L'Oracle Gé - Ge Oracle

Oracle Ge by Grimaud

Oracle Gé is a modern French oracle deck consisting of 61 cards. The deck was created by Gerard Barbier, and published by France Cartes in 1991.

This deck is absolutely beautiful. The card images were done in vibrant colored pencil, and the backs are black with gold concentric circles encasing a cursive letter “g.” The cards are taller and narrower than I expected, and they’re made of good quality, plastic-coated card stock. The deck includes an instruction booklet in French, English and German, outlining the individual card meanings and several different layouts.

If you’re familiar with Oracle Belline, the transition to Oracle Gé would be relatively easy since there are many similarities between the two decks. Although the symbolism of the Oracle Gé is unique, the meanings of those symbols will seem very familiar. The Belline is said to have been derived from the Lenormand Oracle, so it is not surprising that there are many similarities to that earlier deck as well. The cards of the Oracle Gé are read together in combinations much like the Lenormand and Belline. A few of the Oracle Gé cards are designed to be read both upright and reversed with modified meanings, although most of the cards are read upright only.

The feature that makes the Oracle Gé truly unique is the four cards corresponding to the four seasons of the year. The cards of the seasons are used to predict timing and duration, and can be read symbolically to denote weather, temperature, etc. Also the Gé features eight character cards to represent the various people in the querent’s life. There are the male and female consultant cards (as in the Lenormand and Belline), cards to represent a young man and young girl, cards to represent an adult man and adult woman, and finally, two cards to represent an elderly man and elderly woman.
