This oracle cards set features Maree Bento's handmade mixed-media collages using 19th century artwork & photography. Each card was intentionally crafted and channeled into a working deck for creative card readers, diviners, and mages who study alchemy, archetypes, and the occult; and for mystics or witches who practice divination, ancestral and shadow work.
 
The Divine Muses Oracle cards seek to explore creativity, mysticism, and healing using the archetypal forces found in alchemy, magic, and mythology to support insight, self-realization, and transformation. Yoking the celestial into the terrestrial, the sacred into the mundane, and the unconscious into the conscious.

A DEEPER LOOK - The Divine Muses Oracle was first self-published by Maree in English. With this oracle deck, Maree wanted to explore the various magical, creative, and healing archetypal influences. She was drawn to the idea of developing an oracle deck free from the structure of the Tarot or Lenormand. Maree used both of these systems in her divination practice, but asked herself what would happen if she opened herself to whatever archetypal forces came to her?

Well, a structure for the oracle began to unveil itself. A synergy of divinatory pathways took shape. Multiple voices in concert, calling out universal truths. Archetypes occasionally merging as Maree channeled the artwork; other cards inspiring and begetting others. Two years later, her third deck was birthed; an oracle deck that could be a divine prompt for my intuitive, creative, and spiritual practice, with great potential to be a mystical toolkit for others on a similar, kindred path. ​

Maree's intention for the purpose of this oracle is to help one:
♥ Increase psychic, creative and spiritual potential.
♥ Harness magical insight and personal empowerment.
♥ Identify and understand one's path and its cycles of growth and transformation.
♥ Better understand the self and others through observing the archetypes in the world, inside and out .​
♥ Recognize and connect with the shadow aspect of each archetype, honoring one's shadow work.

Archetypal energies explored:
○ Greek Muses—9 Greek Muses, including an extra 10th, representing channels for inspiration.
○ Alchemy Animals—six cards representing the alchemical process.
○ Four Magical Elements—represented by mystical Elementals, called "Spirits" who represent the four suits of the tarot and the four directions of magic.
○ Jungian Concepts — traditional, as well as modern fusions.
○ And, other magical beings, witchy influences, and divine prompts.

The beauty of oracle cards is that you don't have to know how to read them yet! If you're new to reading the cards, just ask your question, draw one card, and read the companion book for guidance!

The book has a section on how to read and use the oracle cards in spreads and ritual, making this oracle set accessible for new readers.
