Wing, Hoof and Paw Animal Companion Oracle: What It Is and Who Made It
Wing, Hoof and Paw is a 44-card oracle deck created by author Angi Sullins with artwork by Stephanie Roberts, published by U.S. Games Systems. The deck is built around the premise that the animals who inhabited childhood imaginations, whether real, storybook, or dreamed, carry messages for the adult self still navigating its path. Each card features a single creature rendered in soft pastel tones with jewel-purple gilt edges, housed in a sturdy magnetic-closure box alongside an organza drawstring pouch.
The 108-page full-color guidebook is central to the experience. Sullins explicitly notes in its introduction that this is not an animal medicine deck drawing from indigenous traditions or world folklore. Instead, the messages come from the author's own imaginative dialogue with each creature, and she encourages readers to let their personal memories and associations with each animal take precedence over any fixed interpretation.
Animal Oracle Deck versus Animal Magic Book: What Sets This Apart
The animal magic genre spans books, oracle decks, and card sets with very different approaches. Books on animal familiars tend toward instruction and correspondence lists. This oracle deck takes a different path: it works through image, intuition, and story. The artwork of Stephanie Roberts gives each animal a portrait-like intimacy, and many creatures are depicted as young or baby animals, reinforcing the deck's emphasis on reclaiming childlike openness as a spiritual practice.
If you are already working with an oracle deck and want a second system covering a distinct angle, this pairs well with tarots that take a more structured or elemental approach, letting the animals provide an emotional and intuitive counterweight.

How to Use Wing, Hoof and Paw Oracle
How to open, bond with, and read the Wing, Hoof and Paw animal companion oracle deck.
-
Meet the Deck
Shuffle the 44 cards slowly before your first reading. Let images of animals you feel drawn to surface naturally. The guidebook suggests greeting the deck by pulling one card and sitting with that animal's quality for a full day before reading.
-
Daily One-Card Practice
Draw one card each morning and place it where you will see it throughout the day. The guidebook offers an interpretation for each of the 44 creatures, but trust your own childhood associations with each animal first, as the author intends.
-
Three-Card Spreads for Deeper Questions
For deeper questions, use the three-card spread in the guidebook: one card for where you are, one for what the animal kingdom offers, one for action. The organza pouch keeps cards together and protects the purple gilt edges between sessions.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock Wing, Hoof and Paw because it fills a specific need in the oracle deck space: an animal deck that is genuinely beginner-friendly, emotionally accessible, and free of the cultural appropriation concerns that surround some shamanic animal oracle systems. Sullins is transparent about her source material, the guidebook is practical and full-color, and the packaging is solid enough to last years of daily use.
