My Review

This deck is glossy, which makes the cards slide easily when shuffling, but I did find it slightly unruly when shuffling in term of the size of the cards (3×5 inches). I’ve been reading with various decks from Black & The Moon, which are all 2.75 x 4.75 inches.

Other than being slightly longer, though, they are easy to shuffle (maybe I just have small hands!).

The rigid box is matte and so pretty! I love the interior illustrations!

One matches the backs of the cards, and the other is the same image on the Belladonna card included in the deck.

Featured in the 50-card deck are various magical tools, plants & herbs, and witchy aesthetics to inspire you in your magickal workings.

There are 3 main guides, including the Green Witch, the Hedge Witch and the Kitchen Witch, as well as the Lady of the Woods and the Lady of the Herbs.

With such gorgeous illustrations, it’s hard to pick as favorite card. I really love the ones that feel as though you’ve stepped directly into the lives of the resident witches, taking a peek into their study, their ritual spaces, and their private exploration of the magical world around them.

I highly recommend this deck to those with a love of the dark and Gothic, to kitchen and hedge witches, and to those who love a deck with a dark fantasy vibe.

What do you think?

What are your thoughts on The Secret Oracle of the Green Witch? Don’t you just love the illustrations? I can’t wait to explore more of this deck!

I swear, I see a new deck I want every day. But I can’t really complain. One of the things I love the most about oracle decks is how open to interpretation they are. Though Tarot decks generally stick to the usual archetypes found in the original 78 cards, the oracle deck is an entirely different thing.

Each deck is literally a reflection of its creator. Take a look at 100 decks and you’ll get 100 different interpretations.

Case in point – the newest deck added to my wishlist – the Plant Magic Oracle from Sweet Honey.

Don’t you just love those botanical illustrations? The magical properties are a cool touch. I definitely need to save up some mad money for this one!

I’m still getting the hang of making videos, so other than a bit of a blip at the beginning, you should get a good overview of all the cards in this mini deck. I really love the linocut illustrations!
