My absolute favourite oracle! I use this with the Spacious Tarot quite often, as they have imagery and energy that mirrors and complements one another.
This oracle has a beautiful approach to interpretation, with the ‘Dawn’ guidebook providing insight on new beginnings and moving forward, and the ‘Dusk’ guidebook delving into healing and alternative perspectives on situations. The descriptions are comprehensive enough that you can easily work with unfamiliar plants or imagery without feeling lost, but open enough that you can bring your own feelings and interpretations to it too.
I find the use of plants and animals in it very easy-going and gentle, but there is a strong undercurrent of energy too.
The box and presentation are of excellent quality, but the illustrations are simply breathtaking and would work as beautiful wallpapers or patterns!
A stunning deck and one of the best value oracles for what it brings.
Prachtig deck! Mooie vormgeving en afgestemd kleurgebruik.
De manier waarop je de kaarten tevoorschijn haalt uit het doosje zorgt bij mij juist voor een beleving van ritueel en is dus erg welkom. Heel blij met dit cadeautje voor mezelf!
Het mooiste deck dat ik heb, bij uitstek. Prachtige kunst, grappig magneet doosje en interessant concept met de aparte dawn en duskboekjes.
Prachtig op planten gebaseerd orakel met maar liefst 54 kaarten. Je hebt twee handboekjes (dawn en dusk) met uitleg over dezelfde kaart, naargelang je vraag kies je welk boekje je gebruikt. Mooie boekjes in kleur. Iets te weinig uitleg over de plant naar mijn mening, maar mooie en heldere boodschap. Nadeel is dat je per kaart het boekje moet openslaan, er staat geen sleutelwoord op de kaart, maar zo krijg je natuurlijk telkens de mooie boodschap! Het doosje is een beetje vreemd vormgegeven (doosje in doosje) maar dat went.
Heel mooi plant-gebaseerd deck, maar niet tuttig. Erg leuk dat er twee boekjes bij zitten
