Sacred Signs Oracle Deck

Elements, directions and energies

Every card carries three markers. Ayana and Astaran added them intuitively, because they speak directly to the energy and effect of each sign. When they counted afterwards, the elements and the energies turned out to be balanced across the deck.

North, East, South and West lie on the wheel. Above, Center and Below form the axis through it.
