Every version of the ‘Coastal Curiosities’ oracle deck is fantastic - and this latest version is no exception. If you’re familiar with other editions of this deck, this is a worthy variation on the theme and so appropriate given the subject matter - naturalist edition indeed!
This beautiful deck is not only a feast for the eyes but a balm also. The pastel and lighter colours (with a formal/antique feel), the texture of the cards (the teal colouring of the backs - dreamy!), the box design (gorgeous) and the familiar illustrations and on-point meanings - they all combine to provide a wonderful experience whether you pull one card or many. The guidebook is awesome too - like you’re on an expedition to seek out the plants and animals illustrated on the cards - and referring to a text book of facts about each card. So cool.
And bundled with this deck is the Specimen Pack (the last 5 photos) - 6 additional cards, all just as beautiful and mind-blowing - and a guidebook for them too. What a treat!
A wonderful addition to the MoonAmaia collection of decks - and an oracle deck that delivers a power punch every time you use it - on its own or paired with another deck. You won’t be able to put this one down.
Note: If you are after the Coastal Curiosities pocket edition, it is available here.

Deck specifications (snippets from the helloivyly.com website):
Naturalist Edition:
The Cards
Embracing the standard edition's quilt-like background patterns, you'll find newly selected patterns in various beige tones. The colorful shapes are now removed; however, the collage artwork remains the same. Each keyword is backed by a lightly colored box. And lastly, there's an updated card back!
The Guidebook
You'll find an updated guidebook featuring a new cover and interior page design that visually plays with a field notes theme. The writing has been freshly edited and slightly reworked with the same ideas and points as previous editions. Each keyword now has a dictionary-style definition included per card entry.
The Box
A toned-down design to the box still references the standard edition's layout. The shapes, creatures, and plants are removed and now replaced with black & white trinkets you'll find on all aspects of the deck.
Rigid lid-bottom box
Interior printing
Satin matte lamination
Spot UV coating
Wander through the 54 linen cards filled with cozy worlds of unusual keepsakes inspired by the rainy woodland coast of the Pacific Northwest.
