Taurus Solar Eclipse and Beltane Weekend

4/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Gateway to eclipse season is here! The first eclipse of the year is a Taurus Solar Eclipse, this Saturday April 30, at 1:28pm Pacific.

An aspect of Mystic Rapture, from the Divine Muses Oracle, reveals a message about eclipse season that is ripe for reflections. Eclipses bring change and can make us look at our shadow. It's a time to adapt & grow beyond our current perception of ourselves and that of the Universe.

Divine Muses Oracle Édition Française Release

2/4/2022

Picture
Divine Muses Oracle Édition Française, decks and guidebooks, arrived this week! The set was just recently released in Canada, Belgium, France, and Switzerland. What a beautifully well-produced set by Alliance Magique: Arcana Sacra Editions in France!

I am loving the glossiness of the book and cards. I tend to prefer matte finishes, which is what I choose for my self-published works, but this glossy vibe feels so sumptuous and really makes my collages pop on the cards and full-color pages!

Decks have landed! I have some organizing to do, but orders will open for both the Lua Tarot and Divine Muses Oracle decks this Friday July 9th, on the New Moon, which is a Cazimi Moon!

I’ll share more details later and also be sending out an email to my notification list once the decks are live in the shop. You can subscribe you’d like to receive that email.

It’s amazing that both of the decks arrived at the same time! Making this an unintentional double release of these second editions.

I released my first deck almost 8 years ago now and I’m constantly amazed by the support there is for deck creators. Thank you for following my work and supporting my self-published creations.

Divine Muses Oracle's Divine Androgyne

6/16/2021

A peek at one of the new cards in the second edition Divine Muses Oracle. 
Picture
Sometimes we get stuck in dualistic thinking. Either/or. Right or wrong. Us vs. them. But what would happen if we transcended this type of thinking?

There are numerous ways of being that are not expressed in the binary. We don’t have to choose just one option. This or that. We can go beyond the binary. There’s magic to be had here. Either/or thinking becomes both/and thinking. The archetype is the Divine Androgyne—the Divine And.

This archetype is a reflection of the alchemical Rebis. The Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine are two parts of the wholeness that is the Divine.


By making sharp distinctions we are blinded to the fact that all opposites in reality spring from the same source, and that the whole of creation is in truth still one. The opposites, and the material world which they constitute, are a subjective reality, and the enlightened mind can see through this to the unity which is its true nature.
- David Fontana, Secret Language of Symbols

​For the past few months, I’ve been reflecting how this energy shows up for me, what its role has been in our society, how it has been hidden, and how it’s resurfacing or needing to. >>>>>

Reflection Oracle Card - The Law of Correspondences - Gemini Season

6/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
We see things not as they are, but as we are ourselves -H.M. Tomlinson

The Law of Reflection (aka the Law of Correspondences or the Law of Cause and Effect in the Kybalion) can be seen in the following ways:
​
  • The beauty you see in others exists within yourself.
  • What you resist and react strongly to in others can be found within yourself—or you may fear exists within you.
  • What you resist in yourself, you may dislike in others.

“As within, so without, as without, so within.”

The outer world is a reflection of our inner world. The world inside of us is the cause, the outer world is the effect.

If we want to change the outer world (effect), we have to change the inner world (cause). The answer to most issues we seek to resolve can be found when we look inside—it begins with our thoughts and attitude.

This card reflects that adage: Life is 20% what happens to you and 80% how you react.

Gemini Solar Eclipse - Eclipse Season & the Reversed Mystic Rapture

6/8/2021

Picture
We’re in the midst of eclipse season! I pulled the Mystic Rapture card reversed from the Divine Muses Oracle and one of its reversed/shadow messages is about eclipse season reflection. Eclipses can bring change and force us to look at our Shadow. We are being asked to adapt & grow beyond the current perception of ourselves and that of the world.

Eclipses are an obscuration of the sun or moon, and this phenomenon reflects the darker side of our nature—or Shadow. If you are sensitive to energy, this reversed card is suggesting that you take heed during this eclipse season. >>>>>

2nd Edition Divine Muses Oracle Model of the box & the Mystic Rapture card from the deck.

3/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
I made the tiniest and (cutest) model of my 2nd edition Divine Muses Oracle box to see what it will look like. 

The size of the magnetic box will end up being much larger (about 3" x 5") to fit the standard cards. I’m not making a mini DMO, though that would be so adorable! 

I drew one of the cards from the deck today and got Mystic Rapture, which speaks to ecstatic bliss and deep inspiration found in spiritual practice, or any practice or ritual one is passionate about.

Finishing the last touches of two new cards in the deck and some fixes on 11 of the original cards.

ETA for 2nd edition is roughly Summer 2021? I’m not taking pre-orders just yet. I’ve put a deposit in with the printer, so production is not far off. Btw, the guidebook will be similar as the first edition, seen here behind the High Priestess candle.

If you don’t want to miss the announcement, you can subscribe to my rarely sent newsletter!
