⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is going to be a somewhat in-depth review of the Amenti oracle from my perspective of what I've experienced so far. Keep in mind I've only had the deck for about a day but I find it important to get to know my deck and build a connection with it (if there is one) as soon as possible. I received the cards today along with a few others I bought as a treat to myself. My specific box had a small dent and I was a little nervous because of this. Luckily all of the cards are in place and it could have just happened in transit. The packaging is very modern and minimalist and is perfect for the modern oracle reader in you.

When opening the box which oh my goodness let me just tell you how beautiful the packaging is on the inside. It's worth it alone. You can tell they put a lot of work into the design of every detail including the deck itself. The first thing I did being an active reader and loving to read was take out the guide book and delve into the first few pages that normally introduce you to the deck, who the creator of the deck is, their experience, and then some spreads you can use for yourself. I beforehand knew a little bit about the past Egyptians so I found the beginning pages very enjoyable and insightful. I also learned some new things I didn't know about past Egyptian culture. Learning about the creator's experience with both Tarot and Oracle is insightful on its own as you learn others' experiences. I love the detailed descriptions and the quotes everywhere explaining different cards and the information that is conveyed. I even found my new favorite quote. Who would've thought I'd find it in an Oracle guide book. For just the book alone this is worth the price the guide book could be sold alone and it would be just as worth the price as the cards. For $18 you can't beat it. The normal pricing of this deck is $28 so there is a significant price difference for it and I feel it is completely worth it. Like I said the book itself is worth the price alone, there is so much in it and you can tell the work that was put in to make it as intuitive as possible for anyone to understand and enjoy the content inside.

Now after fangirling about the book and the packaging I'll discuss the actual cards. I love the minimalistic idea of these cards. By modern, I feel that's explaining the minimalistic aspect. the art is gorgeous as minimal as it is for some reason my brain automatically clicked with these cards. I've always been super creative but I connected instantly with the art on every card while flipping through them for about an hour to acquaint myself with them. There is so much described in the art even though the art seems so simple. I feel like this isn't a deck for everyone this is definitely for empaths or individuals with high intuition. I feel those are the individuals that will get the most out of these cards. However, there are symbols that can mean various meanings if you're really willing to delve into the artwork and not just the bottom of the cards. The small I'm going to say "notes" on the bottom of Oracle cards are nice to give you a starting point. But it was extremely simplistic I feel this deck is more left to the imagination. They guide you in the right direction but don't give a description that I can deliver insight with. I see myself finding the answers through the art regarding situations which is perfectly fine. I prefer that and I use Oracle cards more through the visuals than the writing on the bottom so this wasn't a huge issue for me. I don't normally look at the words at the bottom anyway I gain my insight and visions through the art of the card as I explained. As minimalistic as the art is it's gorgeous it leaves a lot of room for the imagination to explore and connect with every card on a deeply personal level.

Overall, in my opinion I feel this deck is good for everyone if you read the guidebook that comes with it. If you're just jumping right into the cards as a beginner I feel there might be a struggle. I love the modern minimalistic design of the cards. And the book has a ton of information for everyone to enjoy you might even learn something new. The packaging though mine was dented overall was lovely and I love the packaging. The cards leave a lot of room for the imagination and I'm not a huge fan of the writing beneath the cards as I feel it doesn't really guide the reading like some of my other Oracle decks. But nonetheless, this is a great deck for collectors and readers alike. I highly recommend this deck for anyone but feel those with higher intuition and empaths will enjoy the deck more. If you're looking for a modern-day deck with an Egyptian flair. I 5/5 recommend it. Thank you for reading!
