is not required.
