The Oracle Tarot: Your Magical Guide to a Better Future
Lucy Cavendish created the Oracle
Tarot "out of the belief that modern
lives need a modern deck." Her bright,
colorful images are oriented toward
the concerns and interests of young
women. All the cards feature a woman,
even the Emperor. The major arcana
cards have traditional tarot names for
the most part with a few keyword
meanings. The exceptions are Change
(Death), Bondage (Devil) and Tradition
(Hierophant). Cavendish made these
changes to emphasize the creative
and positive in her deck. There are
no court cards, but the 40 minor cards
are still divided into four groups. These are easy to recognize as the four tarot suits, although they are not identified as such on the cards.
