72 Names Cards

This one calls itself an oracle rather than a tarot, and the distinction is real: it is built around the Kabbalistic tradition of the seventy two names of God. Orna Ben-Shoshan supplies both the concept and the metaphysical artwork, self-publishing the result rather than placing it with a house. The names, a genuine body of tradition rather than an invented framework, form the deck's whole structure, standing in for the Major and Minor Arcana that organize most tarot decks. Working from a named religious tradition rather than an invented symbol set changes what a reader agrees to at the table, since interpretation answers to Kabbalistic sources first and the artwork second. Its stated purpose is spiritual guidance rather than fortune telling, tradition presented as tradition rather than prophecy. It suits readers with an existing interest in Kabbalah, and anyone drawn to oracle systems built on textual sources rather than illustrated archetypes. Readers wanting a standard structure will not find one here.
