A brand new oracle deck by Amanda Lovelace that is as beautiful, fantastical, empowering and diverse as you'd expect. As a fan of her poetry and of witchcraft and feminism, I couldn't resist.
It's as sure as the stars and the infinite cosmos to help out any girls and women in any tough or bleak situation. Spiritual or not, the pretty cards are about offering advice on introspection, self-love, self-healing, confidence, and independence; the fairy tale imagery is metaphorical.
Definitely an Amanda Lovelace product then.
On the cards are illustrations of teen girls of various shapes and skin colours - who are vulnerable but yearn for freedom from oppression, toxicity, abuse, trauma, societal expectations etc. - who wield swords, fly without wings, confront dragons and castles, cast spells, cut their own hair, and are just badass queens, mermaids and witches. These enchanting pictures are impossible to resist for me.
A magical recommendation from me. For magic - the power to change things - can be found inside all of us. Smash that patriarchy!
Nice shout-out to Katniss Everdeen too, Ms Lovelace!
Final Score: 4/5
This sounds like such a cool deck, I love anything that empowers women. :)
