The Empyrean
The amazing creators at The Threads of Fate have knocked it out of the park with this one. Carrying their beautiful, deep, meaningful aesthetic into the realm of lenticular printing - creating an indie deck of oracle cards that contain two separate images which show separately when you move the card.
Putting aside the visual feast that these cards provide, the concept for each card created is just divine. Dig deep into the meanings with the brilliant guidebook (which fits so nicely in the box with the deck) and with your intuition. Each card has an associated song in the guidebook - I highly recommend listening to the song when you pull a card - so brilliant! These cards seem to draw you into yourself and at the same time, all you to explore broadly to find the answers you might need. Take your time when you look at the cards for the first time - there is a lot to take in!
The deck is quite heavy, but I would still recommend being careful with how you use and shuffle the cards. It can be tricky to pick up an individual card from a flat surface because of the card texture, be mindful as I’ve had one card have the backing start to peel off when I tried to flip it over with my nail (shuffling the cards roughly can also create the same issue) - still completely fine and useable but I wouldn’t want to push it too much. So be gentle and careful!
Of note: It is VERY difficult to take pictures or videos of these cards - they are much better in person. So just be aware that the product photos here are the very best I could do to show both images - but rest assured, they look MUCH better in person.
Also, The Empyrean Tarot is available in the MoonAmaia collection also - similar concept but using the tarot system structure - absolutely beautiful as well!

Lenticular printing, while innovative, can introduce subtle imperfections on cards due to its complexity. The process involves a lenticular lens creating depth or movement illusions, but achieving 100% perfection is challenging. Small irregularities may arise, resulting in minor, often subtle, imperfections on the cards. These variations highlight the intricacies of lenticular printing, emphasizing the uniqueness of each print rather than expecting absolute flawlessness.
