Seasons of the Witch – Ostara Oracle
The Seasons of the Witch: Ostara Oracle is the final installment in the bestselling Seasons of the Witch oracle deck series, completing the full Wheel of the Year cycle. Created by Lorriane Anderson and Juliet Diaz with illustrations by Tijana Lukovic, it was published by Rockpool Publishing (ISBN 9781922785367). The deck channels the energy of the spring equinox — Ostara — symbolizing balance, renewal, and fresh starts. As the series capstone, it holds particular resonance for collectors who have followed the entire seasonal journey. The companion guidebook includes rituals, spreads, and practices aligned with the energy of the season, including a notable "Second Chance Spread."
Official Website →Art Style & Visual Character
Tijana Lukovic's illustrations embrace soft pastel hues and calming imagery that evoke the delicate emergence of spring — new shoots, flowering buds, and the gentle return of light after winter's darkness. The color palette leans into pinks, lavenders, pale greens, and soft blues, creating a tender, hopeful atmosphere distinct from the warmer tones of the summer and autumn sabbat decks. The cards feature elegant silver gilded edges (a departure from the gold and other metallic foils used in earlier installments), are slightly wide in standard oracle format, and have a sturdy feel with average thickness and weight. The overall production quality is consistent with the series' premium standard.
Core Concept & Symbolism
The 44 cards guide readers through themes of rebirth, new beginnings, and spiritual evolution — the core energies of the spring equinox, when day and night stand in perfect balance and the world awakens from winter dormancy. Each card is paired with powerful themes that speak to personal renewal, second chances, and awakening to one's own potential. The symbolic framework encompasses the balance between light and dark, the courage to begin again, and the gentle unfurling of new possibilities. Card face messages provide intuitive summaries that allow for quick readings, while the guidebook offers deeper interpretive layers.
Reading Experience
Reviewers from the Tarot Association of the British Isles (TABI), Healing Thru Tarot, and Spirit Element praise the deck's ability to deliver strikingly accurate and emotionally meaningful messages. One reviewer recounted using the Second Chance Spread to explore a rift in a close relationship and found the cards offered clarity, insight, and a sense of peace even when outcomes remained uncertain. The card-face sentence summaries allow quick intuitive grasp of meaning, while the guidebook provides helpful additional depth. As the series finale, the community celebrates how the Seasons of the Witch series has inspired thousands worldwide to create meaningful change within themselves and their communities. Reviewers note this deck works well not just during Ostara but year-round for themes of fresh starts and personal growth.
