Mythic Oracle: Wisdom of the Ancient Greek Pantheon

These are by far the most beautiful cards I own. I have three other sets of "oracle" cards, and several tarot decks, and have found that I only really connected with one of the tarot decks, and never with the oracle decks. This deck, however, is just amazing. I suppose a great deal of that is my fondness for the Greek pantheon, but the artwork is absolutely amazing, and the meanings given to each card seem to make it difficult to get a "bad" reading with the suggested layouts. Not that I'm saying the cards are all-purpose and generic - although I did notice that most of them tell you to journal your thoughts :-) - they simply seem to flow together better than any other smaller deck I've used. I very much appreciate the fact that the heroes were included in the deck. The story synopses made me like Achilles and Herakles a bit more than I had previously, and I smile every time I see my favorite, Odysseus. Only two complaints - I agree with another reviewer that other gods and goddesses could have been found to replace the duplicated gods in the pack, and I've always read that Demeter was a blonde... Did I mention that the artwork is phenomenal? I normally do not like oversized cards, but I can forgive that in this deck for the artwork. In fact, if I could have poster-sized prints of each of them, other than being flat broke for the rest of my life considering how many cards there are, I would gladly hang them on every wall of my house. Apollo, Helios, Odysseus, and Poseidon would go directly over my couch. Athena and Zeus would go over the TV... or maybe I should reverse that so I could SEE the first four. Hmmm... Probably shouldn't have Hades and Persephone in the dining room, I'd scare off my guests...

I chose this deck because our modern western culture is based on the archetypes of the ancient Greeks. While the Universe can speak through any deck of cards, why not give it the closest possible language to work with to describe the archetypal patterns in our lives? In time, the beautiful artwork and the short blurbs in the instruction book describing each card will deepen your understanding, and you will see these patterns occurring in your life. With this deck you will understand what the well known mythologist Joseph Campbell meant when he said that "the gods are inside of you." There are profound interpretations for each card. It's great therapy. I've had accurate readings with this deck.

I would recommend this to others!

I love Greek Mythology and tarot cards/oracle cards hence the reason I was so excited to find a deck that combined both. The art work is spectacular bringing to mind both the sensual aspect and the warmth these gods and goddesses possessed. The book descriptions were a bit thin but the advice of others holds true study the cards first then read the book. I understand the duplications of certain of the gods/goddesses but really did not understand the need for them. When there were others that could have filled in those roles admirably. Instead of two Demeters why not have put Gaea into one of the roles. Also could have added Nyx, Helen of Troy, Hippolyta, Jason of the Argonauts, Theseus, Oceanus (instead of one of the Poseidon cards), Uranus (divine expansion instead of one of the Zeus cards), The Graces, and so many mores. In my opinion the deck is awesome but could have been much more involved. Perhaps the next time out someone will work on expanding it.

This deck make me feel so close to the Greek Gods. Like Gods and Titans & Goddesses and Sirens, there is an inner box with a pocket that holds the deck in place. The card stock is abit thin, closer to Oracle of the shapeshifters than some of their newer decks. I am aware this is an older-ish deck. Good guide book and I love the artwork so much. Not every image fits my mental image of what the deity would look like but thats rather minor.

A surprisingly well written and beautifully illustrated tarot/oracle set based on the figures of Greek mythology. I've gotten quite a bit of good use from it and would recommend it to anyone that likes clear and insightful interpretations. Though written for a younger audience, it still bares up well for adult use as well. The cards are large and may be a bit cumbersome for users with smaller hands. I found them a little difficult to shuffle and I have well-sized man's hands. Overall, I would recommend the purchase. The price is right.

If you love mythology you will like these. The art work is very vibrant and beautiful and the meanings are nice

Love these cards. They help me connect and be guided by my gods when my own intentions, and deferments aren’t serving me. Very helpful, and insightful. 💗

J'ai été happée par les magnifiques oeuvres de Michele-lee Phelan la première fois que je les ai croisées au détour de la toile, sur des sites consacrées aux critiques d'oracles et de tarots. N'étant pas très proche du monde grec, je m'étais raisonnée. Seulement, trois mois plus tard, la magie était toujours présente, et j'ai décidé de les acheter. Grand bien m'en a pris ! Les cartes sont de grandes dimensions, permettant de voir tous les détails des oeuvres de la dessinatrice de talent. Le seul bémol, c'est qu'elles en deviennent difficiles à manier et à battre, ce qui est peut être important pour des gens ayant de petites mains (dans ce cas là, je leur conseillerais le Hanson Robert Tarot, qui a la taille d'un jeu de cartes à jouer tout en étant magnifique :)). Il y a un mot-clé sur chacune d'entre elle, ainsi que le nom de la divinité. Le livret qui accompagne ce jeu est en noir et blanc. Il y a une petite introduction, plusieurs tirages présentés, et, enfin, une petite reproduction de chaque carte suivie de la description du mythe de chaque personnage représenté et du message contenu dans la carte. Quelques exemples de cartes : Rhea -> Protection Mnemosyne -> Inspiration Hebe -> Play Ares -> Battle Atlas -> Responsibility Cronus -> Cycle Cet oracle m'a délivré des messages solides, qui m'ont permis de changer mon point de vue sur des situations qui me bloquaient. L'un des plus beaux message m'a même été délivré par, pourtant, un héros mythologique que j'ai toujours eu du mal à aborder et que je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé, Achille (Glory). Toujours pertinent, magnifique, très inspirant, je conseille cet oracle à tous ceux qui aiment les oeuvres d'art inspirantes ou qui aiment la mythologie grecque, car je suis certaine que ce magnifique jeu vous aidera :)
