Wisdom of the Golden Path Oracle

A review by Caroline Centa

This deck has been created by Toni Carmine Salerno and Illustrated by Yuehui Tang. Toni Carmine Salerno is a world known artist and author who has explored many aspects of human nature, such as spirituality, healing and philosophy. Toni has created a number of Oracle decks, many which have been illustrated with his own art, however, after being inspired by Yuehui Tang’s work, created this Oracle Deck.

Yuehui Tang is a Chinese Freelance Illustrator, whose work has won awards and gained him much recognition. His artwork is very elegant and beautiful, representing human form in an inspiring manner, which works well with these cards. It is very easy to invoke emotions and connections to Yuehui Tang’s artwork, which is an asset to this oracle deck.

The Cards

The cards in this deck are a slightly larger cut of card, but still an easily manageable size – 94mm x 183mm (3.7′ x 7.2′) in dimensions.

The back of the cards are not very intensive, but offer a relaxing feel with the image of a lotus with golden tones throughout. The picture side, however, invokes a variety of colour and striking images.

It was the imagery on the cards that first attracted me to them, as they stood out from the rest of the Oracle decks on display in the shop, and this is the first Deck I have had to ‘have right there on the spot’. It was very easy to connect to the images and gain meaning/feeling from them.
