Like many of you, I have a wicked tarot\/oracle addiction. And so, like many of you, I have a crap ton of decks. All of this is to say, at this point I try to get decks that seem truly unique, and I have one to share with you today.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ \u201cOdin & the Nine Realms Oracle\u201d by Sonja Grace is a delightful mix of intuitive and traditional deck design. The art is done by the deck\u2019s author\/designer and is an inspired mash up of her Norwegian and Native American heritage. The deck features 54 cards of well-known Norse deities like Odin, Freya, and Thor; an assortment of runes, and of course the Nine Realms of Asgard, Midgard, Vanaheim, Jotunheim, Nlflheim, Muspelheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, and Hel.<\/p>\n

As with all oracle decks, my preferred method of use is the single card draw. And since the deck comes with a substantial book, featuring card images for each card in the deck, looking up card interpretations is easy. It also features 8 spreads that work with the deck. The companion book is sturdy and will hold up under repeated use and the book and deck fit into a solid cardboard box that has one of those nice magnetic closures. Like all decks I\u2019ve seen lately, my one concern is the card stock. The cards look beautiful, but they feel a bit thin, so I worry about how they\u2019ll hold up under heavy usage.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ When everything is said and done, \u201cOdin & the Nine Realms Oracle\u201d is a unique and interesting take on the oracle deck. Its obvious audience is anyone interested in Norse mythology, but is wonderful for anyone looking for something different to add to their collection.<\/p>\n
