I don't care to check every spell on your list, but Burst of Radiance and Greater Magic Weapon seem to be missing. Depending on your curse Oracle's Burden can be a fun debuff, and with this many spells Liberating Command and Remove Fear should make an appearance. And probably Sure Casting once you get the Quicken Spell feat.

thanks for your input
Burst of radiance is very nice

1) Philosophy.

I prefer spells that you will use ALL the time. If it's only once or twice, just buy a scroll instead. So, you've got remove curse listed. Do you expect to be cursed a lot? Compare that to, say, Magic Circle? How often will you fight evil creatures, or something summoned?

2) Party

The rest of the group matters. If you're weapon-heavy, then things like bless and prayer will do quite a lot. If everyone else is also a spellcaster, they are way less useful. Summoning is best when the group is smaller, it can drag down play speed with a large group...

As you play, you'll notice things as well. If the fighter has the will save of a turnip, then protection from evil is more useful. If the rogue gets beat up a lot, then shield other might help...

3) Feats and build

Depending on the rest of your build, things might adjust. If you have a higher strength and con, then the melee spells like divine favor become more useful. If not, then the saving throw spells become stronger.

If you take feats like spell focus or augment summoning, the list shifts. Spells might be better for you than they are in general.

4) Details

Overall, you want to be able to buff the party, and hinder enemies. You may be the sole spellcaster, you might not, but I'd try to be able to target Will, Fortitude, Reflex, and Touch AC by 6th level. Mobility spells come online later, and information gathering spells (Scry, Speak with Dead) can also be super useful.

You've got Shield of Faith listed twice.

You can move lesser restoration back a spot or two, you don't need it all the time at 4th level. Just buy a scroll or two until you get it around 6th-7th level.

Wind wall is better than you think: it blocks swarms and poison gas, two things that oracles have trouble with. Arrows are just a bonus.

I prefer Delay poison to Neutralize poison.

Are you getting resist energy and resist energy communal at about the same time? Seems redundant.

I'd get to greater command faster, and I don't particularly care for dispel evil, it's hard to get it to work.

Communal air walk is amazing, grab it quickly.
