Let&#8217;s look at the Soul Helper Oracleby Christine Arana Fader and illustrated by Elena Dudina. If Fader&#8217;s name sounds familiar it&#8217;s because you&#8217;ve seen it before on The Magical Buffet when I held <a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/?p=16679\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Battle of the Dragon Oracle Decks.<\/a> She was behind the Dragon Wisdomdeck that was featured in that article. It was why I wanted to take a peek at Fader&#8217;s latest work with a different artist.<\/p>\n<p>The illustrations for the Soul Helper Oracleare enchanting. I was unfamiliar with artist Elena Dudina but her rendering of environments is magical. Normally, I&#8217;m more drawn to art where a person is the centerpiece. It&#8217;s rare that my favorite cards in a deck are ones where the people are just a small part of the whole.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220424_100753-286x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18276\" \/>The deck itself is 43 cards and the guidebook offers a 21-day cycle of working with the theme of a card to explore yourself. Each card has four companions to support your work with the message of each card: a crystal, a spirit animal, a number, and a plant essence. I love how the deck is geared towards self-discovery and that Fader offers ideas to support your work. The only question I have, is with such clear ideas in mind, and a capable illustrator rendering the cards, couldn&#8217;t the crystal, spirit animal, number, and plant be incorporated into the art of each card? (Each card has a number, some have the animal, some have crystal, and some have the plant.) As it is, you need to always refer to the guidebook to see those.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, the Soul Helper Oracleis a great deck for anyone looking for an oracle with beautiful artwork and is geared for exploration of the self.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/books\/soul-helper-oracle\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in getting your own copy of the Soul Helper Oracle?Well, I have great news for you!
