Custom Greek Oracle and Playing Card Decks with Guidebook
by Eva Pohler
Theme: Greek mythology with gods, goddesses, heroes, and monsters
Medium: mixed media
A custom oracle deck and playing card deck featuring Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and monsters, illustrated with a blend of photographic and digital art. Each deck includes a guidebook, with the oracle deck focusing on mythological figures and their associated concepts.
About This Deck
The Custom Greek Oracle and Playing Card Decks offer a dual approach to engaging with ancient Greek mythology. The oracle deck features deities like Themis, depicted with symbolic elements such as scales and a sword, alongside a keyword like "Balance." These cards are designed for divination, providing insights based on the attributes of the Greek pantheon. The accompanying playing card deck integrates these same mythological figures into a standard 52-card format, allowing for traditional card games while immersing players in the world of Greek legends.
Both decks share a distinctive aesthetic that combines photographic elements with digital illustration. The card backs feature a striking design with a tree of life motif within a crescent moon, set against a background of Greek key patterns in vibrant blue and purple gradients. This design is consistent across both the oracle and playing card decks, creating a cohesive visual experience. The oracle deck's guidebook is co-authored by Arnild Aldepolla and Eva Pohler, suggesting a collaborative effort in developing the interpretive content for the mythological figures.
The concept behind these decks is to allow users to "be your favorite deity," suggesting an interactive and immersive experience. While the oracle deck is clearly for divination, the playing card deck offers a more casual way to interact with the theme, making the mythology accessible to a broader audience. The blend of traditional Greek motifs with modern digital art techniques gives these decks a unique visual identity, appealing to those who appreciate both classical themes and contemporary design.
