Seasons of the Witch Yule Oracle Review
by Lorraine Anderson & Juliet Diaz and Illustrated by Giada Rose
This deck features 44 beautiful emerald gilded cards accompanied by a 144-page guide book. They are categorized by number.
First off I’d love to say that I just adore these women who put this together, I would love to become best friends. These are my type of people, Lorraine owns Spirit Element, a wellness boutique. She has a decade of experience as a herbalist, aromatherapist, crystal healer and witchcraft practitioner.
Juliet is a healer, seer and also an herbalist. She holds a master of science in herbal medicine. She comes from a long line of witch healers from Cuba and has indigenous roots as a member of the Taino Tribe.
Giada was born in Italy and has lived all over the American West. Her work is focused on femininity and magic. She enjoys incorporating mythology, historical customs and folklore.
Amazing woman am I right? This deck really does soak up this season. Every card is different however you feel they all come from the same world. The color scheme ranges from vibrant ruby reds, glistening emerald greens to charcoal grey’s and midnight blacks. The artwork is very endearing. I would consider this deck at a very beginner friendly level.
That being said, the keywords are in the book but not on the cards. The blurbs written on the cards are pretty simple to decipher. My only complaint is that since it is a seasonal deck, I am probably only going to pull it out once a year and it would make things so much easier if the keywords were on the cards themselves. Reading professionally with clients in person, I’m less likely to pull this deck out just because clients pay by the minute and stopping to figure out the meanings just isn’t a luxury I have.
The spreads that they created with this deck are so fitting for the season. They created 7 spreads, two of those, I have found myself using often. Those being “The Evergreen Wreath” spread and “The New Year Ahead” spread.
I will be counting down to the Winter Solstice on Instagram so until the 21st, I will be drawing a card from this deck daily and sharing its messages.

I have been loving my evenings journaling with this deck and it looks absolutely stunning on my altar. The messages are super humbling and every card is a wonderful thought provoker. The card stock is sturdy and flexible so shuffling can still happen. I always notice most oracle cards seem very stiff, this deck doesn’t have that issue.
The packaging is beautiful; the inside of the box matches the backs of the deck. The box it comes with is sturdy and you can rest assured your beautiful cards will be safe. This is a must for storing, you won’t have to wrap your deck or find a bag for it. It fits perfectly on my bookcase with other decks.
I have and will definitely be recommending this deck to my friends. I hope my review encourages you to check it out for yourself and enjoy the journey it gives you.
You can purchase this deck from Just Witchy’s!

Happy is the new rich.
