A hauntingly appealing oracle deck that connects us with our past and opens the potential of our future through our ancestor archetypes, or spirit guides.
Your collective family of ancestor archetypes awaits you in The Beloved Dead oracle. They will have a lot to say about your day-to-day interactions, interpersonal dynamics, and inner life. Ask the Beloved Dead a question and connect with consciousness that has left the land of form and now resides energetically as Spirit.
Every spirit in this deck is a bright star in the constellation that lights your soul’s enchanted path to the unlimited potential that is the future. These are the voices of your protective and guiding ancestors—spirit helpers who understand that there’s great work to be done every minute you spend on this side of the veil. At times, The Beloved Dead oracle cards will represent a specific soul, living or in spirit; at other times they may convey an experience, memory, event, or outlook, and always deliver a message related to the context of your question.
This deluxe set contains an 81-card deck and 144-page full-color guidebook.

Ways to use it
What Is the Beloved Dead Used For?
-
A gentle start
An oracle deck has no fixed structure to learn, so it's an easy way in when tarot's 78 cards feel like too much right now. -
A daily pull
Draw one card in the morning and notice how it shows up over the day. -
Full spreads
Lay out a spread, such as past, present and future, when you want the bigger picture. -
Reading for others
Read for friends and family. -
Quick answers
Pull a single card for a yes or no, or a fast read on a question. -
Journaling
Write about the card you drew: what you see in it, and what it brings up. -
Meditating on a card
Set one card where you can see it and let its imagery hold your attention. -
Altar and spellwork
Stand a card on your altar as the focus of a working, so its symbolism points your thinking where you want your life to go. -
Holiday readings
Do a reading for a sabbat, a birthday or the new year. -
With a pendulum
If you're not sure how you're reading a card, hold a pendulum over it to check. -
Paired with another deck
Pull a card from this deck alongside a tarot spread for extra context. -
Who it suits
It suits beginners and art lovers, and it makes a good gift. -
A new deck
Cleanse it, go through the cards one at a time so you get used to each other, then spread the cards face down on a favorite surface and swirl them together like a lake. Every card gets turned every which way, so the deck starts out well mixed. Our guide to reading tarot walks through your first reading. -
Storage
Keep the cards stacked neatly in their box or a bag. A crystal on top is a nice touch.
