Oracle decks are intriguing because they have no rules. For some that may make them seem \u201clesser\u201d than a traditional tarot deck, but a well thought out oracle deck can certainly hold its own against tarot. It\u2019s obvious why I wanted to look at Judika Illes \u201cMagic Spells Oracle.\u201d Illes is a legend in the witchcraft community and is known for writing the big book of spells, \u201cThe Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells.\u201d What would she create?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cMagic Spells Oracle\u201d is composed of 36 cards. According to the included guidebook, the deck is \u201cintended to help you grasp and wield the profound, transformative, and healing powers of magic, these cards will enable you to discover and cultivate the magic powers that already exist with you.\u201d The oracle deck is divided into four suits: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water, with the addition of \u201cBalancing\u201d cards that act like wild cards. The artwork for the deck is simple but striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cMagic Spells Oracle\u201d comes with a 128-page, full color, guidebook. And it wouldn\u2019t be written by Illes if it wasn\u2019t PACKED with information. Sure, you get interpretations for all the cards, many examples of spreads and other ways to use the deck, and of course, the basics of preparing your deck for use. However, she also discusses the nature of magic, the creation of spells, and oracles in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m pleased to say that Judika Illes created a fascinating and versatile deck with the \u201cMagic Spells Oracle.\u201d If you want an attractive deck that can do it all, this is the one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
