Jade Oracle Deck

This is the 2nd daily spread I’ve done with the Jade Oracle cards, and I’m really liking this deck.

The best way I can describe this deck is like looking through fog or smoke in the beginning. The authors give a back story about the deity or important item that the card depicts before getting into the actual meaning of the card. So it’s all hazy until it snaps into focus.

Like, I’m reading through it, wondering how it pertains to me, like walking through fog. But once the meaning hits? The fog clears out completely and everything is crystal clear. Fun way to read the cards.

Now, the cards are a bit more “gruesome” as they are based off of Aztec symbolism and mythology. And we all have heard the stories of the ancient Aztecs. BUT, the meanings there are really well done. I can see this deck becoming a quick favorite of mine.

It’s like a good mix between Oracle and Tarot. Oracle decks tend to be hazier and kinder with their meanings, whereas Tarot calls you out on your bullshit nine different ways. This deck definitely brings that Tarot-like bitch-slap of truth…but you have to hunt around a bit more for it, like the Oracle decks.
