Imagine having your personal Oracle Card Deck ...
I know there is great beauty and true inspiration in existing oracle decks, no doubt about that! And ... there is something magically unique - having your own - born from your own inner landscape and your own heart (or themes that you’re exploring or drawing inspiration from).
This is my offer to you! To co-create such an Oracle Deck for and with you. My personal story with those cards - see below.
My Story
After coming out of a deeply intimate and huge experience (my first Vision Quest) - I journaled a lot about this multifaceted, beautiful, challenging, inexplicable, mysterious experiences.
To keep on being in touch with what's been such a precious experience, which I knew would take years to unpack, I took my journal and extracted the words, sentences, images, experiences and wrote them down on about 70 cards - which has been travelling with me a lot of the time. Usually I pull one for the day to keep this thread to my soulscape alive.
For me it's an oracle card deck that feels 100 % my own and true - and it feels like a beautiful gift to myself.
Maybe also for you the time has come to have your very own Oracle Mystery Deck (or one for your family or community)! There are many ways of doing it - get in touch if you have any questions and learn more about this offering
I support you in having your personal Deck.
Of course you can just feel inspired by this story and create your own Oracle Deck, guided by your intuition! Go for it! And if you would like to have some midwifery around it, I will help you birth it, write it down with my brush and will send it to you. Here are some different ways of creating it - and of course: there is YOUR way.
Soul - Mystery Oracle Deck.
With one on one birthing session.
In this process we’ll sit together and I’ll accompany you into the realms of your soul, where your deep imagery arises from. We will co-create a space, where images, words, sentences are invited to surface and then to gently allow them to find into the form of words. And then to let these words and all which they carry land through my hand-writing on your cards. And either I will find a symbol for you for the back of the cards or you will know the symbol that you want to have on the back.
It's possible to combine those words, that arise during our session with important words from your journal / life - that you've already found and that you want to have within the deck too. You can add blessings for yourself too … You’ll know - and the deck will have it’s own soul that will also guide the process.
Life Oracle - your personal Oracle Deck
Another option is: to sit with yourself and your own journals or within your own beingness and let all that arise - which wants to be remembered throughout this time of your life in form of your own Oracle Cards. This can be again a mix of blessings, inspiring single words, short sentences.
When you’re complete, you can send the words to me and I will tune into your landscape and from there - will write down the words. I’ll let the words and the frequency flow through my brush - sitting in silence.
You can create one of these also for someone else as a gift.
SoulDream - personal Oracle Deck
This can be born from one or several of your dreams and visions. We can also look into which stories, myths or themes speak to you and we can create one based on this landscape.
Of course there are no limits to the themes and ways we go about it. I’m here to assist you to dive into the imagery and words which are most fruitful and relevant for your life - and your deck will emerge from there.
Family or Community Spirit Oracle
The family or community Soul Oracle is one that is birthed for and / or from the members of your family or community. This is a very special one I find. I made those for families and also for groups of people who for example celebrated New Year’s Eve with each other … It’s really beautiful way of getting in touch with what’s the spirit of a group of people.
Gift Birthday / Wedding / Celebration / Ceremony / Ritual
Another really beautiful thing is to create something for someone else or for a special moment in time.
Example 1: someone wanted to honor and celebrate her own 40th birthday by thinking of 40 people who are close to her heart and giving them a gift in form of these hand written cards. First, she found one word for what she acknowledges and loves in them and secondly she found a word for a blessing that she wants to offer to them. We decided on creating a bigger card with black ink for the acknowledgment and a smaller card with golden ink (to put into the wallet for example) - for the blessing. The gift came with a small brass stand to put the card in (see image below).
Example 2: for an 80th birthday we asked the family and friends of this person, what they acknowledge in him, what they’ve learnt from him and what’s their wish or blessing for him. We decided to use different ink colors for the different themes.
Of course it’s possible to develop and create different versions of those for other important celebrations … If you want to do something like this and don’t know where to start: I’m here to support you in the creative process.
More of my story
I’ve been doing this kind of calligraphy, writing words, quotes and also creating decks for years now and I’ve always been loving it. First I started to open my AlexanderTechnique / Gestalt workshops with just a few handwritten cards and also gave them away at the end of workshops - as further inspiration. Some poeple tell me they still have them at home, somewhere from fridge to altar after many years, which always makes my heart smile. I also offered for a while Oracle Cards, where I myself was intuitively tuning into someone (only, when they wanted that and asked me to do that) and allowed the words to come through.
Contribution
Depends very much on the version / theme / if with or without personal birthing session / amount of cards / paper / size … get in touch and share with me in what kind of deck you are interested and I’ll send you the price details. Looking forward!
