I haven't yet created my own oracle or tarot deck--but I purchased the blank cards to do so many years ago! I've always been wanting to do this, but then I draw a blank as to what to do. I think now if I do create it, it will be an oracle and not tarot.
The Oracle of Toy Classics is great! That was a great idea! I have seen the Chakra Lenormand before & I like the artwork in that deck too. Simple pictures--so you get the idea immediately what the card is--its not busy. That in Lenormand is important to me. Plus the colors are soft. Very comforting. The best cloud card I think I've seen in a Lenormand deck. Oftentimes, the cloud card will have mountains in the background, or a ship and I have to take a good hard look at it to make sure it IS the cloud card and not the ship card or mountain card. So that was WELL done!
The Snapshot Oracle is also well done! I love how SpiritOfTheDogz used photographs for the cards. I had thought of that for my own Lenormand deck, but so far haven't done anything with that idea. My husband has made a wooden heron-life size and painted it and it sits on our property in the garden. I was going to use that for the stork since I want "my" deck to be pictures taken by me. But, again--that project has yet to even get started.
We have quite a few talented people here in A.T. who have created their own decks. Linnie with her "AHA" Oracle deck and BodhiSeeds deck, "Elements of Recovery". Both of these are new additions to my collection. There are other decks too done by our A.T. family/friends that I haven't named here--and as there are so many of these very creative and wonderful people--I will just leave it at that. I am in awe of their talent!
@Ace, mmm luv that idea!^^ now I wish we someone created Candy Oracle deck!^^ lolz )
I truly believe that ANYTHING can be an oracle if you want it to be.
To prove it, I do "Valentine Candy Heart" readings in February, when I can get candy hearts.
I decide what the color means (green would be jealousy, white, being realistic, yellow is joy, purple is passion, blue sadness, wherever.) and read and interpret the message. it is fun to add as an extra treat on a tarot reading at that time of year.
Also: after discussing this idea with a friend, we did Chocolate readings at Science fiction convention one year. We each created M&M readings (I used my horoscope spread to spread them and then read the colors) and I successfully scryed on a broken chocolate bar. We had a great time!
