The Green World Oracle

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Green World Oracle by Kathleen Jenks. Art by Sandra Stanton. Presentation box set of 33 cards and Guidebook. Published by Schiffer Books. RRP US $39.99 : UK £26.00

In the extensive Guidebook, we are given for each card, a number, a title, a quote, a painting and notes from the artist. Then the deep dive begins for each card with The Mythic World, a delicious, poetical and magical write up, nourishing, and vast in its understanding, The Botany/History describes more about the particular plant and its healing and health abilities. Then comes The Reading. When you know all about the card chosen, then you give the reading. Upright and Reversed positions are detailed. 

The deck is dedicated to the Earth’s trees and plants and the humans who seek wisdom. Taking its titles from trees and the natural world, we find a bible of ancient and natural law. 

The author, the late Kathleen Jenks, held a PhD in religious studies. We are fortunate to have her wonderful Oracle. I feel she has put a lifetime’s love of the subject into this book.

The artist, Sandra Stanton, uses a method from the Venetian Renaissance, under painting many layers of pigment and varnish to produce vibrancy and detail. 

This is first class, in depth oracular material that is beautifully presented and a treasure chest of knowledge, kindness and insight. 

This Oracle does not disappoint! The images are wonderful artworks and the text for each card is a story of devotion and joy.
