The oracle deck
Forty four cards for noticing the stories you were handed and choosing truer ones.
A tangible way into the thesis
This is an archetypal deck about remembering yourself. It draws on wisdom across cultures, Greek and Celtic, Yoruba, Akan and Egyptian, Māori, Inuit and Haudenosaunee, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist and Norse, read through Jungian shadow work and the lens of systems thinking.
Jung gave us a language for the shadow, but the conversation usually stops at the individual. We ask what is in the shadow. We rarely ask who benefits when parts of being human are kept there. This deck asks both.
It comes with a companion booklet: for every card, the archetype's meaning, its mythic parallel, a journal prompt, a divination meaning and a somatic practice, plus seven spreads from a single card to the seven-card Way Back.
This site offers a taste: each card has a page with the rule it names, where it has been echoed in myth, and one question. The physical deck and booklet are the full experience, built to be held, shuffled and returned to over months and years.
