Seasons of the Witch - Litha Oracle
The Seasons of the Witch: Litha Oracle is a sabbat-specific oracle deck created by spiritual teacher and author Lorriane Anderson and award-winning bestselling author Juliet Diaz, with illustrations by Belgium-based artist Tijana Lukovic. Published by Rockpool Publishing (ISBN 9781922579768), the deck celebrates Midsummer and the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year, falling around June 21st. It is part of the bestselling Seasons of the Witch oracle series. The deck comes with a companion guidebook featuring custom spreads (including the Hydration Spread, Farmers' Market Spread, Insects Spread, Welcoming Summer Spread, and Money Magic Litha Cross Spread) and rituals designed for Litha practice. Juliet Diaz's work has been featured in Oprah Magazine, The Atlantic, Wired, and People Espanol, and she was awarded Outstanding Author of the Year and Outstanding Deck of the Year at the 2022 Witchies, Witchcraft, and Occult Media Awards.
Official Website →Art Style & Visual Character
Tijana Lukovic's illustrations make this the brightest deck in the Seasons of the Witch series by far, capturing the radiant peak of summer within each card. The palette features beautifully bright yet somehow soft colors — vibrant sun-drenched yellows, greens, and warm golds that evoke the fullness of midsummer light. The card backs feature a purple design with a pattern of four butterflies, and the shimmering purple foil edging is frequently praised as divine. Lukovic's whimsical, moody illustrations carry traces of folklore, mythology, and a deep love for nature, with earthy details rooted in the changing seasons and her inner world as she explores the forest of her childhood memories.
Core Concept & Symbolism
The 44 cards are designed to help readers rediscover their soul's natural wealth and awaken the ability to manifest heart's desires — themes perfectly aligned with the solar peak. Butterflies serve as the deck's repeating motif, symbolizing the transformative work involved in the transition from caterpillar to butterfly, highlighting how caterpillars melt themselves down to rebuild as something magnificent. Litha is traditionally the perfect time for money magick, growth, abundance, and happiness, and the deck's themes reflect this with cards like Lightworker, Sunbathing, Sun Magick, and Rewild. The symbolic framework centers on facing inner blocks and attracting more bounty and abundance.
Reading Experience
Reviewers describe this as an uplifting, empowering, and sunny deck that truly captures the spirit of the summer solstice. The bright and joyful energy makes it a standout in the series, with readers noting it feels like holding summer in their hands. The dual-reading approach — poetic card-face messages for quick intuitive draws plus detailed guidebook interpretations — is consistently well-received. The deck is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners, whether green witches reconnecting to the bounty of the earth or seekers looking for healing and expansion. Spirit Element and Healing Thru Tarot both praise the deck's ability to infuse readings with solar warmth and transformative energy.
