About the project
We are a team of 46 writers, poets and artists, and together we’ve created an oracle deck of 45 cards, each one paired with its own divinatory text.We worked on the symbolic elements surrounding each character to create both the illustration and an open‑ended divinatory text for every card.Each of them features a portrait of a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, accompanied by botanical and animal elements that deepen the symbolism and meaning of the card.The deck features the following characters:· Church of Seiros
Byleth, Seteth, Rhea, Flayn, Jeralt, Sitri, Manuela, Hanneman, Gilbert, Alois, Cyril, Catherine, Shamir, Jeritza, Sothis, Arval and Shez.· Blue Lions
Dimitri, Dedue, Ingrid, Felix, Sylvain, Ashe, Annette and Mercedes.· Golden Deers
Claude, Hilda, Raphael, Ignatz, Marianne, Leonie, Lorenz and Lysithea.· Black Eagles
Edelgard, Hubert, Ferdinand, Dorothea, Bernadetta, Petra, Linhardt and Caspar.· Ashen Wolves
Yuri, Balthus, Hapi and Constance.This project is an entirely DIY project.There’s no formal production, and the mods aren’t involved in handling any finances.
What's an Oracle deck?
An Oracle deck is very similar to a Tarot deck.It serves as a divinatory instrument used in rituals or reflexive readings.
Each card carries a symbolic meaning. The narrative develops based on the interpretation of the cards drawn.Unlike traditional Tarot readings, which follow the 22 Major Arcana, Oracle decks frequently have flexible structures and themes that allow for more individualised storytelling in readings.The nature of this deck is to play with the symbolism of animals and plants, matching the personality of each FE3H character.
How does this work?
How can I get my Divine Pathways Oracle Deck?Those who wish to receive a Divine Pathways Oracle Deck during the Countdown period must email us proof of a donation of at least
5 GBP/ 7 USD/6 EUR or equivalent to a charity of their choice to us:[email protected]In exchange, they will receive a digital copy of the deck via email after our Countdown period is complete, ready to print, cut, and put together at home.Those who'd like to get an oracle deck have the moral responsibility to choose their own charity of interest.The Oracle project will not be responsible for those donations. Other organisations, such as AO3, The Internet Archive, local shelters and local communities that take donations are valid too.Charities whose missions conflict with human rights, environmental protection, or animal welfare will not be considered and will be reported.
