I’m really more a fall-and-winter person than a summer person but that doesn’t really matter – this deck takes me back to my youth – when I was a summer person – when I went camping on the beach – living day and night in a bright red string bikini and a white lace throw-over – partying with a giant group of friends – going from sunrise to sunset – dancing around the bonfires we used to make – oh! what a great time it was!

This is another deck with lovely artwork. The artist, Selena Moon, is also the creator of the Shadow and Light Oracle and the Sacred Light Oracle, as well as journals that correspond to these decks. They must be very popular, because they’re currently out of stock. Her website can be found here ~~~~> https://selenamoon.co/

I love the sun-kissed look of these cards. Even on a cold winter day, these cards make you feel like it’s the middle of summer and the sun is so bright it’s not easy to see because of the solar brilliance.

Even the inside of the box the cards came in is beautiful!

In the little book that comes with the deck, it is explained that you can use this deck
“for any kind of spread both complicated and simple” (Moon, 6). But there are four spreads in the book that were created for the Midsummer Oracle – the Wreath Spread, Seven Flowers Spread, Maypole Spread and the Midnight Sun Spread. I especially liked the Wreath Spread – a simple five-card spread that always seemed to tell me what I needed to know.

Incidentally, the back of the cards show a floral wreath.
