Madam Juss’s Aware Wolf Oracle

Madam Juss’s Aware Wolf Oracle is a 40-card divination deck that infuses "werewolfery" into cartomancy. Created by Juss Stinson, the deck is intended for a range of reading needs, from serene introspection to navigating turbulent situations. The campaign emphasizes the transformative nature of werewolves, linking it to the "shift happens" philosophy of life.

The deck's artwork, initially prone to darkening during printing, was adjusted to include "pops of crazy color" to ensure vibrancy. The cards are printed on light linen stock with a UV gloss coating, designed for durability and frequent use by "card slingers." This attention to color and material quality aims to provide a visually engaging and long-lasting tool for divination.

Launched in 2019, the deck successfully funded on Kickstarter, reaching 13 backers. It includes a tuck box and was released with an official date of August 28th, 2019. The creator, Juss Stinson, also celebrated her 28th birthday and 15th anniversary as a divination practitioner on the release date, adding a personal touch to the project.

This deck is suitable for oracle readers who enjoy mythological or fantasy themes, specifically those with an interest in werewolves or shapeshifting symbolism. It appeals to individuals seeking a divination tool that can address both challenging and tranquil life phases. Readers who appreciate unique, character-driven artwork and a vibrant color palette will find this deck engaging.
