SCORE: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…


@cheralyn created the Oracle of the Roses because she often hears the statement โ€œI hate rosesโ€ and this is how her deck came to life. Because of this, she dived into a world of roses and through her ethnobotanical explorations, she was able to discover the ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ต๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.


The awesome thing about this deck is that itโ€™s not your ordinary botanical oracle, @cheralyn applied her knowledge of the language of the roses with ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น ๐—๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ดโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐˜†๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ.
