The Forest Witch Oracle ~ A Beautiful New Oracle Deck

[@LooseKarma]

If I could live in one deck it would be this one. I love it, the size, super rounded corners, simple yet effective backs, the amount of cards etc. Even the presentation of it all is great. You really get the sense you could just step into the cards, beautiful 💚🌿

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agree 💯%

[@jenniferestrada1285]

Me too, I would love to live there

Autumn should be made into a poster. Beautiful! A "cloot" is a cloth in Scotland, or a rag, ribbon. A cloot would be used to "dicht awa stour" (wipe away dust). What a lovely deck! ❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@DavidWilson-hd6iz oh that’s interesting to know. Thanks for the info, David!

[@MicheleAnnTarot]

I contacted the author about this to find out if it’s created using A.I. and he told me that yes, some of it is but not all of it 😕

[@outfromtheshadows]

This deck is right up my woodland path, it’s beautiful! I’m a bit late to the party but have been to their website and asked to be notified when they have some in stock.❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

Wonderful! It’s a great deck, I’m sure they’ll have more in stock soon 😍

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

What a lovely deck! Yes, you feel like you are drawn right into them.

[@naomihewitt7119]

Oh I really want this deck, its so relaxing. When funds permit I will treat myself. Thank you for sharing Simon 💚

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@naomihewitt7119 You should, it’s such a beauty.

[@zaharacelestial]

I went to the website to find out how the images were made or sourced and it says nothing. I am therefore wondering whether they are bought photos - photo montaged with computer - computer generated - and if there is A.I involved at all. It is getting increasingly hard to tell. I am surprised they don't say on the website....

[@OldManFerdiad]

I was looking for that information, too. If it is A.I. it's an automatic no for me.

[@oldwayscottage5651]

Some AI components. It's on the first page of the website.... copy and pasted...These cards are the finished product of 18 months of work. The cards have been created with a mixture of photography and digital art. Some AI has been used where actual photographs of objects couldn't be taken (like the forest fire) or digital art just didn't do the card justice. This tool has only been used where necessary to enhance the imagery of the cards.

[@DavidWilson-hd6iz]

@@zaharacelestial Good point!

[@OldManFerdiad]

@@oldwayscottage5651 thanks for this, helps me with my decision.

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@oldwayscottage5651Do you have a link as I can’t see it?

[@elineeugenie5224]

I'm sorry, i too got an immediate AI feel from this. Like other people said, it all just looks too perfect. And... Brambles aren't rosehips. It'd all be fine if it's acknowledged openly. I mean shouldn't it be okay to make use of the gazillion images that circulate on the net anyway? I've made my own funny, crazy, kinda special few cards using an image generator, it comes up with fun stuff sometimes. I'm not set out to profit from this kind of exercise but you might want to... As long as a) it's acknowledged and b) there's no ripping of other people's hard work. But how are we as consumers ever going to be able to tell???? I love that you love the forest so much Simon, so do i. Ever a forest out of digispace is irresistible 😅

[@luciev.7844]

Just ordered it 😉 Thanks for sharing Simon! So beautiful 🌳🍁🍄

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@luciev.7844 Enjoy ☺️

[@belindachambers7585]

That's exactly the question in my mind. Were all the photos taken in an actual beloved forest? I hope they were not just lifted off internet! Not too keen on the backs and they need edging but otherwise beauty!!! Anyone and anything that honours trees is ACE in my book! Hope I manage to get a first print ❤I 🌳 ps the gently rounded corners are perfection. Haven't seen any others so satisfyingly rounded.

[@Marilyns_Musings_and_Tarot]

This is such a gorgeous deck...so beautiful!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is! 🥰

[@DebbysWitchyVlog]

I enjoyed this, I hope you are having a wonderful Autumn 🍂 ❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you! You too! 😍

[@amandag2213]

I have this deck on the way and I can't wait for it to arrive! It looks stunning! 💖

[@the_hermits_cave]

Hope you enjoy it! 😍

[@GlindaDoll]

This is a gorgeous deck. It looks like it would be great for pathworking and meditation. 🙏❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@GlindaDoll Definitely 😍

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Beautiful work ❤

[@Witchofthewoodland]

This deck is everything I want in an Earth based oracle. Brilliant!

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@Witchofthewoodland I agree completely! 😍

[@TiconMagick]

What a beautiful deck, thanks for sharing Simon. I just order this and look forward to using it. I have a quick question. On the intro to this video there is a Samhain card in the right corner of your space. I know you have shown that deck before, but I can't for the life of me recall what deck that's from. If you have time and don't mind could you tell me the deck name, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks very much Simon.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Yes, absolutely. They are Sabbat Altar cards. Here’s the link ~ www.etsy.com/uk/listing/971512834/

[@TiconMagick]

@@the_hermits_cave Thanks very much Simon!

[@MellyLuna]

This deck is beautiful! Thanks for showing it. I’m also quite taken with one of your altar pieces. It’s the standing stones with the women in front of the stones. Can you tell me something about it, I.e. Who created it and if it’s a one of a kind piece or possibly available for purchase? Thank you. )O(

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@MellyLuna do you mean in the opening sequence?

[@MellyLuna]

Yes, it’s on the left in the third altar view in your opening sequence. Your opening sequence is just beautiful. 💚

[@SunshineDawn7]

I want this so bad but it would cost too much to get it in the USA. 😔It is so Beautiful and the book is Great! Enjoy Simon 🤗🤗🥰🥰🧡🧡

[@LouValcourt]

This looks like an AI deck. Does anyone know if it’s AI?

[@the_hermits_cave]

So apparently the creators have put on their website for the deck that it’s had AI enhancements. The deck took 18 months to create using photographs and digital art and then AI was used on some cards to enhance the images.

[@LouValcourt]

@ thanks for letting me know!

[@martys_musings]

​@@LouValcourt it's AI.
