VOYNICH ORACLE AND TAROT
by Griffin Publishing
Theme: Botanical interpretations of the Voynich Manuscript for tarot and oracle readings
Medium: mixed media
A dual tarot and oracle deck set inspired by the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript, featuring botanical illustrations and unique card titles. The deck combines historical mystery with a focus on natural imagery.
About This Deck
The VOYNICH ORACLE AND TAROT is a dual deck system, drawing inspiration from the mysterious Voynich Manuscript, an unreadable medieval codex filled with botanical, astronomical, and human figures. This deck set translates the manuscript's enigmatic illustrations into a functional divination tool, offering both a tarot and an oracle component. The artwork directly references the manuscript's distinctive plant drawings, presenting them with a refined, antique aesthetic.
The tarot component appears to follow a traditional structure, as evidenced by the "WORLD" card, which is Major Arcana XXI. However, the suit names are adapted, with "ACE OF HERBS" visible, suggesting a botanical reinterpretation of the traditional Minor Arcana. The oracle component likely expands on these themes, providing additional insights through unique card titles like "ARCHITECT OF HERBS." The design maintains a consistent visual language across both decks, making them complementary for readings.
The overall presentation emphasizes a vintage, scholarly feel, with card backs featuring an intricate, symmetrical botanical design in muted tones against a dark background. The front of the cards uses a light, parchment-like background, allowing the detailed botanical illustrations to stand out. This deck set is designed for those who appreciate historical mysteries, botanical art, and a unique approach to divination.
