Talk, Tarot & Tea
☆ Oracle Deck | Packaging | 45 Oracle Cards | 100 Page Booklet ☆
The Talk, Tarot & Tea oracle deck began as a seed of an idea 5 years ago when I began doing women's circles after a trip to Toronto, Canada that filled me with deep inspiration and clarity about my calling. I began teaching groups of 10 - 15 women in circles and incorporated meditation, journalling, tarot and tea. The result was around 100 handwritten prompts from my teachings with hundreds of women that I condensed into this oracle deck. Each oracle card artwork is lovingly hand-painted on canvas
using acrylic paint, coloured pencils and marker and then photographed for printing.
☆ The Result ☆
A 45 card oracle deck for connecting to your full self using journalling prompts, crystal & angel suggestions and a 100 page guidebook with suggestions towards teas to sip while exploring. Plus a beautiful hand painted box to store everything in. All of the design, artwork, photography & prompts were written by myself and it was printed in Dublin .
☆ The Book Pages ☆
Each card has journal prompts, a tea to drink, angel to call in and affirmation next to the card description like the below card. This allows the person using the deck to both use it with clients, in a ceremony with other woman or use it for themselves to learn more about who they are.
☆ The Hand Painted Boxes ☆
The hand painted boxes I made for edition one to bring an added element of magic. The customer could choose to have their name written on the front or have it completely blank with just
the stars, moon and spacey blue background.
☆ The Cards ☆
Painted with autumnal colours, each card has keywords to hint at what the card may be
about to go with the book page. The person choosing the cards may choose a three card, five card or Celtic Cross spread - the deck allows for all three! With 45 cards total ranging from all different topics the wide range of answers the reader may get is unlimited and allows for some
very interesting discussions.
☆ The Seven Chakra Cards ☆
The seven chakra cards were my favourite part to create in the deck. I chose yoga poses for each that represented ways to open that particular chakra and all together they make a beautiful colourful set.
☆ The Back Design ☆
The back of the cards uses my eye logo and the spacey blue background I painted on my boxes
☆ My Favourite 12 Images From The Deck ☆
☆ The Artwork ☆
The original illustrations were painted on canvas board then photographed and added
digitally to the card layouts in Adobe Illustrator.
☆ The Cards ☆
Below are all 45 cards as images by themselves along with the name of the card on top. This deck was by far the hardest, most rewarding passion project i've ever created and looking back I don't even know how I myself created this artwork. I must have been in a deep trance the whole time!
I hope you enjoyed reading about my favourite creation.
