The Star & Crown Oracle is the second deck, after Button Soup Tarot, produced by the members of Cult of Tarot Forum.
Multiple artists contributed some extraordinary work to this project and I am so excited to see it come to completion.
The theme of the deck was inspired by the times we have been living through these past few months of 2020. There are so many things happening. there are not enough words to express all what people are experiencing.
This is an oracle, in the truest sense. An Oracle by definition is a go-between, a bridge between the Earth (the earthly, human concerns) and the “Heavens” (the divine, heavenly or spiritual guides.).
The idea is to create a deck that helps to bridge the imaginary gulf we dig between our earthly concerns and our higher selves. A deck that helps us perceive the spirit of the divine in our everyday struggles and the struggles of the larger community we live in.

A sampling of the deck in progress.
This Oracle is about communication. It’s about creating links between things, between people, ideas, feelings, etc. It’s about finding solutions and responses to the things we face in our personal lives and in the greater world. We’ll see how “small” themes lead to larger ones and how they work together, compliment & support each other.
The artists have drawn upon their own lives & esoteric practices, concepts, or studies they are versed in.
In the end, the cards will all come together and form a truly unique Oracle of powerful connections.
The cards do not have keywords.
The idea is to create images that the reader will be influenced by with or without using the guidebook. The meaning/symbolism of the card will be explained in the guidebook by the artist.
This means each artist has determined for themselves what concept their card will communicate, what bridge between the Crown & Star they are depicting.
