Unlocking the Secret Garden Oracle - the garden as symbol for inner work
The garden is an old image for the inner life. You sow, wait, tend, prune, and sometimes something grows that you did not plan. This oracle uses that metaphor consistently: 44 cards full of plants, animals, gates and overgrown corners that make you think about growth, cycle and hidden strength.
Angi Sullins wrote the texts, Jena DellaGrottaglia created the illustrations. The theme focuses on the divine feminine and the natural wisdom you find when you stop forcing. The cards have gilded edges and come in a box with magnetic closure.
What you see on the cards
DellaGrottaglia works digitally and loves colour. Her style is realistic with a dreamlike edge: you see recognisable flowers and animals, but the compositions are theatrical and symbolically loaded. Each image has multiple layers. A key hanging in a flower, a door between two trees, a bird holding something.
The 108-page guidebook gives a description and interpretation for each card. No fixed meanings, more starting points for reflection. It also includes several spreads focused on personal transformation.
Who this deck is designed for
This deck is aimed at people who already know how an oracle works, but beginners can also use it. The guidebook is clear and the images speak for themselves. The theme of the divine feminine is explicitly present, not as dogma but as perspective.
The cards are 76 x 127 mm, which makes shuffling comfortable. The cardstock is sturdy enough for daily use.
Draw a card and look only at the image first. Find one detail that catches your attention, a colour or an object, and hold it for the rest of the day. Read the text only in the evening.
