About this item
- The 32 Wiccan Cards are specially designed to be an easy introduction to Wicca and show symbols from Pagan life. Pleasantly, the cards have minimal text and thin borders, the less to distract from the images.

Reviews
The Wiccan Cards by Nada Mesar (author) and Chatriya Hemharnvibul (illustrator) were specially designed to offer an easy pictorial introduction for all interested in Wicca and/or other Pagan religion based on a Celtic or Germanic background. Of course, you can also use the cards if you are from another religion as there are many symbols used in other religions as well such as butterfly, broom, pumpkins, canopy, cat, fox, horse, mask, etc.) Most symbols are taken from European folk magick of various traditions (mostly Celtic symbols and archetypal pictures which are not bound to a special tradition).
The 33 cards can be used both upside and reversed. (reversed means that the cards are showing upside down) , the meaning may change when they are reversed and may have a different, sometimes less favourable meaning. The cards are divided into 4 element cards, 2 God cards, 8 cards representing the 8 High Sabbaths, 3 Master cards and 16 cards with symbols of Pagan life.
The Wiccan Oracle cards can also be used for ritual magick as a kind of focus in spellwork or for meditation. The Wiccan Oracle cannot and will not replace other books written on Wicca. They are a first introduction into the Wiccan Way of Life come true into the colours and pictures of this deck.
Author’s Notes
Merry meet, dear all,
I was very proud when I was asked by LoScarabeo (special thanks to Mario, Riccardo and Valentina!) to write an outline for a deck based on Wicca and elements of traditional witchcraft. My special thanks go also to Chatriya from Thailand for her wonderful paintings and her interest in this project.
This deck will not and cannot cover all needs and there are certainly some why’s and other questions which may come to the mind of fellow Pagans.
Please see the cards as one way of getting to know one way of Wicca and the Craft. There is no ultimate way to approach the Craft. Just feel free to discover your way to the Goddess and the God by means of this deck.
