May 2021: BEWARE OF SCAMS. This is the only Etsy shop where The Wooden Tarot, The Earthbound Oracle, The Pathfinder Oracle, and The Seeker's Lenormand are sold.
The Earthbound Oracle is an independently published divination deck. The full deck was completed in 2015. It's completion and initial printing was funded through the help of Kickstarter backers.
I created this oracle deck to be a spiritual sequel to The Wooden Tarot. It will contain familiar concepts, imagery, and symbolism; however, this deck will be much more practical, down to earth, and will be much easier to derive meanings and answers from. I focused on simple, pithy subjects and symbols that are easy to understand, but flexible enough to have multiple meanings and interpretations. This is not a deck that you'll need to do a lot of research or homework on, though some of the symbols are distinctly Western (such as "gift" and "deceit", for example).

What is an Oracle Deck?
☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽
An oracle card deck is similar to a tarot deck, although there are no suits, no names, and no pre-requisites for what should be contained in the deck. It's a deck of cards with illustrations, titles, and that's it. You interpret it and derive meaning from the cards you draw as you see fit.

Finding guidance with no Guidebook

As I mentioned, there is no companion booklet or guide for this deck. It is meant to be used intuitively.
There's a Facebook group dedicated to learning the Wooden Tarot deck. Sometimes they will also discuss the Earthbound Oracle:

* I try to keep from running out of all of my divination decks, but sometime things happen. If a deck is sold out, it's only temporary.
