How do you know which set to choose – blessings cards or oracle cards?
You can’t really make a ‘wrong’ decision here. Both are beautiful ways to connect to the sea’s wisdom. So trust the sea to guide you towards whichever will offer you the ocean flow you need right now.
You can use either set of cards to pause and connect to the sea at any time. They both work beautifully as prompts for journaling or discussions, or to set a theme for a special event. You can also combine the Sea Soul Blessings cards and Sea Soul Journeys Oracle cards for a more deeply layered reading.
Both cards are inspired by the sea’s wisdom, and explore the same 48 ocean qualities and messages – but they do this in different ways…
Sea Soul Blessings – the original gift set
The original Sea Soul Blessings cards are insightful little blessing cards rooted in simplicity and clarity.
Each card shares a simple but powerful image of the stairs into the sea, coupled with a gentle ocean blessing. The image and words direct your focus and inspire you forward.
The individual cards are small enough to fit into your pocket or to take to the beach in a handy tube.
Slip one into your purse or phone case to carry the sea with you each day, or use the display case to remind yourself of your chosen cards at home.
Each Sea Soul Blessings card is a clear compassionate reminder to take some peaceful time for yourself, to connect to a particular ocean quality, and to speak to yourself with kindness. They are our original best-selling product. As the seed that grew into the Sea Soul Blessings business, they carry the fresh energetic quality of a sunrise swim.
These cards are entirely plastic-free, made in the UK, and printed via Sea Soul Blessings in small batches (which makes the cost a little higher). You can purchase the cards and book separately.
Sea Soul Journeys Oracle Cards
The Sea Soul Journeys Oracle Cards are evocative oracle cards that take you deeper into the sea’s magic.
These larger cards feature beautiful images of the ocean, offering another layer of the sea’s magic to explore.
They also feature new compassionate ocean mantras that connect you to the healing magic of the sea.
Sorted into four ocean themes, (Self-Compassion, Letting Go, Moving Forward, and Gratitude and Awe), the oracle cards also offer you four guided journeys that lead you through the four ocean themes, card by card.
Use these oracle cards for intuitive ocean readings, to visually awaken your ‘Blue Mind’, and deepen your meditation practice. These cards offer an expansive and powerful unfolding of the journey, a deeper dive into the ocean’s guidance and your own inner knowing.
They are published by Welbeck Balance, and are not made in the UK, but are printed on FSC stock. While we’ve avoided shrink-wrap, they do have a small amount of plastic (two small stickers that hold the box together).
Blessing cards or oracle cards?
What if you already have the Sea Soul Blessings cards, what do the Oracle Cards add?
Like me, you may already love using the simple little blessings from the Sea Soul Blessings gift set to guide, inspire and soothe you. If so, many of the messages in the guidebook for the Sea Soul Journeys Oracle Cards will be familiar. But much will also be deliciously different…
Creating this deck has allowed me to revisit the magic of the original Sea Soul Blessings cards – with years of lived experience of using these. So each oracle card in this deck offers you a chance to connect to the sea afresh. And to explore the sea’s messages in a new way.
The four themes offer us new layers to explore – if you draw three cards, is there a general theme to your reading? And the ‘Sea Soul Journeys’ offer routes to navigate more consciously through the cards. You could choose to explore cards that will support you to make progress towards a goal. Or cards that will encourage you to be kinder to yourself. You might use the cards to release something you no longer want to hold on to. Or to boost your wellbeing by inviting the qualities of wonder and thankfulness into your life
What’s new in the guidebook?
The Sea Soul Blessings guidebook explored my own journey into the ocean, and how those messages first arrived. While in the Oracle Cards guidebook, I’ve been able to share lots of new thoughts on ways you might like to explore those messages and use your cards. For example, I share more ways to develop a regular Sea Soul practice, or to use these oracle cards to boost your mood and wellbeing – bringing the sea into other activities that you love. I also explain ways to use them to connect more deeply to your intuition and explore your own ocean readings.
Let the sea guide you – how does it want to speak to you? And how would you like to receive its wisdom?
