Gatsby Oracle

This gorgeous and unique card deck uses images of the actual text from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. Each card contains a snippet of text from the page and complimentary clip art that enhances the card's meaning and reflects the 1920s art deco theme.

The card box includes the "cast of characters" from the novel and is designed with an art deck black and gold pattern and clip art of champagne and palm leaves. Palm leaves and gold art deco designs also grace the back of the cards.

This 36-card oracle deck is a pocket or poker size deck size (2.5 x 3.5 inch) on 12pt 320gsm black-core matte card stock with a durable UV coating. The deck includes a matching tuck box that I designed.

The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published in 1925. It has endured as a cautionary tale warning against the excess of careless wealth and the dangers of living in the past. These cards explore the mystery, romance, hope, and sorrow of a classic American love story. Themes of power, wealth, love, betrayal, longing, kindness and cruelty weave through the text.

Though written a century ago, the messages in these cards still resonate today as much as ever, reflecting the circular nature of time.

The cards can be used to compliment tarot readings, used for daily guidance, as writing or journaling prompts, or even in the classroom to extend lessons about the novel.

There is no guidebook included as the best guide for this deck is the original novel, The Great Gatsby, upon which the deck is based.
