The Elemental Oracle: alchemy | science | magic

As an astrologer and diviner with an interest in geomancy, I had high hopes for this deck, which focuses on the elements and other more modern aspects of the physical world. Although I was impressed with the design and found the inclusion of more contemporary aspects of the natural world refreshing, I found the booklet rather poorly thought-out and frankly, a bit on the shallow side. It seemed a bit slap-dash and not really well-conceived, especially some of the Greek concepts, which seem poorly understood. As a result, I use the cards regularly but seldom refer to the book. One improvement to the cards might be to not use the same symbols on every card but to rather include symbols that are more relevant to each substance/element/physical force - otherwise they just become gratuitous. Still, congratulations to Kinga on your beautiful artwork.

I'm so upset.The presentation was great, with a really pretty box and, even if some are really annoyingly flat, pretty cards.Once you give it a deeper look, though, the deck falls short: no explanation whatsoever of the symbols at the bottom (not everyone knows them), and of the "ancient words" the Latin ones are wrong. I cannot speak for the other languages, even if I recognised some of the Greek ones and they seem accurate...It cooled all the excitement I felt in waiting for it. I guess I will have to make it work.I'm afraid I will think about it twice before buying from these author and artist again.

This is an absolutely stunning gorgeous deck .. that has inspired me to get back to doing readings for myself ........Saw this deck and I just knew I had to have it..... I am a big fan of Stacey Demarco Decks .. You can just meditate on a card and pull so much from it .. The guide book is so well written and the art work is amazing.. I will be purchasing a second copy real soon ..

This deck is so unique in its style. Incorporating elements not normally worked with for magick & witchcraft. I love the symbolism used and the colours.The card stock is of excellent quality, the box is strong and sturdy with a full colour guide book.The things that let this down for me were as follows. The author used a wonderful symbol on the back of the cards and again inside the boxBut doesn’t provide any information about this symbol or why it was chosen. I personally would have loved to of had this information included. She also doesn’t use the correct elements for the directs of north south east and west that are traditionally used in witchcraft which I found very odd. Other than this I love this deck and find it to be very well done.

The cards themselves are stunning, the book however doesn't help you interpret the meanings its like they've been supplied with a childs book of scientific facts about each subject on the card. Great if you want to know how volcanoes work or how big the core of the earth is but useless if you want guidance of how to interpret the cards.
