The Amulet Friends Oracle is a 77-card oracle deck by Holly Simple, featuring hand-inked, digitally colored artwork inspired by Southwestern aesthetics, traditional tattoo flash, and Buddhist deities. It comes with a mini guidebook and is housed in a custom two-part box with an orange velveteen bag.

About This Deck

The Amulet Friends Oracle is a 77-card deck created by artist Holly Simple, designed as a tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth. The deck's imagery is a direct response to the artist's experiences in New Mexico, drawing inspiration from the subdued Southwestern color palette, local street art in Taos and Santa Fe, and the desert's high vibrations. Each card features unique, hand-illustrated and digitally colored artwork, with animal characters serving as 'Amulet Friends' to guide the user.

The deck's name reflects its purpose: an amulet offers protection and comfort, and the animal 'friends' in the cards are intended to provide guidance and clarity, much like nature's messengers. The artwork also incorporates influences from traditional tattoo flash, Buddhist Deities, and vintage Prayer Cards, creating a distinctive visual language. The set includes a mini guidebook and is packaged in a durable custom two-part box, with the cards nestled in a luxe orange velveteen bag.

Holly Simple self-published this deck following the success of her previous tarot and oracle projects. The campaign emphasized making the deck accessible and affordable by ordering in bulk, funded through pre-orders. The artist's intention is for the Amulet Friends Oracle to foster a deeper connection to the divine and support individuals in their personal spiritual journeys, offering a visual tool for building awareness and awakening.

The Story Behind This Deck

Holly Simple is an artist who previously brought the "Holly Simple Tarot" and "Fuzzy Prism Oracle" decks to life through successful Kickstarter campaigns. The Amulet Friends Oracle is her third deck, born from a new wave of inspiration and soul lessons experienced during time spent in New Mexico. The designs were directly influenced by the subdued Southwestern color palette, local street art in Taos and Santa Fe, and the high vibrations of the desert lands. Her creative process involves hand-illustrating and inking each card before digitally coloring them, and she self-publishes her work.
