The Oracle of Giselle Flavie is a compact French divination oracle that blends bright imagery with concise guidance. The namesake deck lets seekers draw cards for daily reflection, honoring Marseille’s cartomancy legacy.
She first envisioned her signature deck in early-2000s Marseille. Released in 2002 by Publisher Trajectoire, the debut deck of 52 cards arrived with a pocket booklet written in language French. Collectors praised its silk-screened imagery and the author’s decision to keep production local. The oracle quickly travelled beyond Provence, yet the hand-lettered guide retained the playful tone that made her a sought-after reader.
The deck’s structure is elegant. Fifty-two pocket-size cards split into three thematic suits plus two wild cards:
A slim title band on each card pairs number, symbol, and a single keyword in French, allowing the deck to stay portable during daily draws. Each suit holds thirteen cards, and the two wild cards act as versatile signposts.
Readers favour three signature images when learning this deck. The Moonlit Bridge card channels flowing energy, urging safe passage. The Quill of Jade delivers swift messages, reminding the seeker that written intention matters. Finally, the Lantern of Salt carries distilled wisdom, showing how clarity emerges through patience. Together these cards reveal how Giselle Flavie wove French folklore into a practical system that still feels fresh and alive.
