View Post“Not this again,” I’d catch myself saying. It was usually after a triggering event like someone parking my car in the driveway or when I felt unseen or excluded.

View PostI love oracle cards. Especially decent cards with great imagery and wisdom. I grew bored with another creator who has swamped the oracle card market (no names mentioned because I’m sure you know who they are) and the lack of depth in those cards. Sometimes we need to drop the illusions and realise it’s not all about ‘the light’, and that ‘the dark’ has just as much juice and wisdom…
