The Earth Speaks Oracle Deck and Guidebook Set

Each card represents a natural phenomenon or seasonal milestone, and seeks to communicate the messages of these moments to help us orient toward our lived experiences with greater understanding, compassion, and reverence.

The cards are informed by the celestial cycles. Each solstice, equinox, and cross-quarter day are represented.

Created by Monica Basile, PhD, artist, midwife, bodyworker.

The artwork for each original image was hand-sketched and then created as an ink engraving on clayboard, featuring flowing lines and fine details.

Each card in The Earth Speaks Oracle has a unique image and a message of encouragement for a particular area of life. It can be used as part of your spiritual or intuitive practice, or simply for fun and inspiration.

A common way to use an oracle deck is to enter into a quiet, prayerful, or meditative state, and pull a card from the deck for insight. Let the cards speak to you through your intuitive interpretations, or use the written guidebook for additional support.

Cards are large (3.5 x 5.75 in.) and printed on eco-friendly herb-infused deluxe cardstock. They have a lovely natural brown tint with visible fibers. Cards are smooth and shuffle easily.

The deck’s imagery is based on seasonal cycles within the author’s midwestern bioregion, and each card’s guidance ties specific natural phenomena to universal themes.

The guidebook contains wise and compassionate reflections to accompany each card, drawing on Monica’s background in earth-based spirituality, and her gentle approach to encouraging lovingkindness toward self, others, and the living world.
