I have a confession: I’m a little bit obsessed with decks that play with numbers and type. There’s something magical about the way numerals and letters can shape a reading, adding layers of meaning and a touch of mystery. So, imagine my excitement when I got my hands on the Cerulean Sequence by James R. Eads—a deck that feels like it was made for puzzle-lovers and number nerds alike.

Cerulean Sequence: A Numerology Adventure

First impressions? The Cerulean Sequence is a dreamy, blue-toned oracle deck with 60 cards, each one a portal into the world of numerology. The artwork is delicate and intricate, all rendered in shades of cerulean that make every card feel like a secret whispered underwater. The guidebook is a whole adventure on its own: cryptic clues, hidden messages, and even a custom alphabet to decode. If you love the idea of your readings being part oracle, part treasure hunt, this deck is calling your name.

Comparing Three More Decks That Celebrate Numbers & Type

Since numbers and type are kind of my thing, I thought I’d line up three more decks that bring their own unique spin to this theme.

Mermaid Type Tarot

Of course, I have to start with the Mermaid Type Tarot. This deck is my love letter to the ocean and to the power of numbers in storytelling. The majors are a journey from the Fool (0) to the World (21), each card swimming with bold color and aquatic energy. Numbers aren’t just labels—they’re invitations to dive deeper, to see where the tides of fate might be pulling you.

Angel Numbers Oracle

Next up: the Angel Numbers Oracle. This deck is all about those repeating number sequences you spot on clocks, receipts, and license plates—angel numbers! Each card pairs a number with an affirmation, serving up direct, uplifting messages that feel like cosmic nudges. It’s a deck that makes numerology accessible, positive, and easy to weave into your daily rituals.

The Printers’ Tarot

Finally, there’s The Printers’ Tarot—a monochrome marvel where every card is constructed from letterforms. Here, type and numbers aren’t just part of the design; they are the design. It’s a tactile celebration of printmaking, with each card inviting you to see meaning in the very building blocks of language.

Why Numbers & Type Matter

What I love about all these decks is how they use numbers and type to create new pathways into intuition. Whether you’re decoding a secret alphabet, following the narrative arc of the majors, receiving a gentle affirmation, or marveling at the artistry of typography, each deck offers a distinct way to connect with the symbols that shape our lives.

So, which of these decks calls to you? Are you drawn to the mystery of the Cerulean Sequence, the mythic world of the Mermaid Type Tarot, the clarity of the Angel Numbers Oracle, or the graphic beauty of The Printers’ Tarot? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear which deck you’d dive into first!

Happy collecting, and may your readings always be full of meaning (and maybe a few hidden messages).
