I love these cards and the accompanying guidebook is the perfect mate. Each card is given a divinatory meaning as well as magickal correspondence, spells, and cultivation for the plant itself. This is a well-rounded deck that I think many people will benefit from.

My review of Cheralyn Darcey's Magickal Herb Oracle here, along with a Review of both Oracles combined!
An honest review by a pro Tarot Reader for 17 years ~
Many of us have been spending more time at home during COVID. As an avid traveler, this took some adjustment on my part, but I've cultivated a cozy, clean, organized, geeky, witchy home where I truly enjoy being.
I was drawn to the joyful vibe of the Green Witch Oracle. The pleasing recipe book aesthetic of this "botanical magick" deck reminds me of when I'm creating some delicious kitchen Magyc to nourish my family. I'm not a Green/Kitchen Witch, but an Eclectic who's slowly adopting more Herbalism into my Practice thanks to The Master Book of Herbalism and Druid Plant Oracle .
The main thing that immediately sets this deck apart from other botanical decks and books is it has plants actually I use, especially in cooking (finally, a deck with chili peppers pleases my Asian heart and stomach!). Most resources that feature plants focus mostly or solely on herbs, and have quite a few I've never heard of before, so it's difficult to imagine how to use them into my Practice. But this wonderful resource includes fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers!
The guidebook goes above and beyond, even including cultivation tips for each plant! I'm not great with growing and maintaining plants, just eating them, but this will greatly appeal to gardening Witches and Cartomancers!
Where the guidebook shines for me are the spells for each plant, which means there are a whopping 44 spells included in this tiny book, plus the Magycal correspondences to create your own!
Each guidebook entry contains:
Card number
Card name / Keyword
Plant name
Scientific name
Quote
Card meanings
Cultivation / How to grow
Magycal correspondences -
[Uses
Deities
Western Astrology]
Spell
Each card contains:
Card number
Color illustration
Alchemical symbol (Fire, Water, Air, or Earth)
Card name / Keyword
Plant name
Scientific name
Western Astrology symbol somewhere on the card
Other little doodles
Plant/Contents format:
Earth - Vegetables
Fire - Herbs
Water - Fruits
Air - Flowers
Even though the creator is Australian and references some Australian books (HUGE credit for including a bibliography!), I can easily obtain every plant here in North America, which makes this deck relevant to my Practice since I can perform the included Spells and make food/drinks out of them.
Reading with this deck feels good, refreshing, and joyful. There's definitely a positive quality to the cards and guidebook that emphasizes the things we can do to make our lives better, but it doesn't shy away from pointing out things like negative self-talk, lack of confidence, inaction, and other ways in which we inhibit and sabotage ourselves.
The Deity correspondences are mostly European, which is simply but unfortunately expected unless a publication specifies otherwise, but it does include a dozen or so African, Native American, South American, and Hindu Deities, plus Kwan Yin and a couple Japanese Deities for us East Asians.
Finally, the deck features great, laminated card stock that should survive time and kitchen messes!

I have connected with plants so much, perhaps since a very young age. I almost wanted to become a botanist. I am stunned by their beauty and magic. But most of the time, I just find them VERY cute -- the feeling is impeccable and I just feel like a child and making friends with them. I want to understand them so much and I love their simplicity (compared to animals and humans... meh).
