THE JOURNEY ORACLE

46 vibrantly illustrated life path cards

We are connected by our lives and loves. I'm hoping these cards draw out the solitary and lonely so that they see they are truly not alone--that others have traveled this same path, experienced the same feelings and survived. They are also meant to enlighten those who have achieved contentment and still seek guidance." -- from the companion book to The Journey Oracle

There are very few girl-centric oracle decks on the market--perhaps none at all, in fact. Fortunately for "girl power", artist Adrienne Trafford brings her lively brush and sensitive heart to The Journey Oracle.

A vibrant, 46-card deck, The Journey Oracle depicts longings and dilemmas we all face at some point in life: Wishes, defiance, adventure, independence, beauty, loss, passion, entanglement, patience and more.

Yet, because each of the cards depict young females, The Journey Oracle becomes a poignant reminder of the innocence of youth and its unique challenges: a changing body, attempting to define "beauty", navigating early relationships, wanting to belong, seeking identity, desiring freedom and searching for what is "real" and lasting in a tumultuous world.

These distinctive circumstances are rarely addressed in oracle or Tarot decks, which is why The Journey Oracle's timely arrival will be especially welcomed by adolescent girls and young women seeking to understand themselves and the world. Indeed, parents, grandparents, caregivers, siblings and friends will find a gentle bridge to the young females in their lives by gifting this deck or, better yet, by using the cards with them for increased intimacy and personal support.

In the 96-page companion book, Adrienne offers two insights into each card: What This Card Says and What This Card Means.
