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

3/25/2021

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.

Divine Muses Oracle Reading

Strong Minds, Strong Bodies, Strong Hearts. I want to believe that there is more love than hate that exists in the world. That people are doing the work even if we canâ€™t see it. The work behind the scenes and screens. â € I want to focus on those millions of small actionsâ€¦of love, peace, solidarity, and faithâ€¦.and think of them as the glue of the structural change of our greater evolution. Those little stories that donâ€™t get the mediaâ€™s attention because they arenâ€™t deemed worthy, because they arenâ€™t dramatic. â € But, glue is invisible, and rarely gets attention. (Unless youâ€™re a collagist. Donâ€™t get me talking about my glue collection. Each different glue has its perfect job!) â € I know that this year has been especially difficult, but I believe in us. The pressure that many of us are feeling is evolutionary growthâ€”weâ€™re growing out of the space weâ€™ve been living in. Sometimes it painful, downright ugly, and so, so sad. But, my heart is buoyed by all the actions Iâ€™m witnessing toward REAL change.âœ¨â–¡â–¡ â € Thank you for the work you are doing, and continue to do, big and small. The special little things that may never be seen, but will be a part of the foundation of the new world we build together. âœ¨â–¡â–¡âœ¨ â € â € Astral Ascent + Queen of Roses + Perfect Stranger = When we give from the heart, life begins to synchronize and align in immeasurable ways. When we see the stranger as the person we have yet to meet, we invite a deeper connection with humanity. Open minds create new worlds. â € âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨ â € #divinemusesoracle #divinemuses #divinemusings #seenostranger #oraclereading #oraclereadersofinstagram #tarotwitch #ibelieveinmagic #ibelieveinus

See No Stranger. Wonder is where love begins...

7/23/2020

"When we choose to to wonder about people we don't know, when we imagine their lives and their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requires." -Valerie Kaur, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.

â€œIt is easy to wonder about the internal life of the people closest to us. It is harder to wonder about the people who seem like strangers or outsiders. But when we choose to wonder about people we donâ€™t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requiresâ€¦. â € â€œWonder is where love begins, but the failure to wonder is the beginning of violence. Once people stop wondering about others, once they no longer see others as part of them, they disable their instinct for empathy. And once they lose empathy, they can do anything to them, or allow anything to be done to them. Entire institutions built to preserve the interests of one group of people over another depend on this failure of imagination.â€ â€”Valerie Kaur, from See No Stranger, A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love â € â–¡âœŠâ–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ â € #SeeNoStranger #DivineMusesOracle #shadowwork #revolutionarylove #loveistheanswer #cardofthedayâ–¡#oraclecardreading #oraclecardoftheday #divinemuses #cardoftheday #oraclereadersofinstagram #indiedeck #indiedeckcreator #tarotwitch #witchesofinstagramâ–¡â–¡

Divine Muses Oracle Reading and Spring Sale

3/25/2020

View this post on Instagram

A reading with the Divine Muses Oracle. The Magical Child and Keeper of Time urges a reconnection with the inner child today. Do you remember the time when we used to play carefree from the worries of everyday mundane life? Outside of the limitations of time and a schedule. â € As a child, I would lay on my bed and let my imagination soar! âœ¨â–¡â–¡ When was the last time I did that?! Years and years. Although itâ€™s hard to pull away from the chaos, now thereâ€™s time...and thereâ€™s a bit of it...to observe and ponder and create and read and feel and breathe... â € The Unknown card says that we canâ€™t always know the answers. We have to sit in the unknown; and the unknown scares the eff out of the human race and so we are always digging and digging for answers. An imperative for the evolution of our species. And, what amazing progress we have made! Yes, mistakes have been made too, but weâ€™ve made it this far. â € Astral Ascent says that we will rise above this too. We have weathered many storms over thousands of years. â € As we sit with the unknown, truth can be heard from withinâ€”itâ€™s very quiet, but if we listen carefully, a voice can be heard. That voice might be the inner child asking for healing or perhaps play time. It might be our soul-Self giving us a direction or affirming our journey (True Will). Itâ€™s also in this space that we can connect to our highest potential. â € âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨âœ¨ â € The Divine Muses Oracle is currently on sale in my shop. â–¡â–¡Iâ€™ve decided to also ship it FREE within the USA! â–¡ Packages going out daily. â–¡ Thank you for supporting my little corner of the web. âœ¨â–¡âœ¨ Be well and stay connected! Xoxo. Link in my profile.

The Celestial Meets the Terrestrial - A Divine Muses Oracle Reading

2/27/2020

View this post on Instagram

Cosmic iron! â˜„ï¸â–¡ A piece of meteorite that fell to earth 5000 years ago. From Campo del Cielo in Argentina. . The celestial meets the terrestrial! I thought of this magical meteorite fragment when I pulled the Cosmic Prince and Astral Ascent cards. How this cosmic material fell to earth one day, and how weâ€™re on this rock hurtling through infinity with a group of other rocks and a small star! How weâ€™re so insignificant, and at the same time so significant! . We humans can be very self-limiting, but through millennia we have demonstrated our limitless potential. We often forget because weâ€™re so bogged down by mundane life. The message from these two cards together asks us to work on visualizing the possibility of an alternate reality, idea or way of thinking. Perhaps explore the astral realms through our subconscious. To expand our minds, and remember that whatever we think is possible, is possible! In the words of Nelson Mandela, â€œIt always seems impossible until it is done.â€

MLKJ Day and the Lunar Masculine

1/20/2020

View this post on Instagram

â€œReturning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding darkness to a night devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.â€ â€” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. â € The image is the Lunar Masculine card from #divinemusesoracle and represents the sensitive warrior practicing the nonviolence philosophy, as Dr. King spoke about in the Lorraine Motel just hours before he was assassinated in April 1968. He sat on his bed and went over the principles of nonviolence with his entourage....not strategy, but the importance of nonviolence.â € â € In the guidebook, I use the above Dr. King quote (from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? p. 67) in connection with the Lunar Masculine archetype, the sensitive warrior who uses words and compassion as his weaponry of choice, instead of violence. On MLKJ Day, I honor Dr. Kingâ€™s legacy...and beyond today, everyday. â € â € May we all remember his message of love and continue to evolve and learn from each other; find our common links as human beings in a time that seems like we are more divided than ever. Where hate and fear continue to create bigger divides; love, compassion and acceptance bring us together on the same side on this small planet in our galaxy of galaxies. âœ¨â–¡
