DownUnderNZer Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 ORACLE 48 These are a few images of the Oracle I put together using the available resources I had on hand. It should be delivered within the next few weeks or so. Some of these (like the fave one) took a few hours to do for each as it all came down to lining it up right and choosing the right material. Am hoping it will be a workable deck rather than another door stopper. A) One of my favourite cards plus the back. B) That image by itself. C) A timing card - 3 Months. It possibly has other meanings as well when used in a general way. DND
DownUnderNZer Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 MAIN THEMES: So, I have chosen cards to represent main themes or areas that are asked like: 1) Love 2) Relationships 3) Wealth 4) Job and Career 5) Spiritual 6) Health Plus some... Family
DownUnderNZer Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE... I wanted more depth or at least more to the deck than the same old same old - so this deck combines fantasy and reality within its images because in life we tend to border between both because it is what makes the world go around. It's in our imaginations, in movies, books and all around us whether we want to see it or not. And I wanted something that would be literal as well as a bit cryptic. This deck offers me both - to be literal and/or to go beyond and stretch my intuition. Not only that, but to go beyond like a Psychic/Medium rather that just another card with a single word meaning the same thing as 100 other decks. NORTH AMERICA & SOUTH AMERICA When I think of the USA the first thing that comes to my mind is July 4th which is Independence Day, also, slavery and the Civil Wars etc. And the white picket fence, house dream and perfect family. So, this card is not just about countries/continents, but for me it could also represent being independent and achieving big dreams. Freedom and high achievement, but at a cost. For others the USA might have a totally different meaning and that is the beauty of this card - how I see it would be different to how others might see it if it was to be read by them. This card can be used for the following: 1) Past Life 2) Travel (General) 3) To describe a person. 4) To describe a situation. 5) Combined with other cards to mean something intuitive.

DownUnderNZer Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) A LITTLE MORE OF THE BEYOND... So, I am usually good at picking up on names, but I thought putting this together like I did would be ideal to do just that only if this card turns up in the spread being done at the time. A trigger or sign to let me know it is time for me to see what I pick up with the letters, numbers or both! E.g. Names/Dates. Alphabet & Numbers: Edited May 17, 2019 by DownUnderNZer
DownUnderNZer Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 WHAT IS NOT OBVIOUS Little Update: My Oracle is at the airport awaiting custom clearance! Even though 99.99% of these cards have no words whatsoever I have selected certain images (24 cards approx) that are leaning towards male or female energies and not just that, but physical descriptions/features. Going even further - all are connected to specific areas of the body and related diseases (E.g. Joints - Arthritis), possible professions, and yet still remain cards that can be read quite literally or intuitively. Even the timing cards. Now just to put them to the test once they are cleared and delivered - so that will be my mission in the coming weeks. Door stopper or a little gem. DND
DownUnderNZer Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) ANOTHER ONE - CONTINENTS/COUNTRIES Might do one a day or every other day until I get my deck - not decided. Africa+Egypt+Asia+India 1) For Past Lives. 2) Travel. 3) Spiritual/Cultural/Religious. 4) Characteristics. 5) General. I think I have travelled to all these places except maybe India. Africa - On doing something with the Lenormand on AT some years ago (Ancestry) I feel Africa goes back to the roots of many, so for me, the image on the card that represents Africa is about going back to one's roots or the basics. Not just that, but perhaps looking at one's Ancestry/Geneaology/Heritage personally or as a career. Even Anthropologist etc. There is more to Africa than just that, but I will come across this when it comes to applying this to situations. Should the card be looked at as a whole or just the segment it falls on plus where it positions itself. Egypt - This also goes right back in time only there was a bit more to civilisation and Pharoahs (some if not most) were worshipped like Gods. So, this to me, could refer to someone that has a superior complex or is a narcissist. One that is above everyone else. However, if it was applied to a career then maybe I would think someone right up at the top like a manager or CEO. La crème de la creme so as to say. But...I am not sure yet if I would use the Continent/Countries for areas like: Jobs/Careers. When I was in Egypt for about 6 weeks - I remember how noticeable it was when it came to the wealthy, middle class and poor. And I tend to think a majority fell in the poverty category. In homes and even out in public I saw children as young as 6 or 7 dressed with white coats not too different to what doctor's wear only to find out they were something like au pairs . Working and exploited. However, with the image on this card, I am not sure yet if I would quite use it for how I experienced Egypt. I will think on it... No limitations where intuition or imagination can go!. Edited May 19, 2019 by DownUnderNZer
DownUnderNZer Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) PSYCHOLOGICAL Not quite Freud, Skinner, Piaget or....Jung. Who else do I remember? Erickson - he was interesting, but there are a few cards in this deck that have a Psychological aspect to them like the one below. This one could be about heavy burdens that weigh down on us or finding absolution to life's troubles and unfair hand at times. However, it is not limited to just that either. It could be the stages a person goes through when going through a bad situation and/or relationship etc. This is one of the negative or not so positive cards in my deck.

DownUnderNZer Posted May 20, 2019 Author Posted May 20, 2019 ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER! TWO OF THESE THINGS ARE... Sesame street. Anyone remember that song?. One of these things is not like the other. Two of these things are kind of the same.... This is another fave card out of the 48. Some of these cards are like that song and some are done in a way that can be read by how they have been structured rather than the images put on each. E.g. Colours/Spacing etc. In regards to this card in particular you will notice that three images are quite close up, but one is a bit more distant and centred. And there is a reason for this only I cannot really say as it was done in a way that I could read it. It can add another layer and depth or perhaps another little spin if you like. Or...just a little nudge and reminder for me only.
