 The first edition of the Divine Muses Oracle is Out of Stock. A second edition is planned for release sometime this year. The Divine Muses Oracle page will be updated for pre-orders in the near future.
I'm planning to add two new cards and make a couple minor changes to the set. Thank you all for your kind support!  Jupiter & Saturn come together in a most auspicious way on the 21st of December! This “Great Conjunction” will spark a turning point at 0° Aquarius on the Solar New Year—the Solstice. What an incredible amount of rebirthing energy converging in the astro heavens that practically ushers in a renaissance! One can see why some astrologers are calling this the “official” entrance into the Age of Aquarius. We are shifting into the creativity and idealism of Aquarius from the cynicism of Capricorn who can be critical & get lost in pessimism—where Jupiter has been moving through for the past year, and Saturn for the past 2.5 years. This move into Aquarius reflects the archetypes of the Rebel, Revolutionary, & Visionary; and the Humanitarian, who sees the whole as greater than the sum of its parts. She takes us out of individualism and self-absorption into a world that focuses on the group and the greater good for all. How will you embody this archetypal transition? This is a most potent and hopeful time of evolution and change that we are stepping into when Jupiter & Saturn meet at 0° Aquarius. Though I feel we’ve been at the precipice, this “Great Mutation in Air” will propel us forward. Much like the Renaissance after the Dark Ages, where there was great social change. Think of The Star in the Tarot, which follows The Tower card! Mystics & magicians have had visions of the Age of Aquarius since the ‘70s, but the truth is, it's not going to save us. There is a shadow side to everything and the Age of Aquarius' kind of scares me, especially considering how AI tech could evolve! Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which governs technology. Today's technology positively offers us a way of connecting communities and giving everyone a platform to share their work & creativity, especially now more than ever. However, Shadow Aquarius can be emotionally detached & cut-off. We know by now that “social” media can fake us out with the illusion of connecting through the screen, when the truth for some can be more isolating screen-side. But, it all really comes down to how we choose to use modern technology. We can use it to lift each other up, or it can be used to our detriment. Jupiter & Saturn rule the economy, politics, and systems of law & order, and we know how dangerous a weapon the Internet can be. The echo chambers and “fake news” are hurting us. We have to be more vigilant about how we share and acquire information. We got here together; we can get ourselves out of it. The solution will be coming together to regulate technologies that polarize and divide. We will need to consider digital minimalism & digital detoxes as part of our self-care routines & healing practices. We can reimagine how we use technology. It will take personal discipline AND the collective Will—the “Essence” of the Age of Aquarius. I look forward to this new era. Where the group is more consequential than the ego of the individual. Where we gather in community & find ways to come together for the greater good. If we choose, our humanity can matter more, and the will of the few for short-term gains & agendas can become outmoded, and ludicrous even. This has been the way for many groups and cultures. Many have already been working for years and progressing towards a long-term vision and reimagining a better future for ALL. And with the wakeup call of the past year a critical mass of supporting and uplifting marginalized communities came to the forefront in the USA, which extended to the world. I know there's still much work to do. And things won't change without personal action. Imagine how the Age of Aquarius will steer us if everyone rose to action to help one another! While 2020 has felt like the biggest setback of our lives, it was a monumental catalyst for our evolution! We have been struggling in a cocoon of transmutation and we’re breaking out of its crushing confines. Here’s to our resurrection! May this Solstice and Great Mutation in Air usher in collective renewal and illuminated Unity.  Lua Tarot's The Tower, The Star, and Evolution cards.
I'll be participating in the Deep Play 2021 course facilitated by Mellissae Lucia creator of the award-winning Oracle of Initiation deck.
I met Mellissae in 2015 at a tarot conference, and her sparkly energy is totally infectious. Every time I have seen her since, it has been an absolute delight. Her workshops are like no other. Whenever she is slated to present, I'm there because I know I'm going to get something very special and fun. In this course she is conspiring with some incredible creative diviners. Every month, a different topic of divine play: @carolyn_cushing @sovspirit @otm_academy @tarotmap to name just a few. I’ll also be collaborating in one of these classes with Mellissae! I’m so excited to be part of this group of magic makers and game shakers. Deep Play 2021: Art, Oracles, and Adventures in Imaginative Authority online course is now open for enrollment.
Lua Tarot decks are now available locally in Portland at Raven's Wing, Invoke, and Woo.
I'm excited to have my decks in these magical shops! If you're in the Portland area and want to support one of these shops, please contact them to make sure they still have decks in stock. Thank you for supporting these local businesses and my self-published works!
I'm over the moon with this nomination for the Divine Muses Oracle! My sincere thanks to the International Tarot Foundation for recognizing my work. This project was a potent and transformational time for me, both as an artist and practitioner of my craft. I'm thrilled (to be honest, flabbergasted) and incredibly honored to be included amid this group of talented artists!
The 2020 CARTA Awards will open to public voting soon. I will post here when they do in case you would like to participate. Really, being nominated feels like a win! So, to celebrate, I am taking $10 off the Divine Muses Oracle for the next few days. If you need multiple sets (because of the upcoming holidays) let me know and I'll send you an invoice. |
