The deck will be available through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The campaign starts on May 1, 2024 and will run for 30 days. During this time period you can pre-order the deck.

If the Kickstarter doesn’t get funded, the deck will not go into print.

The recommended option to get the full experience as intended by the author is to buy the combined set of deck plus companion book. However, it is of course not necessary to buy the companion book in addition to the deck to have a usable product. The deck comes with its own guidebook (“little white booklet”) that contains divination messages and journal prompts for all cards.

Even though I would have preferred to publish the oracle deck and the companion book as a single merged product (a big box for the cards and a big guidebook containing all of the information) this option is financially impossible when trying to keep the end product(s) reasonably priced for the customer.

When asking my audience for feedback about the product concept, I learned that a lot of my customers don’t prefer big sized deck boxes for utility and storage reasons. A great number of people still wanted to buy a large guidebook though, so the decision to offer both a small packaged card deck and an optional big art book was made. One possible scenario to use both products is to take the deck with the small-sized guidebook on the road for quick readings, and to use the companion book for deeper workings in the home environment.

Making art of deities is a deeply spiritual practice for me that I experience not only as a technical drawing process but as ritualistic work.

There are countless interesting deities in cultures all around the world. However, as a woman of European descent, I feel like I can not connect to all of them on a deep enough level to represent them in a way that would do them justice. For this reason, I decided to limit this deck to European goddesses.

Even though the deck is composed solely of European deities, this does by no means imply that one has to be of European descent to use it. Diversity is one of paganism's strong suits, and it is my sincere belief that everyone who feels called to a certain deity has the right to connect with them in their own way – regardless of gender, ethnicity, or social background. The gifts of the goddesses are for everyone.

It is an impossible task to create a deck that includes every pagan goddess and satisfies every person's taste. The selection of goddesses in this deck was curated carefully with regards to available source material, the archetype system of the deck, and diversity in the context of this oracle.

No AI (“Artificial Intelligence”) was used in the creation of this deck. All illustrations, texts, layouts, and designs are created by me (Johanna Polle). The artwork was drawn by hand using an Apple-pencil and an iPad Pro. The layouting of the packaging, the cards, the book, and the booklet was done in Adobe Photoshop and Scribus. All photos used in the marketing material are taken by me, the author photo was taken by @kvitbjorn on Instagram.

The content of the deck, especially the companion book, is based on a healthy mix of sources. The companion book contains a dedicated chapter for every goddess of the deck. Each chapter includes a short introduction about the deity, which is based on primary sources, scholarly works, and historical records.

The personal messages (also included in the guidebook), as well as the selected correspondences and connection ideas, are anchored in source material (if possible), but are mostly based on the author’s, or other contemporary practitioner's, personal interpretations and experiences. All of the sources are listed in the bibliography in the companion book.
