Every now and then, a card deck finds its way into your life that feels like it’s meant just for you. That’s exactly how I felt when I got my hands on the Nature’s Way Oracle Cards – The Wisdom of New Zealand Trees. This beautiful set of 32 cards was channeled by a group of experienced Kiwi mediums called the Phoenix Group New Zealand. They were encouraged by spirit to bring forward the energy and wisdom of our native trees – and wow!
These aren’t flashy cards. They’re simple, honest, and full of gentle power. Each one carries a message from a native New Zealand tree, and somehow, the right one always seems to appear just when I need it. Honestly, I haven’t even used them with a specific question yet – they just seem to know what’s going on and pop up with guidance that feels spot on every single time.
Here’s what the explainer card says:
The Wisdom of the Trees There is much we can learn from trees: to have strong roots and stay grounded; to allow ourselves to grow upwards and outwards, connecting and collaborating with those around us; and to emanate an energy that helps ourselves and others to thrive.
To Use the Cards: Keep the cards in a special place. When you are ready to use them, infuse them with your energy; be clear about what you are asking; then pull as many cards as you feel appropriate. Sit with them for a while, allowing your intuition to guide you to the answer and understanding you seek.
This deck has become part of my weekly rhythm – a little moment to stop, breathe, and connect. It's perfect for beginners or seasoned oracle lovers who appreciate the subtle magic of nature and the land we live on.
And because I’m all about pairing tools that help us tune in and feel grounded, I’ve found the perfect essential oil match for this deck:
doTERRA Balance® – The Grounding Blend This blend smells like walking through the forest after rain. It’s made with Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile – all earthy, calming oils that help you settle into your body and connect with the moment. Just like a tree, Balance helps you feel rooted but open. I love using it when pulling cards from this deck.
Here’s a little scent ritual I created to go with them:
Tree Wisdom Scent Ritual with Balance®
You’ll Need: Your Nature’s Way Oracle Cards
doTERRA Balance® Grounding Blend
A quiet, calm space
(Optional: A journal and pen)
Step 1 – Find Your Roots
Sit with your feet flat on the ground. Take some slow, deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth, anchoring you.
Step 2 – Connect with Balance®
Place 1–2 drops of Balance® in your palms. Rub your hands together and inhale deeply. Let the scent wrap around you like a forest hug. You can also apply it to the soles of your feet or back of your neck.
Step 3 – Call in the Trees
Hold your deck to your heart and say:
"Dear wisdom of the trees, what do I need to know today?"
Shuffle slowly and pull a card (or a few). Trust what comes.
Step 4 – Receive the Message
Read the card and just sit with it. Let the message land. Write it down if something stirs something in you.
Step 5 – Give Thanks
Place your hand on your heart. Say thank you – to the trees, to yourself, to the land. You are connected and supported.
This deck is such a gentle reminder that guidance doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper from the trees.
If you’re curious about the deck, or want to bring more nature into your spiritual practice, I highly recommend giving Nature’s Way Oracle Cards a go.
