But the Deck: The Inner Temple Oracle Deck (Amazon Affiliate Link)
The Inner Temple Oracle Deck from Hay House presents itself as a portal to your soul’s wisdom, organized into four distinct suits meant for healing, activation, inquiry, and navigating polarity. The production is standard Hay House quality, and the fold-out stand on the box is a nice touch for displaying a daily card. That I like.
Where this review gets interesting is in the application. I dedicated a significant portion of the video to a direct comparison between the deck’s guidebook method for a Celtic Cross spread and the way I approach the same spread with tarot.

My final take is a firm 50/50. The artwork is serene, and the intention is clear, but the system feels unnecessarily convoluted for the clarity it promises. For me, personally, it’s not a purchase. But if your practice thrives on layered, self-examing systems and you connect with Rebecca Campbell’s work, it may hold the keys you’re looking for. For everyone else, the path might be less clear.
