Imagine slipping down a rabbit hole where the very air is filled with the fragrance of mystery, magic, and the unexpected. If that sounds enchanting, then The Alice in Wonderland Oracle Deck by Lucy Cavendish is your very own key to unlocking the wondrous world of Wonderland. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale or someone drawn to the whimsy and wisdom of the fantastical, this deck invites you to step into a world where nothing is quite as it seems, and everything has a deeper meaning.
From the moment you hold the cards, you feel as though you’ve stepped into a dream, one where the rules of logic don’t apply and the language of symbols and metaphor is the true guide. The artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith is absolutely stunning, bringing the beloved characters of Wonderland to life with luminous colors and intricate details. The vivid imagery, from the Cheshire Cat’s mischievous grin to the Queen of Hearts’ regal fury, whispers its secrets to you, urging you to delve deeper and embrace the journey of self-discovery.
What makes this deck so special is how it mirrors the themes of Alice’s journey: curiosity, transformation, and the beauty of embracing the unknown. Each card offers a glimpse into this wonderland, but rather than simply offering straightforward answers, it encourages you to look beyond the obvious, think sideways, and trust your intuition. It’s as if the deck is saying: “Don’t just read the cards, experience them, just like Alice experiences Wonderland, where every twist and turn holds a lesson.”
The deck uses the characters and elements from Alice in Wonderland as metaphors for the inner workings of our minds and the challenges we face in our personal and spiritual lives. The Cheshire Cat, with its grin and cryptic words, could be seen as a reminder that sometimes the path ahead isn’t meant to be clear; it’s the journey itself that is the teacher. The White Rabbit, perpetually late, could symbolize our own impatience or the pressure we place on ourselves to meet external expectations. And the Queen of Hearts? She’s a loud, demanding voice of ego and control, urging you to find balance between assertiveness and compassion.

See your message below
Card one: Impossible Things
Message: A Struggle to accept what seems unlikely. Devote regular time to improving a situation. Becoming better at something you care about or changing something for the better. Meditate on a miracle and believe in impossible things!
Card Two: Shine Bright Like a Candle
Message: You are changing, and all about you everything seems unfamiliar. You are changing so much that you may be wondering if you will make it through this change. You may, like Alice, be thinking that if things keep going the way they are that you could go out like a candle and end altogether. But, Alice does not cease to exist simply because she is an unpredictable situation and nor will you!
Card Three: We're All Mad Here
Message: Most people like to fit in. Most people like to feel that all the other people feel that they are quite normal. And other people like to be around people who are very safe, predictable, and well, ordinary. Only, as Alice is told by the wise Cheshire Cat, we are all mad. There is not a person on this planet that does not have a little secret, or a strange little something that have done, or do. And yet, on and on we go, all the time attempting to be normal.
Why you Should Consider this Deck?
For Deep Introspection and Self-Discovery:
Like Alice, this deck encourages you to question everything, to look beneath the surface and uncover hidden truths. The lessons it brings are not always straightforward, but they are rich and rewarding if you take the time to explore them.
To Embrace the Unconventional:
In Wonderland, nothing makes sense in a typical way. This deck invites you to break free from rigid thinking and embrace the unexpected. It encourages you to think creatively, trust your intuition, and find wisdom in places you might normally overlook.
For Those Seeking Transformation:
Just like Alice grows and changes as she navigates Wonderland, this deck offers guidance on personal growth. It reminds you that transformation is often a disorienting process; sometimes you have to lose yourself in the chaos before you can find your way.
For Fun and Whimsy:
The deck has an undeniable charm and whimsy, making it perfect for those who enjoy a lighter, more playful approach to tarot or oracle readings. It’s like a treasure chest of joy, nostalgia, and lightheartedness, all while offering genuine spiritual wisdom.
This deck is not just a tool for divination; it’s a gateway into the mystical and imaginative realms of your inner world. It helps you navigate the contradictions of life, teaching you that answers aren’t always found where you expect them, but in the places you’ve yet to explore. Every reading with this deck feels like you’re sitting down for tea with a wise and eccentric friend, one who challenges you to think differently and reminds you of the magic that exists all around you.
There’s a beautiful balance in this deck between whimsy and depth. The lighthearted, fantastical elements of Wonderland serve as an entryway to explore more profound spiritual lessons. Transformation, acceptance, creativity, and curiosity are all embedded in the cards, but they’re not heavy-handed. Instead, they’re presented in a way that feels more like a delightful adventure than a sermon. This deck is ideal for those who appreciate a gentle yet profound approach to spiritual growth, where the learning comes from the playfulness of the journey rather than the weight of the destination.
