Green Glyphs Tarot:

Set of 78 cards with prismatic gold gilded edges in a custom blue box with a 120-page guidebook.

The Green Glyphs Tarot follows the meanings of the traditional Tarot system. For Tarot beginners, this is an excellent deck to start with as the cards are color-coded based on the presence of the card. Cards with a large presence of yellows and gold are generally uplifting and cards with orange are unfortunate. A Tarot deck is split into two parts: the major and minor arcana. The deck begins with the major arcana, a group of 22 cards that explore the fool's journey and the cyclical nature of life and when assembled side by side form a long panoramic image that links back to the start. The minor Arcana is comprised of 56 cards split into 4 different suits. Each suit tells a myth or story and takes the Reader on a journey as an additional aid in understanding the intricacies of each suit. -James

Green Glyphs Oracle:

Set of 50 cards with prismatic gold gilded edges (and prismatic gold accents on card faces) in a custom green box with an 80-page guidebook.

An Oracle deck is simply a deck of cards that deviates from the traditional systems of divination. Many of the cards in this deck came from my own universe of symbolism. For example, you will find many gazebos scattered throughout my work. I use gazebos as a symbol of celebration and appreciation for the present. In the other Green Glyphs decks, I use color as a key for understanding the impact of a card as either positive or unfortunate. I chose not to include color in this deck because I didn't want to impose any previous connotations on the imagery. -James

Green Glyphs Lenormand 2nd edition:

Set of 41 cards with prismatic gold gilded edges in a custom yellow box with an 80-page guidebook.

The Origins of Lenormand can be traced back to 1800. Lenormand is comprised of a set of 36 pictorial symbols that can be used to tell a story and offer insight into the future.

Green Glyphs Runes:

Set of 23 cards with prismatic gold gilded edges in a custom orange box with a 65-page guidebook and 4 runic dice. Check out our blog post for a closer look .

This deck is my take on the Elder Futhark Runes, an early Nordic system of divination that has been around for millennia. Typically, Runes are found in the form of stones, dice, talismans, or other objects with carvings. When I first started to learn about runes, I found it difficult to relate the Nordic symbol to the meaning. To help myself better understand the meanings behind each rune, I created this deck of cards. Each card has a runic symbol, the traditional name, and an image that encompasses the meaning behind the symbol. What is helpful with the Elder Futhark Runes is that the meanings are relatively simple. Each rune conveys a concept or feeling that was prevalent thousands of years ago and still remains relevant today. The included dice provide an alternative way to draw Runes in a reading. -James

Green Glyphs Glossary:

A 380-page hardcover book that covers the entire Green Glyphs collection.

The book includes all information in the four booklets as well as an additional section on using the collection as a mega hybrid deck. I created these four Decks with the intention of being used together. I made the backs of each card deck similar, so as not to draw cards with a bias. Pull specific cards that you gravitate towards and shuffle them into other decks. Mix and match to make your unique hybrid deck. The options are endless. -James
