The Earth Speaks Oracle Deck
Tune in to the earth, tune in to yourself.
The Earth Speaks Oracle Deck reflects the seasons and the wheel of the year.
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.
Written & illustrated with care & sensitivity
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.
Deepen your connection to the natural world
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.
For beginners and experienced readers alike
Those new to oracle decks will find these cards to be very approachable. There are no “bad” cards in the deck, and no complicated systems of symbology to get lost in. Each card’s guidance contains 3 elements: a simple message, an invitation to explore the meaning of the card’s imagery further, and an affirmation.
Those who are more experienced with various types of oracle and tarot decks will find the grounded, seasonal symbology of this deck to be a gentle and powerful tool for self-reflection and for understanding oneself as always and already one with nature.
Nature-based & eco-friendly
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.
“I've followed Monica on Instagram for a long time, because I love her precise, detailed botanical drawings and her wise, perceptive approach to everything she makes. I couldn't wait to buy this deck and it's even more beautiful and wise than I expected.
The cards are large, but the deck itself is small enough to make shuffling and handling them easy. It's very in-tune with the natural world, with no reductive platitudes or too-easy insights. I love it so much I bought one extra for my bff.”
