Great selection for my personal use, colorful great art detail.

amazing art work and the interpretations are very well written

You can tell that the sacred forest oracle was a labour of love. The setting of an enchanted forest gives you the feel of a journey. The artist was able to capture the atmosphere and magic of this world. Each animal, location or person you meet is like an archetype with a message. I'm finding it to be easy to read and accurate for me. The guidebook is beautifully written and draws you into the world Denise has created.The cards have a silky semi matt-finish and the box is just stunning. My only suggestion is to the publisher, please bring back gilded decks. Gold would have worked well here. If you like your oracles to have some kind of narrative and you like the magical artwork, then buy it!

Very happy with these cards. I love the artwork and quality is good.

I cannot express how this deck touched my soul from the start. This is my first deck of Oracle cards, they arrived yesterday. I had such an emotional dream last night, and I did my first reading when I woke up from it to gain some beautiful insight and understanding to it...and I was amazed...there simply aren't words to describe my complete awe, not only with the beauty of this deck, but the peace and guidance it can offer you in more ways than you can imagine.

This is a beautifully crafted oracle deck, both the artwork, imagination and messaging is stunning, feels very authentic and is great card stock. However, some of the messaging felt very familiar, so I checked her earlier deck (Sacred Destiny Oracle, 2019, from Hay House also), and found 23 cards with the exact same messaging. Added to that, a further 6 or 7 cards are very similar/near identical (e.g. 'Chaos' in Sacred Forest vs 'Healing Chaos' in Destiny). I'm giving Forest 4 stars because of this only, otherwise it would get 5 - more a slight on the publisher perhaps than the creator...who knows?! And if I were to recommend one of the two, I would recommend this one. It feels more authentic, clearer in its messaging (between words and artwork) and less repetitive than Destiny.
