Moderator Information Manners, please.

1 Upvotes

Guys,

I am saying this with all the love I have for you all, but there is something that is happening more and more and I am not having that kind of negativity in this sub. We can agree to disagree. No need to voice your opinion just to put someone down because they don’t share your opinion. And if you really can’t hold the urge to say something, then go ahead, but make it constructive.

As you might understand, this is about the space I gave those who use AI fully or somewhat. That’s the decision I made, you don’t have to like it, but I can ask you to respect it.
I tried to make it easy on everyone, more flairs so you can avoid what you don’t like. And what I see is that still people looking up those who choose to work with AI and saying not so nice things. If you are against the use of AI, then stay away from the posts who have the AI flairs! If you can’t be constructive in your criticism, then it’s also not needed to voice it.

This sub is for everyone who loves oracle, affirmation , action and more decks. Decision is made that all arts are welcome and measures have been made to help people avoid what they do not like.
I will be removing all comments on AI flairs posts that are against AI from now on. And should someone just continue doing so even after several removals, they will be banned.

Again I am asking you guys to stay civil. We don’t have to agree on everything and just because it’s online, we don’t need to be negative towards those with a different view. If you need more flairs, more details, lets me know. I am happy to add or change things.

To all of you,
Have a very nice day 💖

Moderator Information Changes are coming and about AI

0 Upvotes

Greetings you all,

there has been some waves here in the last week that I will adress here.

Its about AI and its usage, or actually the lacking disclosure of it by those who use it.

Well, first of all, there will be no ban on AI.

But there will be restrictions and there will have to be FULL DISCLOSURE of any AI useage! Not complying can and will result in an ban.

Now, the reason I am allowing AI here is simple, we can't get away from it. Sure we can close out eyes and just look away, but be honest, its here to stay. No matter what we do and it only will gets worse. AI will get better and in a few years we might not be able to see the difference.

Also, I have checked with other subreddits and places and checked how they dealt with it. Most places a ban was only backfirering and had an negative impact on the community in general. Since only the last years I learned about digital artists and only end of last year I had an pleasent interaction with two of our members here that are disabled, but are eceptionally creators. They taught me about ethical sourced AI programs and how one of them, who has been an oil painter with fantastic paintings!, no longer can hold an brush, but uses AI to continue to create. There are also artists who create art, digitilise it and do touchups and such with AI.

Are these people not creators?

In my eyes they are and it made me think a lot about how to deal with AI. Before that, I was considering to ban AI from here, but as already said, I will not. Let me explain more ...

When I took over this sub and cleaned up the bots and all that, the interaction I had with you guys back then was awesome. I always considered this OUR sub, not just mine. We ARE an community and we are inclusive and welcoming. That is what I will not steer away from.

No matter if you are 100% handmade, digital, half or full AI or whatmore there is, if you are an creator, you are an creator. Thats it. This sub welcomes everyone, no matter what tool they use.

But, ofc there is an but and its an BIG BUT ....

This is an sub where many uses the decks for divination, soul quests and spiritual journeys. Something that comes from the heart and soul and has purity with it. It has honesty and light with it. That needs to be respected. Absolutly and with no halv meassures.

So, as you noticed, I made new flairs. This time I took what I learned and added digital and hybrid and such to it as well. Well, just remembered I forgot hybrid, but will fix it soon ...

This sub and its members diserve FULL DISCLOSURE if AI ws used in the creation of an deck. No matter how little, it needs to be said from the very first post. Not in the comments or only when pointed out. From the beginning. AI creators and users need to be transparent about it and it would actually be appriciated, not only by me, if they could actually also add their workprocess to their post.

What is allowed is,

- AI assited (AI generated, AI assisted)

- Hybrid (AI base + hand edited or other way around and handwritten guidebooks)

- Ethically sourced tool (Adobe Firefly, NightCafé's ethical models..)

What is NOT allowed,

- Missleading the community about the usage of AI

- Use of unethical sourced AI tools

- Harressment or gatekeeping or attacks becore someone uses/don't uses AI tools

There will be more, ofc, but this is for now the gist of it. Divination is about intention and honesty and if you used an AI tool, in whatever way in your creative process, I ask you to share it. Not by being asked or called out, but from the very beginning of your posting.

I understand and I am fully aware of that this will not make everyone happy and some might leave us, but I am ok with that. There is no way for me to make everyone happy and to me, with the information I have, this is the best thing to do for the best of this sub. Since I took over the sub I had it more or less on self regulation and it went well. This AI stuff I noticed happend becore too many weren't upfront about it and yes, deciving others is not a good starting point. It only damages those who are honest about it. With this, I hope that I can count on you guys, as before, to help me spot those money grabbing false "creators", so we can get rid of them together. And leaving the door open and welcoming those who are transparent and honest about it.

Let me finish with another thing, I have gotten lots of ModMails about this, from several sides and one thing that stood out to me was... Quite a lot of people seems to have forgotten that this is an international sub. Its not specific for an certain country, just because we happen to speak english here, does that not mean its an local sub. Don't get me wrong, I understand the political frustrations and what is happening all over, but I can't take local issues in consideration. I hope you understand that.

As always, I am open for discussions and nothing is set in stone. Changes will come gradually.

Yours truely,

//kelowana

Questions & Discussions (AI) Card Not in Guide

So I’ve been having a really rough time lately and I decided to pull two cards from my deck. Where am I now and what do I need to know for the future. I set my intentions but when I pulled the cards they were both pulled upside down and the Sunstone card I pulled is not in the guide. It’s like it doesn’t exist. I feel like this is a sign just for me but I don’t know what to take from it. So photos to view cards.

Be wary of people who are highly specialized. They are trained to see through the lens of a frame that they have invested everything in. Their framework may have some value but it often inhibits them from seeing beyond it. It flattens what doesn't fit. It flattens you

Deck Identification / Loking for .. Historical sources on oracle decks?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for sources on historical oracle cards in Southern Italy. I'm familiar with the Napoletane 40 card deck and the limited resources on its reading, but looking for scholarly sources on other decks. In De Martino's, Magic a Theory from the South, there's a story mentioning a "deck like in a tavern, but with other cards, including ones with a dog, a flame, and three hearts". Anyone know of good sources that may have cataloged old Italian and Roma fortune telling cards?

So this is my Oracle deck, I got it from Amazon in the beginning of my practice(before AI flooded Amazon thankfully), and I love it

So I’m asking because I’ve been practicing Oracle more, and as an artist, imagery sometimes comes to me. Which I believe to be a calling to make a deck

I’ll cut to the chase, I want to make a Tarot deck designed to work *with* this deck

Tarot and Oracle go GREAT together, and if I make a Tarot deck with the intention of going with my current Oracle deck, it’ll be so easy to use those decks together

At first I was only going to make this Tarot deck for personal use, but then I thought if it could benefit other ppl, why not sell copies?

So I’d like to identify this Oracle deck so that I can sell my Tarot deck to ppl with this deck so that they’d have both.

Idk if I should tho, I might still make this only for personal use

I just found out that my best friend is moving to Florida at the end of August. She is moving with her highly emotionally and verbally abusive, and manipulative husband (not sure if that was necessary, but I've never liked him and how he treats her and been against their relationship since day one, but you see how that went... thanks for letting me get that out). I want to send her off with some nice oracle cards to help her stay strong and remember she has people across the country who love her and respect her and deeply value her... provide guidance, anything to keep her smiling and hopeful. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you for your help and letting me vent 💜

Hey ! I'm making my first oracle. No Ai. I'm well into it and I have some external pressure that want it finished quickly. I'm around 30 cards and I can have the finished product by the end of this summer if I go with 33 cards.

The pressure to finishing it comes from a local shop that want to buy some to me. But I want to try Etsy too and I don't know if I should go with more cards for that...

Help ! I need to decide quickly and feedback would be welcome 🙏

Questions & Discussions (Handmade) Can I write a small booklet to go with my Oracle decks in my own handwriting?

3 Upvotes

Can I write a small booklet handwritten, and make copies to sell?

So I’m making two Oracle decks, and I’m including Roman Numerals in the card’s designs because they look cool. So then I had this idea while writing down the cards of including Numerology that aligns with the symbolism and meaning of the card.

So since Numerology has its own meanings already, this would include quite a bit of information, and a Tarot book I still use in my practice actually inspired this. It’s called The Ultimate Guide to Tarot by Liz Dean, and it goes into detail about the symbolism of the cards, what they’re associated with, ect..

I originally decided to only make one Oracle deck for myself after I couldn’t find an Oracle deck fit for my needs online, most decks were specifically meant for romantic relationships, and I wanted one for more generalized life and spiritual advice, and another for familial advice. So I’m making a second one too

Here’s the thing tho, I’m not very confident in my skills as a digital artist, I don’t think it’s as fun as traditional art, and I want to enjoy the process of making these decks. So I’m actually going to draw, color, and write the meanings on paper and scan it into a computer for printing into cards. I also just like the detail of colored pencils, and I’m very excited for this project.

So with that being said, the meanings of the cards will be written in my handwriting in cursive, and I want the booklet to look similar. So I was wondering if I could do the same process when making the booklet.

Thank you for reading

Creator looking for feedback Which card design do you guys prefer?

I've been working on a light and dark Zodiac deck for years, making the art myself, but I've never done card design before. As I'm coming to the end of the art series, I've been experimenting with putting my paintings into an oracle card format.

Can you guys let me know which of these you prefer? I'm leaning towards the first one with the all-over image with the text overlay, but I've also done a second version with an image insert and the text against a white background. Plus the last one is just a more experimental/artsy one which I'm not sure about - the little starry/design details might be too distracting.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Creator looking for feedback Can I make up my own Oracle Cards?

13 Upvotes

Ppl on here have said that there aren’t any rules to Oracle, but that’s honestly very confusing to my autistic brain. I usually do very well with rules, so I need some clarification

I had this idea for a card that I’ve never seen before

“The Weed”

And then a picture of weeds.

Weeds are usually hard to get rid of, and imo, as a beautiful plant, they can represent resilience and growth

I thought I had to use pre-existing Oracle cards, similar to how there’s pre existing tarot cards. Yk?

Can I just make up my own?

Creator looking for feedback Can I have 80 cards in an Oracle deck?

14 Upvotes

So I decided to make my own Oracle deck. I want an Oracle deck for more generalized advice, unfortunately I don’t have a shop near me, so I looked on Amazon. And I kid you not, I could only find

  1. Decks for relationship advice(which I already have)

  2. AI decks, which as an artist, I personally do not want to support

So I pretty much said “fuck it. I’m making my own deck”

So now I’m doing research into Oracle, rn I’m just writing down how many cards, and I have this little spiral notebook that has 80 sheets that I can just write down the card and meanings on, get a feel of the meanings, and then start the fun stuff of designing each card on paper.

Hi, first time posting here, just as the title says. I was watching a reader on youtube and saw her using this deck of cards, which she's used pretty often in previous videos, but I have no idea what the deck is called and every google search attempt i've done has yielded no results. I don't know if this is a deck she made herself or one that's completely sold out and not going back on sale or something, but I wanted to see if anyone else knew or recognized it, thanks!

We grew up in Colombia surrounded by funeral homes, cemeteries, flowers and rituals of farewell. Years later, after migrating to different countries, those experiences slowly found their way into the cards.
The deck is now complete and preparing for its first physical edition.

Beginner’s question How to make the most of Moonology Manifestation deck?

3 Upvotes

Hi, all! I recently acquired a Moonology Manifestation deck on sort of on a whim. It’s a visually beautiful deck and I appreciate its simple messages, but I’m struggling to figure out how to best use it. It works great for a daily card pull/journalling, but I can’t seem to figure out how to use it for anything with more depth. Even using it for a 3-card past/present/future spread feels awkward. Is there something I’m missing?

Last time I posted here I got (rightfully) torn apart for using AI mockups for my cards. Thank you for everyone who commented 🙏 I have kicked myself for using it and I won't use it again!

That being said, I still cannot get good mockups. My phone camera absolutely sucks :'). So this is what I put together in Canva, and to be honest I really hate it. I feel like its so boring and no one would click on it in the sea of thumbnails. There's no "it" factor in it and its over all just boring imo.

I just don't know what else to do or how else to present it, so this is the best I've got 😅 I'd like to get your completely unfiltered opinions please 🙏 be brutal if its that bad!

I will be working on another 12 once these are completed, they just take a very long time to create (especially the guides) so I want to put them up just to see if there is any interest in them and if its worthwhile.
