This post is the second part of a review that was posted yesterday, in which I reviewed the Limited Edition of the White Numen Tarot, created by by Alba Ballesta González, published by Liminal 11. But lo and behold, one review wasn’t enough! In fact, this is one of the most special limited editions I have ever seen, as one of its perks is the inclusion of another whole deck.Yes, you read that right. The Golden Constellation Oracle is a 31-card deck that is exclusive to this edition of the White Numen Tarot. It cannot be bought separately, and what is more, it won’t ever be reprinted once this edition sells out. While the lineart is done in the same style as the White Numen (and hence, they are totally compatible), the Golden Constellation deck is done on a limited palette of white, black and gold (metallic, but not foiled). On top of that, it is a square deck! Just as the White Numen Tarot explores the earliest human depictions of animal spirits on cave walls, the Golden Constellation Oracle leaps forward in history to the time when our animal-gods moved from inside our caves to up in the sky. By featuring artistic renditions of constellations like Aquarius, the Crane, Andromeda or Canis Major, this deck builds a bridge upwards, to the celestial sphere.The deck comes with its own hardcover companion booklet and a sturdy cigar box. You can see how the boxes and cards compare in the pictures above - where you can also see the backs, which feature a foiled star design! I think a great idea is to combine both decks in a 1:1 reading (picking one card from each), or in 1:2 - 2:1 readings (picking one card from one deck and two from the other), and see how their energies interplay. Though they are created by the same person, both the thematic and artistic choices make them unique and radically different from each other.The Golden Constellation Oracle shouldn’t be seen as a companion deck, but as an entity of its own, with different vibes and looks to those of the White Numen. And I will repeat some of what I said yesterday: Alba Ballesta González creates beautiful artwork with lots of personality which truly does what it aims: building bridges. Again, this is a limited edition in that I can only recommend, local pride aside, if only for the addition of one whole extra deck (but remember all the goodies included in the edition which you can check in yesterday’s review).
