The Oracle contains a 192-page guide book, as well as a 40-card deck. The book outlines the intentions behind the project, and Thompson’s process of research; it offers commentary on the art of foraging, and the varied uses that hedgerow plants can be put to. It then offers insight into each of the 40 plants contained within the deck. A history of the beliefs and usage of each plant is explained, followed by some suggestions for modern uses such as teas, recipes, balms or ointments. Each plant is also ascribed an oracle property; in the book, the property of each plant is reasoned and explained.
