1st Edition of the Witch's Oracle.


I have been enjoying the first edition of The Witch's Oracle for years.  So, I was excited to see the second edition show up on my doorstep. This deck is available now.

I took a picture of both editions using the same card from each deck to show the difference. The images are all the same but in edition two they have bled the image off the side of the card. This is a popular trend in card decks these days. The first edition has a big black border with the photo inset inside it.

The box is bigger in the second edition with the witch image that was on the cover of the guide in version one printed on the box lid. I am not sure why the trend is to make the packaging and boxes bigger and bigger. I am a collector of decks both tarot and oracle and the bigger boxes make it harder to store my collection and see what all I do have. I know back in the day all we received in a deck was a little white booklet. And I do appreciate the books provided by authors. They are amazing. This particular one is in full color and even though the directions are sparse, There is just enough to intuitively get the meaning and read the story of the spread.

These cards fit well in my hand and as a woman, some of the bigger decks are just so hard to shuffle. I am sure a male might want a bigger deck to fit into their obviously bigger hands. It's all an opinion when it comes down to it. 

I am loving this deck and really appreciate the theme of the cards. It is an especially good deck for the Halloween season you can pair with your darker halloween decks.

Overall, I love it. You should check it out and decide for yourself.
