Oracle reference — by tarot suit

Birds grouped by primary tarot correspondence: Major Arcana first, then Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Order within each suit follows tarot card order. The Oracle group column uses your eight thematic groups (including Ngā Manu o te Kore for threshold / emergence work). Rows link to each bird’s oracle card. Full group taglines and paragraphs live on Oracle reference — by group.
