Review
Vintage Wisdom Oracle
by Victoria Moseley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n If you are drawn to the\nVictorian Era, or to the energy of similar past eras, The Vintage\nWisdom Oracle, will call to you. It is a 52 card deck inspired by\nfeminine energies and guidance. This deck is not strictly Pagan\nbased, it leaves its classification very open, in my opinion, so that\npeople from many different faiths feel comfortable using it. For\nexample, it uses words like \u201cmaiden, Higher Power, Goddess,\u201d and\nalso refers to the elements, intuition, and messages from Spirit.\nHowever, the author also references \u201cAdam and Eve, the Kingdom of\nGod\u201d, and does have a card \u201cThe Guardian Angel.\u201d If the\ndifferent religious references bother you, than this is not the deck\nfor you. If they do not, and you are able to take those references\nand turn them into a guide for your own beliefs, then you will be\nsatisfied with the deck at the very least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tThe\nportraits on the cards are beautiful goddesses, maidens, and strong\nwomen. Physically they are beautiful and the artistic quality gives\nyou the feel of holding a recently painted portrait. They are not\nbright and flashy, they have a calm, quiet focus on their individual\ndetail. They have a vintage look about them in the artwork itself, as\nwell as the font the cards are written in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tFor\nme, the cards are a bit awkward to hold due to the size of them. I\nhave average size hands and it can be a struggle for me to shuffle\nthem without dropping any, as they are too big for my hands. The\ncardstock that is used however, has a very nice, soft, smooth almost\ncomforting feel to them- I enjoy holding them, and I like the feel of\nthem. This is one of the main reasons I continue to work with this\ndeck, even though I struggle with the size physically. I am drawn to\ntheir energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tThe\nThe Vintage Wisdom Oracle deck is accompanied by a 79-page\ninstruction or guide book. It is much smaller than the cards, and\neasy to carry with you, if you so chose to continue your education on\nthe basic meanings of the cards. The book also holds the vintage,\nartistic quality of the cards, with the way it is written and the\nfonts used. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tI\nreally like the way the author explains each card and offers\ndifferent interpretations and doesn\u2019t hold the reader to a black\nand white definition. For example, when pulling the Strength card,\nthe author does reiterate the meaning of physical strength in a\nreading, \u201cGreat emphasis is often placed on physical strength\nbecause it is tangible and easy to measure, whether in the form of\nprowess, status, or worldly power.\u201d However, further into it, she\nalso opens up the possibility that this card could represent internal\nstrength, or lack there of it. She also incorporates the possibility\nof where you are on your spiritual path in this card, \u201cThe quality\nof strength you have directly depends on whether you are aligned to\nthe ego or the Higher Power.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAs a reader myself, it is very\nimportant to me that I do not feel locked into a definition or an\ninterpretation of a card. Some decks feel more black and white, or\ncut and dry and in my opinion, that cripples a reader who truly uses\ntheir intuition to provide messages for the person they are reading\nfor. I feel that this deck does give you the freedom to concentrate\non the situation, the person, and your intuition and provides you\nwith the guidance to give an appropriate answer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIf you are open on your\nspiritual path and enjoy the Vintage, Victorian Era, and have an\nappreciation for classic art, in my opinion, this is a great deck for\nyou to work with. If you are looking for a Pagan based deck then this\nis not the deck for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
