About Oracle Decks
An oracle card deck is similar to a tarot deck, although there are no specific suits, names, or pre-requisites for what should be contained within the deck.About the Pathfinder Oracle
This deck draws its inspiration from the great National Parks and wilderness areas I've had the privilege to visit during work, including Arches, Zion, Great Sand Dunes, Joshua Tree, and Death Valley National Parks, the Mojave National Preserve, and a few othersThe idea for The Pathfinder Oracle Deck came to me while hiking in the desert, thinking about how some folks do tarot or card readings by also incorporating upside down cards as a reverse meaning and how it would be interesting to use all four sides of a square card as four separate, but related meanings of the card.

The Pathfinder Oracle deck is comprised of diamond shaped cards with symbols on each corner: a full moon ( Positive), a new moon (Negative), a crescent moon cradling a full moon (Active), and a crescent moon cradling a new moon (Passive).
The corner that is facing up when the card is drawn indicates which meaning the card takes on. Since each card has four meanings the Pathfinder Oracle comes with a guidebook to help with interpretations.
This guidebook is meant to serve as a suggestion rather than a definitive guide. The descriptions are to help you view your readings from a different perspective, not tell you what to do or how to feel. Think of it as an aggressively motivational friend rather than a map and compass.
