Update on the Oracle decks!

Hi All!

Wanted to check in and let you know what I've been up to! I’ve been hard at work determining the best packing and shipping options for your decks! I’ve ordered packaging supplies and am working on putting together shipping surveys.


I’ve also been making some tweaks to the cards after from spending some time with the proof decks to make sure that the Oracle is the best quality it can be :) A I will be putting in the order for the decks for all of you shortly. My printer had great turnaround time for the proofs, so I am confident that the order will go smoothly.


I was able to try out using the decks for reading at an open studio event and it was so much fun to give readings to studio visitors!

I’ve also received a few inquiries about whether the decks with be available for sale now that the Kickstarter order period is over and the answer is yes! I will have the decks up for sale through my Etsy store once I have finished fulfilling all the orders for you fine folks. You can find me at https://SuziMakesArt.etsy.com


All Best! Suzi

I ordered a limited 10 deck run from my printer Shuffled Ink as a proof of both the Night and Day decks and the decks just arrived! They look so good! The quality is really impressive, the surfaces are smooth and unblemished, the colors pop, and the cut is precise. I can't wait to put in a full order to fulfill all of your rewards and share the decks with you!

Proof Decks Arrived!
Proofs look great!

Reading the Cards

A few folks have asked me about how interpret the Hanabi-shi Oracle cards. As with all oracle decks, you are always welcome to come up with your own interpretations, and I have also included card meanings in the pamphlets that come with the decks. Below are a few examples of the card interpretations included from each deck:
