Woodland Wardens

Design and Artwork

The "Woodland Wardens Oracle Deck & Guidebook" by Jessica Roux is a beautifully crafted 52-card oracle deck, inspired by woodland flora and fauna. Each card features a unique animal-plant pairing, such as the hare and the oak or the finch and the peach, depicted in Jessica's historically evocative style. The design of the card backs, important for reading reversals, is cleverly done to not reveal the orientation of the cards.

Symbolism and Themes

Drawing on mythology, folklore, and literature, this deck transcends traditional oracle decks by incorporating the depth of tarot-like symbolism and reversals. Each pairing carries its own message, inviting reflection and offering guidance. The deck’s inclusion of reversals adds a layer of complexity and depth, appealing to those who value this aspect in card readings.
