A Sacred Geometry Symbol Paired With a Channeled Guide
The Flower of Life, subtitled Wisdom of Astar, is a fifty two card deck Denise Jarvie created and published through the Australian house Blue Angel Publishing in 2015. It draws on the sacred geometry motif of the flower of life, a pattern of overlapping circles found across multiple historical decorative traditions and adopted within various New Age systems as a symbol of interconnection, alongside a channeled figure the deck calls Astar for its guidance imagery, pairing a geometric visual system with a named spiritual source in a structure distinct from Jarvie's later, more directly geometric titles such as her Mandala Healing Oracle.
That combination, a recurring geometric motif running through the deck's visual design alongside guidance framed as coming from a specific channeled entity, sets Flower of Life apart from purely visual sacred geometry decks such as LON's Sacred Geometry Activations Oracle or Francene Hart's Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck, neither of which attributes its imagery to a named channeled source. Published as Jarvie's first deck before a series of further titles under related names, Flower of Life established the pairing of geometric symbolism with attributed spiritual guidance that her later oracle decks would continue to use.

Who illustrated the imagery in Denise Jarvie's Flower of Life, Wisdom of Astar deck?
No illustrator is credited on the publisher's page or any retailer listing checked. The deck prints its interpretive text directly on the back of each card rather than in a separate guidebook, so creator Denise Jarvie may be the sole author of both image and text, but that could not be verified to certainty.
What would resolve this The deck's own packaging or a publisher catalogue record, examined directly, stating whether the imagery is Jarvie's own work or a separate illustrator's.
