The Happy Squirrel
So the Oracle of the Dreamtime arrived. Sigh. Two words: card stock I know the content of its learning will make up for it...
This is the old OOP one which I ordered from Amazon marketplace. The Rockpool more recent one by a different creator just arrived shortly after It takes them awhile and I am near by! I suspect Rockpool is selling direct and distributing to places like Amazon as well at the same time which may explain the slight slowness
Oracle of the Dreamtime is one of my favorite oracles to use on my blog.
The backstories are deep and the art is beautiful.

I've been watching the development of the Dreamtime Reading Cards
but lightning didn't strike twice for e. The first are based on Dreamtime and the only word on the card simply indicates the image shown. for instance Koala
The 2nd is keyword driven which to me makes it a garden variety oracle. Perhaps the book would make a difference, but Balance Beauty and Bare Feet makes me see this oracle is not deep enough to engage me like Oracle of the Dreamtime.
All that said, the Dreamtime images and stories are not part of my culture and I'd have a tough time reading for someone without referring to the book, never a good thing
Even if you do get through, $60 is pretty steep for this deck. I got a "Like New" copy from Amazon US for $41 AUD shipped. Try there, maybe?
e: I assume you're a Kiwi, so the shipping should be comparable.
I had the Oracle of the Dreamtime and I did not care for it AT ALL. Maybe I was being overly sensitive but it seemed like every card I drew was a major downer - stories of death, oppression and ecological exploitation. It didn't last longer than a week in my collection.
I do plan on purchasing the Rockpool deck. I enjoy Aboriginal artwork. I have the Aboriginal Goddess Chakra Oracle and enjoy that a lot. It's more of a multicultural deck, however.
