VITA Oracle cards
I’ve printed a D.I.Y 1st edition of my VITA Oracle cards so my clients and you can access your ancestral wisdom & guidance - and sense spirits around you - using these sixty-five handwritten oracle cards.
VITA is the latin word for ‘life’. The cards title was intuited and recalls the Roman phrase ‘De Vita et Morte’ meaning ‘On/about life & death’.
Each card has a phrase I intuited, some came verbatim from my own ancestors and the rest from friendly spirits in my Victorian building in Margate UK which is a converted hospital. I quickly drew the cards by hand as I received the phrases and this edition is a reproduction of those original cards.
“What makes VITA Oracle so unique is the fact that each one is handwritten & illustrated which makes for a personalized experience. I love that the messages are positive in a way that actually get me thinking about how to make moves in my life. Also, I love the logo! ”

I’ve used my VITA Oracle cards during my professional tarot readings since 2020 and I’ve discovered they give clear messages in spreads and also confirm & clarify, in words, Rider Waite Smith tarot messages. My clients are always shocked at how deeply VITA Oracle phrases resonate with them.
I’m proud to print my oracle cards sustainably and at high quality after a long production process in 2024 involving scanning my original cards, designing the printed cards & tuck box, finding a solar powered printer, exploring FSC certified card stocks (from responsible forestry), then exploring print colours and test printing packs to ensure the cards are as original & personal as possible. This self-published card deck is made in small batches.
I use sustainable palo santo to smoke each deck of cards (removing stagnant or negative energy) while wishing the new owner good luck, abundance and ancestral connection through their use of the cards.
So far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with people all over the world getting in touch to tell me the incredible insights they’ve received through the VITA Oracle. I post feedback on instagram @yvettesintuition

Common questions
♡ How should I pick cards?
Any way you you wish is valid.
I like to take a deep breath, ask my ancestors for guidance while I’m shuffling then stop when my intuition tells me to (close your eyes if it helps). Next I pull (whatever number comes to mind) cards from the top, middle or bottom of the deck. I spread selected cards out and read them together. Cards can fly out while I’m shuffling sometimes - when they do it’s your ancestors making sure you get that card’s message, it’s an important, timely one. When the cards feel jumpy in your hands, your ancestors have guidance they’ve been waiting to share with you.
Or sometimes I fan out all the cards face down and select cards I feel drawn to. You will find your own way.
Another pro tip: the clearer your question, the clearer your ancestors’ answer will be.
♡ How many cards should I pull?
On the back of the Title card in the pack are suggestions for use, I recommend a three card spread for a clear, nuanced answer to a question but feel free to use the cards in whatever way feels right to you. Trust your intuition.
♡ How often should I pull cards?
Whenever you feel the need. Some pull a card daily, others only use the cards when they need ancestral guidance or the comfort of ancestral connection. This pack of cards is deliberately light so you can carry them around in your bag & luggage (many of my clients are travelling actors & touring musicians) and read the cards whenever you want.
♡ Can I find out more about a card’s message?
Yes, I post about VITA card meanings on instagram @vita_oracle. If you don’t see your card there, message me and I’ll share my own meaning but keep in mind, the meaning you attach to a card intuitively is just as valid.
♡ Why are some words in capital letters?
While handwriting these phrases, I didn’t realise I capitalised some words but these words seem to emphasise what you need to action or believe - they are key words giving another layer of meaning to the cards message. Often the capitalised words confirm or clarify the greatest message across your spread of VITA Oracle cards or in a tarot card message.
♡ Why are some cards white on black?
The ten black cards in the deck are the ‘major cards’. These give the strongest ancestral messages, so they have the most important message amongst your spread of cards. I intuitively chose these ten cards during the print production process.
