A Sneak Peak at 3 Pocket Oracle Decks That Will BE Featured in My 2024 Stocking Stuffers and Holiday Gift Guide for Tarot Lovers. I’ve got several new Hayhouse pocket decks that made my list this year! These are adorable small-sized cards that would fit perfectly in stockings! Heck – all of them would fit so why not gift them a few of these to play with on Christmas morning or on whatever holiday you celebrate.

The Rose Pocket Oracle $17.99 

The Rose Pocket Oracle is the newest deck released by Rebecca Campbell, the creator of some of my favorite oracle decks such as the Work Your Light Oracle and the Starseed Oracle, which I highly recommend for lightworkers who struggle with adjusting to the dense energies of this chaotic world. This pocket oracle was released in March 2024 and is perfect for the person in your life looking for guidance on their healing path or life path. It comes in a compact tin, making it perfect to slide into a purse or bag to take with you anywhere you roam.

The guidebook will help you to connect with the healing energy of the rose, which Campbell says is a secret symbol for the ancient Mother or Goddess. These cards help you tune into her energy and spiritual teachings, aiding you through sometimes rocky and unsettling transitional periods of your life. This deck also amplifies the whispers of your soul that call to you daily. Sometimes we are unable to hear those callings due to our busy, hectic schedules where we keep ourselves overprogrammed and overworked.

Working with this deck will allow you to connect more deeply with your purpose and help you seed what you incarnated to share with the world. If you know you came here with a plan but feel lost at the moment, I highly recommend any and all of Rebecca Campbell’s decks. They each have helped gently nudge me back on path when I’ve found myself drifting or momentarily in the dark, unable to see my way through the challenges I’ve faced.

Any of her decks would be gifts your loved one would appreciate! We all need help remembering just who we are and what we came here to accomplish. And her decks never fail to show us the way forward. If you’ve resonated with any of her creations in the past, I would urge you to give this new deck a look as well. Rebecca Campbell is one of those spiritual teachers that I long to hear from. Her voice and her teachings have been so instrumental in helping me align with my life path and nudge me into action to fulfill that purpose.

There’s just something special about the mystical teachings sprinkled throughout these cards as they reveal ancient secrets from times past that are vital to our awakening journeys now. Rebecca channels most of the messages that come through her decks, and I can attest that those messages almost always resonate with me and seem to speak to me at just the moment I need to hear those reassuring words.

This 44-card oracle deck opens the doorway to the physical and spiritual teachings of Mother Rose with activations included for each card in the guidebook. Speak these aloud to open these portals/pathways to your healing and awakening. We all need a little extra help to usher in more healing these days as most of us are clearing wounds from the past and shedding dense energies we are absorbing from others we interact with on a daily basis.

I also recommend Rebecca Campbell’s book, Letters to a Starseed: Messages and Activations for Remembering Who You Are and Why You Came Here

The Crystal Ball Pocket Oracle 

$9.99 released March 2023 

Do you struggle with yes or no questions with other oracles or tarot decks? If you do, then this teeny tiny pocket oracle is for you. It’s simple and to the point and will help offer you clarity when you need direction, guidance, and clear answers to those questions that can be hard to nail down with other decks.

“A teeny tiny pocket full of magic.”

Simply craft your question, hold it in your mind, set the intention to have that question answered clearly then begin to shuffle. Stop when your intuition nudges you or when a card jumps out of the deck. And there’s your answer.

This 13-card oracle is a great addition to any divination collection. I reach for this one when I need a straightforward answer – yes or no.

And with simple artwork, like a solitary owl, a crystal, a pocket watch, an hourglass, or an open book, the answers couldn’t be clearer. No complex images to decipher to wonder if you’re landing on the right message, which some beginning readers struggle with, especially with tarot cards that can include complex symbolic associations hidden in the cards. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the message meant for you at the moment, which is frustrating. But it couldn’t be easier with this pocket oracle.

There are some direct answers like Yes, No, Unlikely, Go, The Time is Right, Not the Right Time, Let Go, or This is the Sign.

But I love the different variations on the kinds of responses offered in this deck, giving us a clue if we are even going in the right direction or need to consider a new strategy or approach with cards like No Need to Worry, Reconsider, Choose a New Direction, or You’re Going in the Right Direction.

And the answer may not be a solid No. These cards offer you guidance on where to go from here and offers some hope that things could still go your way with a little effort on your part with cards like Get More Information or Listen to Your Intuition. I know when I receive a No from the cards sometimes my heart sinks. But this deck can offer some guidance on why it’s not the right time and how to proceed that doesn’t feel as much of a let down.

Give this petite oracle a try and see if you find more satisfaction in your yes/no questions. And it’s small enough to slip into a pocket of any bag to take with you on the go.

Just $9.99 which is a steal and the perfect price point for a stocking stuffer.

The Herbal Astrology Pocket Oracle $13.49

One of Hay House's top-selling decks now comes pocket-sized! This travel-sized edition of the Herbal Astrology Pocket Oracle by Adriana Ayales (Author) and Joséphine Klerks (Illustrator) was released June 2024 so you can now take it with you on the go to benefit from its insight anywhere, anytime.

This beautiful, naturalistic deck, comprised of 55 oracle cards would be the perfect stocking stuffer for your nature-loving friends and loved ones. These cards promote the ancient healing power of plants combined with the wisdom of astrology as these two worlds are blended for a truly powerful oracle. It’s alchemy at its finest, blending two ancient practices to boost the healing power each of those crafts bring to the table.

Pulling from the same wisdom that inspired the sages and shamans of the past, these cards impart these ancient healing traditions in an easily digestible format to offer us the benefits of working with each of the plants featured throughout the cards for divination and healing practices. As a lover of astrology as well as divination, I greatly appreciated the astrological correspondences given in combination with the plants featured on each card. This has been a welcomed tool to my healing collection and has already benefited me in my own healing journey and daily healing practices.

The guidebook provides the traditional uses, planetary correspondences, and the spiritual meaning behind each plant's energetic healing power to guide you on your healing path and to connect you to the natural world and your life purpose.

Perfect for anyone that spends their time in nature or wants to connect more to the plant world and to the planetary bodies that influence our daily lives.

And you know what I'm estactic about - I FINALLY have a deck that I can read with my gorgeous Pythia Botanica Oracle!!! These decks are STUNNING together and the second I had these cards in my hands, I knew it would make a perfect pairing! There are even some of the same herbs/flowers in each deck validating my instinct to use them together.

This series follows a group of women (witches, healers, diviners) who reincarnate lifetime after lifetime and reunite with their coven so they can fulfill a mission of keeping their craft of divination, healing, and magic alive for future generations. 

Book Blurb for Book 1: The Call of the Cards 

Alexandra Steele, a clinical psychologist, stumbles upon a mystical store in downtown, Memphis, TN, where she encounters tarot cards for the first time. She doesn't realize it at the time, but this simple encounter will leave her life forever changed as she uncovers a world of past life connections to the cards and the craft of divination. This sparks an awakening that opens door after door of a long line of mystic and witch incarnations that run throughout her history. As she reconnects to these deep mystical ties, she begins to learn about her destiny, which is revealed as she starts to encounter coven sisters and foes from previous incarnations. Will her tendency to hide in the shadows and play small continue to hold her back or will the call of the cards lure her onto her destined path of a life full of magic and sisterhood?

Readers are raving about the series like these 5 star amazon and google play reviews 

"Absolutely Unique! Resonated so much!" 

"Life-changing. I felt seen. I don't think I've had this experience with any other book."

“The metaphysical series I've been waiting for! I was hooked from the beginning and even found myself slowing down because I want it to last. The characters are so relatable and genuine, and the explanations of tarot readings and past life stories is spot on! I'm eagerly awaiting the next ones. Please please, Heather, keep writing.”
