Review : The Seed and Sickle Oracle by Fez Inkwright, Liminal 11 Editions



Today I'm talking about an oracle about plants created by Fez Inkwright ("Rosdottir) published by @Liminal11. (en français dans l'article suivant)

The author has already released 2 books on plants with Liminal11, including Botanical Curses and Poison which I reviewed here, and Folk Magic and Healing, which will be reviewed here soon.

We have here an oracle of 54 cards, presenting 52 plants, plus the cards of The Seed and the one of The Sickle. A lot of cards, and twice as many messages because there are two guidebooks: the dawn and the dusk ! In the guidebook of the dawn, we find messages about projects, active life... and in the guidebook of the dusk it is more about introspection. So you can either decide before the drawing if you want the message of the dawn or the dusk, or mix the cards so that some are upright and others upside down and decide which sense corresponds to which guidebook. You can also work without the guidebooks and just draw a card to see which plant you could work with.

Everything is classified by season in the booklet, which is in color and has a double page per plant and a small summary at the beginning with only 3 or 4 keywords per plant. The messages have various inspirations: sometimes legends, mythology, folklore, medicinal properties, botanical particularities... The plants are almost all plants that can be found very easily in Europe, and that's something I like a lot.

As for the format, the cards are easy to shuffle, not too big, matte finish and very pleasant to handle. The drawings are of course beautiful and the box with magnetic closure very original. 

Is it necessary to add that I really like this oracle?
