Amelia Buchanan spent thirteen years building this oracle, starting as a postgraduate project at the Royal College of Art and continuing alongside her career at Alexander McQueen. The 44 cards are built around feminine archetypes and myths, rendered in deep reds, golds and midnight blues. This first edition is limited to 500 copies, each including a burgundy cloth pouch with a hand-printed gold symbol and spiral charm.
The personal thank-you card from the maker makes this first edition something collectors will want to keep intact.

Thirteen years separate the first sketchbook and this oracle. Amelia Buchanan began the work during her master's at the Royal College of Art, deepened it alongside a career at Alexander McQueen, and finished it in the evenings after her children were asleep. That history shows in the cards.
The deck is released as a first edition of 500 copies, published under her name Daughter of Danu. The 44 cards depict feminine archetypes, goddesses and mythic figures, including Persephone, moon goddesses, Grail keepers and the Rose Mothers, built in deep tones of red, gold, earth and midnight blue.
Buchanan combined traditional painting techniques and handwork with digital drawing on a tablet and collage methods. The images are layered and richly coloured, with a visual quality that clearly draws on years of research into goddess traditions and sacred feminine symbolism.
The cards are not built around fixed answers. Each image is designed to prompt reflection, and the 56-page guidebook works through the mythology and symbolism card by card. The texts are grounded in Buchanan's own thirteen years of research into feminine mysteries.
The deck comes in a sturdy presentation box with gold foil print. Included is a burgundy cloth pouch with a hand-printed gold symbol and spiral charm. Buchanan also added a personal thank-you card to this first edition.
The Rose Mothers, the Mermaids and the Maryams each anchor their own card. If you already know these traditions, the symbolism will read immediately. If you do not, the guidebook gives you the context to find your way in.
Amelia Buchanan studied classical art in Florence and completed her master's at the Royal College of Art in London. She then spent more than seven years making couture fashion and runway pieces at Alexander McQueen. She is based in Oxford.
Alongside her fashion career she kept returning to what would eventually become the Womb Chalice Oracle. Personal experiences including loss, miscarriage, home birth and motherhood form part of the content foundation of the deck. She publishes her work under the name Daughter of Danu.
Do you need prior knowledge of goddess traditions to use this deck?
The 56-page guidebook covers the mythology and symbolism for each card, so no prior knowledge is required. The texts draw on thirteen years of the maker's research and provide enough context to understand the imagery.
What language are the cards and guidebook in?
Both the cards and the guidebook are entirely in English. No other language version is available.

Faunabelle Tarot is the first tarot deck built specifically for children, though its warm imagery and accessible meanings also work well for adults who want a gentler approach to reading. The 22 Major Arcana are illustrated as animal ambassadors, while the Minor Arcana follows a dog, a goldfish, a cockatiel and a tortoise through stories of joy, love, mindfulness and values. Nicola Allan and Juanita Benedicto created this deck together in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
The guidebook covers both upright and reversed meanings in language that children from age 3 and beginners can follow without difficulty.
