Description
A70-card decl & guidebook
Unearth the wisdom of the witchiest women in literary history and let their brilliance illuminate your path. Drawn from the book Literary Witches: A Celebration of Magical Women Writers, the cards in this oracle deck bear portraits of powerful female authors and mystical spell ingredients, both full of symbolism meant to nourish the witch that lives within you.
This deck is gorgeous. The illustrations are beautiful and the quality of the cards is excellent, with a lovely texture to the cards and a solid presentation box.
I love the imagery and symbolism for each writer and each ‘object’. The representation is quite diverse, which is wonderful to see, and might introduce some people to lesser known literary figures.
One aspect that some people might find to be a drawback is that the guidebook is extremely minimal, with some basic biographical details for the people and a couple of keywords associated with the other cards.
Personally, I love how that leaves it mostly open to my own interpretation and encourages my own exploration and research, but especially if you are not as familiar with a certain figure or symbol, you might find the guidebook and provided interpretations very limited.
Otherwise, this is a great deck, especially for those with a literary interest.
