Empathic Mirror · 123-card oracle deck and tarot companion
An abstract oracle deck, read by color and feeling
Each card in the Empathic Mirror is a close-up of one of Joline Renn’s abstract paintings. You read the colors and the feeling first, then the words.
Most cards print a direct answer: yes, no, maybe or unknown. So the painting gives you the feeling, and the card says it plainly.
How to read abstract cards
Look, then read, then find your word
The answer and keywords are printed right on each card, so you can start reading the day it arrives. Look at the painting, read the answer, then find the keyword that catches you.
When you want to go further, the guidebook takes you deeper into the cards. It rewards the reader who likes to learn.
More than the paintings
Three more layers in the deck
Zodiac signs point to timing. The chakra cards tell you where the energy is focused, so you know where to put your attention as you work with the reading. And the seven hermetic principles speak to the bigger pattern behind your question.
In the hand
Like a rose petal in your hands
The cards have a velvet touch finish: each one feels like a rose petal when you shuffle. The edges are matte black, so the stacked deck has the look of a dark scrying mirror.
It all lives in a rigid two-piece box with the guidebook on top.
