One Deck Drawing Loosely on Three Older Systems
Wisdom of the Oracle Divination Cards is a fifty two card deck Colette Baron-Reid created with artwork by Jena Dellagrottaglia, published by Hay House in 2016. Its guidebook draws loosely on tarot, the I Ching and Norse runes among other divination systems, while presenting its own independent, non traditional symbol set rather than adapting any one of those systems directly onto its fifty two cards. That borrowing without direct adaptation distinguishes it from tarot influenced oracle decks that keep a recognizable major and minor arcana structure, and from Baron-Reid's own Spirit Animal Oracle and Enchanted Map Oracle Cards, which build their organizing systems from a single theme, animals or a symbolic landscape, rather than drawing across several older traditions at once.
Designed to be read either upright or reversed, the deck continues the intuitive, narrative reading style that runs through Baron-Reid's wider catalogue. Referencing tarot, the I Ching and runes within a single guidebook, without adopting any of their specific structures, situates Wisdom of the Oracle within a common pattern in modern oracle publishing, treating older divination systems as a shared cultural reference point for a new, non traditional deck rather than as a source to be reproduced card for card.
