My pre-order of Tess Whitehurst’s The Wild Witch Oracle hit my mailbox yesterday afternoon! I was super excited because I forgot I ordered it. I worked with it for most of the evening and y'all.. I love it! The moment I opened the gorgeous box, the aesthetic of the cards had me feeling like I stepped into a moonlit forest where powerful, magical women were waiting to meet me.


Inside the box are 44 cards, each one brought to life by the visionary artwork of Tammy Wampler. These aren’t just pretty pictures, they’re living archetypes. Faerie queens, mythic goddesses, cunning shapeshifters, fierce rebels, and even historical icons like Black Annis and Queen Victoria are all gathered here to lend guidance. There’s a sense that they’ve been walking alongside you for quite some time, and now they’re stepping forward to speak.


The guidebook is a treasure all on its own. At 160 full-color pages, it’s filled with deep meaning and practical insight that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Tess has a gift for weaving inspiration with action; I have always loved her writing and how it uplifts and empowers. Every card meaning not only stirs your spirit but also gives you something tangible to take into your day. Whether you’re looking for clarity, encouragement, or a little nudge back toward your own power, the guidance feels personal, like you’re being counseled by a wise friend who knows both your heart and your magic. Typical Tess!


What I especially love about this deck is the atmosphere it creates. It’s not just about pulling a card, it’s about stepping into a powerful moment. The tactile quality of the cards, the deep colors, the sturdy box, and the elegant layout of the guidebook all make the experience feel sacred. Even a quick daily draw feels like opening a portal into a more magical version of your own life. Card layouts are included to get you started, as is a short ritual to connect you with the deck.


The Wild Witch Oracle is perfect for seasoned card readers who want to deepen their connection to archetypal feminine energy, and it's just as welcoming for beginners who are dipping their toes into oracle work for the first time. The messages are accessible, but they also carry layers you can return to again and again. If your spirit is craving empowerment, beauty, and a deeper connection to your own wild wisdom, this deck is a wonderful ally. It will not only guide your readings, it will remind you of who you’ve always been: a witch of the wild, a keeper of your own magic, and a part of a timeless sisterhood.


I'm a big fan of this deck, lovelies. Do yourself a favor and invite the women of The Wild Witch Oracle into your life. You may find it quickly becomes one of your most cherished companion decks. It's certainly front and center on my magical shelf! If you do get this deck, come back and tell me how you like it, and be sure to leave Tess a review on Amazon!


Starry Blessings,
