Wisdom of the Inner Child Oracle - 44 hand-painted cards about the inner child
Most oracle decks about the inner child start from the assumption that something needs fixing. This one starts somewhere else: with recognition. Not with what is missing, but with what is already there, waiting to be seen.
Jessica Ricchetti and Jenny Hahn brought 35 years of combined experience in transformation, shadow work and personal growth to this deck. Hahn painted the images by hand over a period of 25 years. Many of those paintings were never intended for an audience: they grew out of her own inner process. From hundreds of works, they chose 44 that felt essential.
What you see on the cards
The 44 cards are printed on 350 gsm card stock with a matte finish and copper-toned gilded edges. The format is 89 x 127 mm, comfortable to hold and shuffle. The packaging is a magnetic clamshell box that opens like a book, with a ribbon pull.
The images are hand-painted, and that warmth reads clearly. These are not illustrations made to fit a concept. The personal origin of the paintings is present in the work itself.
What the guidebook offers
The 136-page guidebook goes further than most oracle companions. Each card comes with affirmations, quotations, contemplation questions for journalling, intuitive guidance, and a practical ritual. That is a substantial amount of working material per card.
The tone is gentle but grounded. The deck does not push you toward painful memories, though it makes room for that if you choose. The focus is on recognition: giving space to what is already present. Everything points toward what the creators call inner-belonging, the feeling of being at home within yourself.
Draw a card and read only the contemplation question. Write for ten minutes without stopping. The guidebook gives you enough to work with for every card.

Questions we often get
Does the guidebook include card spreads?
The guidebook focuses on working material for each individual card: contemplation questions, rituals, and intuitive guidance. No structured spreads are described. How you lay the cards out is your own choice.
Is this suitable if you have never worked with oracle cards before?
The guidebook works through every card in full and assumes no prior knowledge of tarot or oracle systems. The tone is accessible, and the per-card structure gives enough to work with independently.
