## Definition
The Living Oracle is a 44-card ecological reflection deck. Plants, fungi, insects, animals, soil, water, weather, decay, growth and regeneration are mirrors for human experience. Keywords and the card message match the printed plate. Cards do not predict the future. There are no Major Arcana, no suits, and no reversed cards. A draw is a listening: one ecological pattern placed beside a human question.
