Description

The MicroCosmic Oracle is a 60-card divination deck inspired by astrology, herbalism, folklore, science, and the ways that these systems are interconnected. The structure of the deck is based on astrology and how the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars express themselves in each of the twelve zodiac signs, and I depicted each of these using the symbolism of animals, plants, and geometry.

You can see more information about this project on the Kickstarter page where it was funded.
