THE ‘ AN UNIVERSAL ORACLE’ DECK
But the author’s discourse on this divination tool was just pages in a book. As is my usual wont, I looked at the system he outlined and said, ‘I can turn this into a card deck.’ And, Voila…
As you will see from looking over the PDF, I have left four blanks on the last sheet of the questions cards, and four blanks on the last sheet of the answers cards. I have done this so you can personalize your own deck with any further questions or potential answers you can think-up. Questions thirteen through eighteen were devised by me. I tried to phrase them in a style which fit in with the nature of the deck. I also hope they took into consideration areas of human endeavor to which people might reasonably want an answer. I have largely kept the original wording, because this is an antique divination tool, and if I was to re-word it in a more modern style, it would lose some of its charm.
Page 4 of the PDF was designed to be the card-back design for pages 1, 2, and 3. Page 9 was designed to be the card-back for pages 5, 6, 7, and 8. Of course, you can choose to forego this design and substitute one of your own. As always, I recommend spraying the cards front and back with acrylic sealer to keep the ink from smearing, and to make the cards easier to shuffle.
One other potential good use of this deck is as a verification deck–if your question will translate into a yes, no or maybe answer. I sometimes find it helpful to submit the same question to several different divination tools, a tactic I’ve previously called ‘layering.’ Layering can give you a more comprehensive and nuanced view of your situation or problem, leading to better decision-making.
