Mists of Avalon Oracle: (36 Full-Color Cards and 128-Page Booklet) (Rockpool Oracle Card Series) Cards – March 1, 2020

I scarcely know where to begin with a review of this deck. I was just riveted the moment I came across it. However, like so many others I had a reminder of the whole revulsion I felt when the story came out about Marion Zimmer Bradley, and spent time investigating whether this was related to her novels. Then, after viewing many You Tube walk throughs and reviews, I simply had to have it. It is more beautiful in person! Each card is like a talisman, and a touchstone to my personal past (T.H White’s The Once & Future King, Mary Stewart’s The Crystal Cave, to name a couple from way back in my high school years) and a feeling of both a collective connection to my European ancestry as well as the remnants of a diminished but vital matrifocal spiritual path that seems to be strengthening with each decade in the present. I try not to read the book too much (though it too is lovely) but I want to keep out of my head with this, hold it and feel it, let the life of it come into me that way. When I am ready, I will read Avalon Within: A Sacred Journey by Jhenah Telyndru a book of inner journeying to that place, While totally unconnected, except by theme, Jhenah’s book seems tailor made to accompany this marvelous deck.The artist involved, Nadia Turner, known to me only fairly recently through her work on the little Forest Fae Oracle deck, has garnered new respect from me for this incredible evocation of a past so collectively loved. I’d never heard of Rockpool Publishing before purchasing The Forest Fae late last year but now have great respect and high expectations for what else they might produce. This is a wonderful effort on the part of everyone involved, don’t hesitate to get it.

The media could not be loaded. The Mists of Avalon Oracle deck would immediately capture my heart for years to come the moment I opened it. I grew up on everything King Arthur, I study and practice Faery Wicca, and my namesake is in this deck... Nimue. The legends of Avalon to say the least has a huge impact on who I am. So I had set out specifically to find a deck, either tarot or Oracle with the thing King Arthur theme. There are a few older ones but they did seem dated and I didn't feel like I would connect to them. But this one however seemed modern with a fresh approach to the art and messages. And my goodness I was right! I do however wish there were more cards, I feel like 36 is not enough :-( I love how the keywords are beautifully inscribed on each card. Is that consists of all the characters from King Arthur, sacred landmarks from the area, and goddesses. The book is what makes this one of my favorites. It doesn't just have a message, it has a message, the keywords, a quote, a mantra and the description and story behind the card. There's so much to pull from every time you do a reading.

I am super impressed with this deck!! Immediately when I opened it, I got excited! The cards are bigger than I personally like. I prefer the size of standard tarot cards, but the imagery and connection I felt to the cards was overwhelming! The artwork is gorgeous and I absolutely love how there are words on every card to give you a bit of insight to the cards. The book is small but beautifully done! It was simple to read and explained things very clearly! I also loved the slight little Celtic touches of imagery inside the booklet! The cards themselves aren’t of fantastic quality, but I can accept that. I just feel very connected to this deck already and haven’t even done a reading yet! If your into Celtic, King Arthur, medieval, fantasy, you will love this deck! Gorgeous!

If you like Arthurian tales or British mythology, this is a wonderful deck to have

Choose this seller for others don’t have booklet.I bought this card deck from another seller and didn’t come with booklet but claimed the booklet was downloadable. Not true and the card deck was smaller and delivery took forever.

Nice

Love working with this deck. If you like days of old, this is the deck for you.

This deck consists of 36 cards of original artwork taken from the lore of King Arthur and Merlin the magician which will take you through the gateway to magick. These cards possess an ambiance that will draw you into the days of yore. The colors are vibrant and the artwork is exciting. It comes with a companion booklet and packaged in a sturdy box with cover art from The Mists of Avalon. I believe the cards are made of plastic so there is no worry over their getting wet and becoming ruined. For both collector and practitioner, I can highly recommend this deck.

Having lived near Glastonbury I am familiar with many of the special places that are depicted in this deck. They are truly magical cards and give spot on readings. Highly recommended.

Quando comecei a me interessar por Tarô e oráculos em cartas comecei a ver as possibilidades de ter meu primeiro baralho. Como ainda não estava familiarizado com os arcanos maiores e menores do sistema Rider Smith Waite decidi começar por um óraculo menos complicado. Foi então que me deparei com o Mists of Avalon Oracle. O deck me pegou de imediato, foi impossível não me encantar. Olhei alguns vídeos para ver como eram as cartas e enquanto os assistia fiquei quase hipnotizado.A arte da ilustradora é maravilhosa, completamente mágica, e traz todas as figuras que aparecem dentro de As Brumas de Avalon. O livro guia é super didático, de leitura fácil e com páginas coloridas. O tamanho das cartas é ótimo e elas possuem acabamento lustroso.Fãs de Morgana, Avalon, Rei Artur e Camelot vão amar esse oráculo.

Avalon bezocht,de kaarten spreken voor zich als je het verhaal kent,blij dat ikzeheb

Diese Karten sind ein zauberhafter Wegbegleiter für jeden Tag. Wunderschöne Bilder, die die Seele berühren. Dazu Texte voller Weisheit, die die Magie zurück in den Alltag bringen.

I made an unboxing video of these cards. I absolutely love them and connect with them. The artwork is gorgeous and the booklet is so knowledgeable and informative.
