Theme: Animal archetypes for young children
A 16-card oracle deck designed for very young children, featuring plastic cards and accompanying storybooks. Created by Melanny Henson, it aims to introduce intuitive concepts through animal imagery.
About This Deck
The Through the Wild Forest Oracle Deck is a unique 16-card oracle system specifically developed for toddlers and young children, as well as adults who appreciate a gentle approach to divination. Unlike traditional paper cards, this deck is made from durable PVC plastic, making it suitable for small hands and resistant to wear and tear. The deck is accompanied by two distinct books: a 16-page, 6x6 inch board book titled "Through the Wild Forest Storybook" for the youngest users, and a more comprehensive 32-page, 8.5x8.5 inch paperback "Animal Oracle Guide Book" for older children and adults.
The core concept revolves around animal archetypes, offering simple, accessible messages that can be understood by various age groups. The dual-book approach allows the deck to grow with a child, starting with a basic story and progressing to more detailed interpretations. This design reflects creator Melanny Henson's background in education and her interest in making spiritual tools approachable for different developmental stages. The small, square 2.5 x 2.5 inch cards are designed for easy handling by young children, emphasizing safety and durability.
