Merry meet everyone, Today I am going to be talking about the Botanical inspirations deck that I got in the mystery box unboxing from Wychoils. Now looking at this deck its very vintage themed and I just love it. The flowers are beautifully pictured and just adds to the vibe theses cards give out. Now no were on these cards does it say what type of cards they are but I would like to say they are more likely to be oracle cards than anything else. I did get a information sheet included inside the deck which tells me what each flower represents which is helpful because it would be the blind leading the blind. On the whole theses cards are beautiful but there isn't much information about how to use them, what they can help with ect. Many of the decks I have gotten in the past has been to some degree helpful but theses seems to be a wild one were they want you to figure everything out yourself with the bare minimum of help. Personally for me I wouldn't of brought theses cards myself because there isn't much information that goes along with them. They are beautiful cards but without the helpful information they will just end up being sat in a draw somewhere until I work out how to use them for myself. I may even put them in a frame because the flora pictures are beautiful but that is the only thing going for theses cards at the moment. The is a card that has information about the Illustrator which I will include which may give us some idea about this deck. Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759 - 1840) "Was born to a Flemish family of decorative painters. As a young man he went to Paris, where he began painting the flowers of the royal gardens. His detailed etchings caught the attention of botanists who taught him more about the anatomy of plants and artists who introduced him to a new watercolour technique for illustrating flowers. Marie Antoinette hired Redoute to decorate the walls of her chateau. By the late 1790s Redoute had become the most famous and sought after flower painter in Europe. Empress Josephine invited him to come to chateau de Malmaison to paint the flowers in her magnificent garden, which held over 200 varieties of roses. Between 1817 and 1824 Redoute published a three -volume collection of his rose paintings called Les rose, his most famous publication. Since roses were Dedoute's trademark, we have included four of his rose painting in this botanical inspirations deck." So we know understand the art behind the cards but still not how to understand them but thats ok because we all know that we as witches can use cards to speak to us as we seek advice ect. I do believe if I spend enough time connecting with theses cards I will be able to use them effectively but then again I would of still of liked information about how to use theses cards. What do you all think about not having information with theses cards? You can let me know either on Facebook or Instagram @paganvibesonly. I will be slowing down my blog posts coming up to the Christmas and Yule season but I will still be active on theses platforms so do get in touch. I hope to see you all in the next blog post and please stay safe in theses strange times. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x
