The making of the tarot deck
Making the tarot deck was such an exciting journey. I wanted to learn how to embroider and deepen my tarot knowledge. These projects competed for my time, until I realised I could do both: embroider each design and also study the card.
At the beginning of this journey I was in a bad place, depressed and anxious but having a focus gave me strength. The project had caught the interest of many. We successfully crowd funded the project together and now the deck is a real thing bringing joy to so many people.
The making of the oracle deck
Being made redundant during the pandemic brought fear sharply into my home which I was told to stay in. I had no choice but to look this fear in the face. Compelled to create a tool which allowed others to sit with their own fear, recognize it and release it, I slowly healed my own.
I embroidered the art my heart needed and found a community online of others going through the same journey. Together we rose up from fear and this deck now exists to help and heal.
An exclusive & limited version
The white oracle deck and its matching guidebook contain the same artwork featured in our black edition oracle but on an off-white fabric background.
A great tool for shadow and ancestral work, featuring blush pink end papers and box details to depict a soft and delicate essence with a sweet and gentile feel. This deck is designed to be especially sweet and nurturing through our cartomancy journey.
