 One of my decks is still in print! Beautifully printed by Arcana Sacra, the French Edition of the Divine Muses Oracle, oracle cards and companion guidebook, are still available for the French speaking part of the world. You can purchase them from their website and in book shops in Canada and the EU.

 Here is hoping your year is off to a good start, despite Mercury and Mars being retrograde at this Cancer Full Moon.
These two retrograde planets can make moving forward into the new year more challenging, but they are giving us permission to take pause to retreat, reflect, and review. Which, as it happens, is part of the reason I am writing this. My Divine Muses shop will be going on hiatus soon. I am taking a break from selling my deck creations. (More on this below.)  Happy New Year! I wanted to share the news that Divine Muses orders planted 670 trees in Oregon, Portugal, and Thailand. If you placed an order in 2022, thank you so much for supporting reforestation efforts! Not only did you help support my small business, your purchase also planted trees around the world.
There are still some Divine Muses Oracle sets remaining in my shop. Orders will continue to have a tree planted somewhere in the world where it is needed. Thank you and many 2023 blessings!!  Happy Holidays! Pick an oracle card for a message about your upcoming Solstice and/or Holiday festivities and read the section for it below. 🌟
Or read all three if you’re feeling a multi-layered reading from the Divine Muses Oracle! This oracle reading uses the Magical Child Oracle spread:  You may now get the Divine Muses Oracle and Magical Child Oracle sets together in this listing. We are quickly approaching the holidays, so I wanted to put my two oracle decks in a bundle in the shop. Both of these oracle decks feature my handmade mixed-media collages.
 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, 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! I’m thrilled the deck and book are available for French-speakers across four countries!
If you read French and would like a copy, or want to gift a set to a mystic Francophile or French student, I have a few copies in the shop. You may also find copies in local shops in the countries I mentioned above.  Solstice blessings from my Magical Child to yours! Shine bright on the longest night. The stars don't twinkle without the darkness.
The photo above shows a prototype of my latest deck creation, the Magical Child Oracle. Read more below.  The Lua Tarot cards and the Divine Muses Oracle sets have been restocked locally in the Portland area at Raven's Wing and Invoke (now in Silverton), and in Seattle at Tenzing Momo.
If you're a brick and mortar shop who would like to carry my self-published creations, please contact me. If you'd like to see my work in your favorite local mystical shop, let them know I have decks for wholesale. Thank you.  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. It’s amazing that both of the decks arrived at the same time! Making this an unintentional double release of these second editions.  The Retreat card generally means it’s time to pause and create space for solitude & silence. Or, it may be necessary to take a long break, especially if you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Time for retreat!
Another message, here locally at least, is needing to Retreat from the heat. The weather app says it’s supposed to be 115° (45.5° C) here! If you don’t know, many people in the Pacific NW USA don’t have AC, so this weather event can be quite dangerous here. There are cooling centers in the area for those seeking reprieve from the heat. I am taking a break from work and am officially on vacation Friday, June 26th to Monday, July 5th. I won't be shipping items from the shop or replying to emails during this time. If you place an order, items will ship Tuesday, July 6th. Thanks for your patience & understanding while I'm away. Stay safe and hydrated. Summertime blessings!  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 We see things not as they are, but as we are ourselves -H.M. Tomlinson  The Law of Reflection (aka the Law of Cause & Effect) 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.  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, or 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.  New Card in Divine Muses Oracle: Crone Magic There are two new cards in the 2nd edition Divine Muses Oracle. Today, I'm introducing Crone Magic. This card was inspired by the Power of the Crone by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. For the past few months, I gathered with two of my favorite people to talk about the stories, poems, and blessings that Dr. Estés shared in her wonderful and compelling audio work: The Dangerous Old Woman, Myths & Stories of the Wise Woman Archetype.
