Elemental Goddess Oracle, created by Bronwyn Millar, is a spiritual tool designed to empower individuals through the sacred energies of the five natural elements from Chinese medicine, as well as the four elements of Western energy. This exquisite deck offers a blend of artistry, intuition, and mystical insight and is “channeled from dimensions where the sacred feminine and the sacred masculine are balanced.”1
Millar is from Johannesburg, South Africa and was educated at the Johannesburg Art Foundation. She sketches from photos and then paints with oils on canvas and board. She is also a kinesiologist, who works with the five natural elements in her practice with clients. After an experience with psilocybin, Millar discovered the healing wisdom of interdimensional goddesses and began to sketch and paint her visions. She lives in South Africa.
The deck is arranged in five sections, each representing one of the five natural elements: wood, water, earth, fire and metal. In the guidebook, Millar explains the five natural elements, how each relates to specific organs and systems of the body, and how they work together to regulate the chi, or life force energy. She also explains her inclusion of the four Western elements and how these are complementary:
“Because the goddesses have emerged from different dimensions, their elemental language is complex; It is truly multidimensional. Five or four elements alone would give us less to work with and combinations of both expand the scope of what the goddesses can communicate.”2
The first goddess Millar drew was Medusa, Goddess of the Loving Eye. This goddess captures the snake-like hair of Medusa, as well as a third eye and a prayerful pose. She embodies the Chinese element of fire and the Western element of earth.
Slowly, Millar drew another goddess, and another, until she had twelve goddesses. At this point, she knew: “They were coming to this dimension from other dimensions where the divine balance is the case—and they had lessons for us about how powerful the divine feminine is when she is in her power.” 3
After she had drawn 45 goddesses, the beautiful beings organized themselves into the five areas of the natural elements and she began muscle testing for “each Goddess’s meridians, acupoints, emotions and Western elements. . . . I would then, again with very little conscious thought, write the Goddess’s accompanying text and exercises.”4
The cards are true works of art. Each card includes a goddess, which is a combination of pencil sketch and rich, bold colors. Most of the faces are shown only as a pencil sketch and it is interesting how this technique breathes real life into each of the beautiful creatures. Millar numbers each card, names the goddess, provides a brief, healing phrase and lists the Chinese and Western elements.
Within the guidebook, Millar recaps all the information shown on the card and adds key words, a paragraph of guidance, an acupoint for healing, a practice to utilize the acupoint, and an affirmation. The rich text allows you to deepen your spiritual practice and connect with the natural elements. Whether you want to select a card and only read the guidance or fully immerse yourself in the experience and add the acupoint practice and affirmation is up to you. Millar also includes ideas for spreads and ways to integrate the wisdom into your daily life.
The guidebook is organized for easy navigation, providing a table of contents and listing the cards within the five natural elements and in number order. Once you know the number of your card, it is easy to find in the guidebook, either by thumbing through the book or checking the table of contents. The cards also have a color band at the bottom to designate the Chinese element, such as red for the fire element. I really appreciate these tools to help the card reader to find the information and understand even more about each Goddess.
To test drive the deck, I allowed Facebook friends to blindly select one of three cards. Later, I shared each goddess and the message from the guidebook. The feedback was very positive:
D.A. got Goddess of Walking the Way and wrote: “Middle card is spot on! That was fun!”
M.H. received Goddess of the Forest and responded: “Thank you for this today. I chose the left card, and it was a spot-on affirmation. I was let go from my job last Thursday with no rationale and caught completely off guard. My guides have been giving me signs it was time to move on and then this happened. Meanwhile, I’ve started an online boutique and I’m doing my first vendor fair this Friday night to sell personalized crafts. This card resonated so well and literally lifted off the screen for me to pick it. Please let the publisher know they are well done.”
S.M. chose Goddess of Truest Self and replied: “Interesting this is my card. I have been becoming more into my truest self and feel that I am more authentic and in touch with God and my path than ever before.”
The cards in the deck are printed on a high-quality cardstock with a glossy finish. The cards are standard oracle deck size, and the box is a sturdy two-part design that easily houses both the cards and the guidebook. The box colors are vibrant, with turquoise accents and an orange interior. The back of the cards features a beautiful kaleidoscope design against a hot pink background. The colors of this deck are truly stunning!
I love the beauty, wisdom, and healing found in Elemental Goddess Oracle. Whether you are a seasoned reader or a newcomer to oracle decks, this deck offers a rich and healing experience. Millar has created a true gem that invites us to explore the divine feminine and the elemental forces that correspond with life itself. The combination of stunning artwork, thoughtful structure, and insightful wisdom creates a holistic tool for spiritual growth and empowerment. Millar’s passion and expertise shine through in every aspect of this deck, making it not just a tool but a work of art and a source of divine wisdom.
As Millar shares in the introduction:
“Each reader will find a different meaning in the cards. . . . The elements are merely the symbolic language that has been translated into the scripts for you. Without the elemental alchemy of the marriage of East and West, these messages would not have been as layered, and their multidimensionality is part of the hidden, yin, complexities of the feminine.”5
