Readings with the Divine Muses Oracle cards by Maree Bento feel like a lucid dream. Through my inner ear, I can hear music playing softly in the background as I work with the deck. Bento has worked an exquisite, mysterious magic with a touch of alchemical intrigue into Divine Muses... The muted color tones induce psychic reveries. If you’re an intuitive or shamanic reader, you’re going to really love working with these oracle cards. -Benebell Wen
About Divine Muses Oracle
With this oracle deck, I wanted to explore the various magical, creative, and healing archetypal influences. I was drawn to the idea of developing an oracle deck free from the structure of the Tarot or Lenormand. I use both of these systems in my divination practice, but I asked myself what would happen if I opened myself to whatever archetypal forces came to me?
Well, a structure for the oracle began to unveil itself to me. A synergy of divinatory pathways took shape. Archetypes occasionally merged as I channeled the artwork. Some cards inspired by Tarot, generated and sparked new cards.
Two years later, my third deck was birthed; an oracle deck that could be a divine prompt for my intuitive, creative and spiritual practice, with great potential to be a mystical toolkit for others.
My intention for the purpose of this oracle is to help one:
○ Increase psychic, creative and spiritual potential
○ Harness magical insight and personal empowerment
○ Identify and understand one's path and its cycles of growth and transformation
○ Better understand the self & others through observing the archetypes in the world, inside and out
○ Recognize & connect with the shadow aspect of each archetype, honoring one's shadow work

Archetypal Energies Explored
○ Animals in Alchemy: help guide inner & spiritual work, and represent the steps to becoming aware of oneself for personal growth and self-realization. Reflect Carl G. Jung's Individuation Process, which was inspired by alchemy!
○ The Muses: channel creative inspiration and are based on the nine Greek Muses. Included is a tenth Muse. The Muse of Art, which features Frida Kahlo, the muse for the piece!
○ Four Elemental Spirits: Work with the four mystical Elementals who represent the four suits of the tarot and the four directions of magic. They may point you to the element(s) that are significant in your reading.
○ And, other mystical creatures, magical influences & divine prompts that guide one to hone psychic wisdom and intuitive skill through archetypal examination.
Multiple voices in concert singing universal truths.

There are a few changes to the 2nd edition cards. The Four Elementals are now called "Spirits" since they are the Guardians of their Element. After using the deck for a while, I realized the word "totem" was not appropriate for what I wanted to convey.
There are two new cards: Crone Magic & Divine Androgyne. I'm excited to have these two archetypes in the deck! They are powerful and wise energies to work with and have been perspective shifting for me. Naturally the companion book has been updated to include the changes and new cards.
An extraordinary, well thought out, well researched Oracle. It houses the unnameable spirit I seek in all decks, that essence which appeals simultaneously to heart, mind, and body; the literal feel and sensuousness of the cards make them a transporting thrill just to flip through and contemplate in their own right. It begs the coining of the term “conversational art”, for each time I flip over even the selfsame piece, it speaks in new tongue, new insight and compassion. Whatsoever she creates, Maree has a championing fan in me! -Ryan Kayello, Artist, Dubai
