The record
The objective review The Oracle of the Mermaids is a 45-card oracle deck created by Selina Fenech, the artist behind the Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle, in partnership with author Lucy Cavendish. Released by Australia-based Blue Angel Publishing in April 2013, this deck and guidebook box set invites the reader to explore divination through the enchanting underwater world of those mysterious and alluring creatures of the deep known as mermaids. The cards come in a sturdy box, measure 3 5/8 x 5 ½ inches and are printed on glossy card stock.

Each card is numbered at top-center, 1 through 45, just under the borderline, against a background colour that blends nicely with the image. Near the bottom is a keyword or short title in white uppercase, as well as a few meanings and/or b
