The deck most people keep in a drawer is a book of unbound pages, and this is its library — fifty-two cards read by Ana Cortez, painted by C.J. Freeman.
In the Playing Card Oracles, the four suits symbolize the great cycling of forms we live inside — the seasons, the phases of a life, the forces of mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Each suit has its own personality and its own Element, and the contrasts between them are vital: they energize one another while tempering each other's extremes, bringing balance and wholeness to a spread.
The correspondences given here belong to this system — the Elements, directions, and seasons below are as the Oracles keep them.
Every card carries a name, an image, and a voice of its own. Choose one to open its page — what it means in the Oracles, how to read it when it falls in your spread, and how cartomancy reads the same card.
