Dive into the Depths of Wisdom with the Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish, Artwork by Selina French

The Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish is the perfect deck to take you on a mystical underwater adventure like no other! 🌊🧜‍♀️

From the first moment you lay eyes on this deck, you're transported to the shimmering depths of the ocean, where mermaids swim gracefully through iridescent waters, offering secrets of the deep and wisdom from forgotten realms. With each card, you’re invited to listen to the whispers of the sea, call on the magic of the merfolk, and discover what the ocean has to reveal about your inner world.

What’s absolutely enchanting about this deck is the artwork, it's like each card is a treasure from the sea, filled with vibrant colors, detailed illustrations, and dreamlike scenes that feel like they’ve come straight out of an ancient mermaid myth. The mermaids themselves are depicted as wise, ethereal beings who know all the secrets of the tides and currents of life, and they’re more than ready to share them with you. 🌟

The messages in the deck are equally mystical, but they’re delivered in a way that’s grounded and accessible. Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, self-discovery, or just some guidance from the deep waters of your soul, this deck helps you tap into your intuition and connect with the flow of life. Each card invites you to trust the ebb and flow, release what no longer serves you, and embrace the powerful currents of change.

What I absolutely love about The Oracle of the Mermaids is that it’s both gentle and empowering. The mermaids aren’t just here to float serenely in the background, they’re powerful, compassionate, and sometimes a little cheeky! They remind you that there’s magic in surrendering to the tides of life, and that by embracing both the calm and stormy seas, you unlock a whole new world of wisdom.

Message: What you contemplate can actualize. It is time to observe what is around and about you, to truly gaze upon what can be seen, and to think on it for a time. It does not mean to worry or fret over it, to turn it this way and that in a quiet frenzy, trying to find the right thing to do. But it does mean contemplation, a time of gathering all the threads of the half-formed thoughts, and following some through to their end and reaching a better understanding of what it is you are currently looking at.

Card Three: Guide

Message: A Guide, Mentor, a trustworthy ally

This card appears in a reading for your to herald the arrival of one who you can trust. A spirit guide wishes to make healing contact with you. They are extremely loving, helpful, and they have personality - they are like cool, clear water, unconditionally loving, warm, and very helpful in matters of adaptation, and improvement of your human experience. They relate to you.

Be ready for your psychic abilities to be similarly challenged, you may find yourself discarding baggage in the form of belief systems that are over-complicated and power-oriented. You will find all the stimulation you need in simplicity and yet you will be more awake than ever intellectually.
