Oracle of the Divine: A Deck and Guidebook Inspired by Mythology and Legends from Around the World
Oracle of the Divine: A Deck and Guidebook Inspired by Mythology and Legends from Around the World by Yoshi Yoshitani is a richly illustrated 60-card oracle deck that brings together myths, legends, folktales, deities, heroes, creatures, and symbolic stories from cultures across the world. Created by the artist and author behind Tarot of the Divine and Beneath the Moon, the deck uses traditional narratives as a framework for divination, reflection, and understanding the patterns that repeatedly appear within human experience.
Mythology has long provided a language through which people have considered love, ambition, loss, courage, temptation, transformation, duty, fate, and the unknown. Rather than drawing from a single pantheon or spiritual tradition, Oracle of the Divine moves across cultures and periods, introducing readers to stories with very different origins while considering the themes that connect them.
Among the traditions represented are ancient Sumerian mythology, including Inanna’s descent into the Underworld; Japanese mythology associated with the sun goddess Amaterasu; Greek epic tradition; Indonesian stories; and Indigenous North American narratives. Yoshitani’s vivid contemporary illustrations give each story its own visual identity while retaining details drawn from research into its cultural source.
Each card can be approached as both an oracle message and an invitation to learn more about the story behind it. Themes including ambition, insight, impulsiveness, fulfilment, gluttony, discovery, crossroads, destruction, and rebirth allow the cards to speak to everyday questions without reducing the original myths simply to fortune-telling symbols. The accompanying guidebook provides the narrative and cultural context needed to understand the figures and stories represented, alongside guidance for interpreting the cards.
For a daily practice, draw one card and consider how its central story or theme relates to the circumstances around you. The deck can also be used for larger spreads, journalling, creative inspiration, meditation, personal reflection, or alongside further study of mythology and folklore. Readers encountering an unfamiliar deity or cultural tradition may also use a card as a starting point for learning about its original context.
Beautifully presented in a boxed set, Oracle of the Divine is particularly suited to mythology lovers, oracle readers, tarot practitioners, storytellers, and anyone interested in the ways ancient and traditional stories continue to illuminate modern experiences.
Contains: 60 oracle cards and an accompanying guidebook.
