Here’s the latest review of my new deck by the lovely Rachael Caringella, artist, mystic and oracle.

A Few Comments by Rachael:

“My first impression of the deck was how cool the box was. It folds out into a beautiful informational work of art all of its own.

If you are wondering what foods or herbs are associated with each zodiac sign, this guidebook will tell you! It also features affirmations, gemstones, colors and goddesses associated with each sign… plus so much more.

The artwork on each card is colorful and vibrant in both image and energy. Each card holds such beautiful movement.”

Lefty Oracle: Gabriel & the Golden Bird 

Mantra: I am lucky.
Affirmation: A golden glow surrounds me wherever I go.
Element: Spirit

If this card appears in a reading expect a wonderful surprise! It could be money, friendship, advice or something else. You’ve already got the golden bird and now it’s time for the golden egg.

In my own life I try to remain open and receptive to lucky moments so that when they happen I am ready to act on them and not let them simply pass me by.

Elfin Ally Oracle: Chipmunk

Keyword: Silly
Meaning: Good fun is overdue, so plan on it.
Reversed: Things aren’t as serious as they appear.

Affirmation: I hustle to make my nut.
Astrology: Gemini, Pluto, Saturn
Element: Earth, Water

Medicine: You chitter and you chatter to remind us all to save up for a rainy day. You keep us entertained for bored we will never be.

Lore: Yes, she was cute and yes, she was fine, but with Chipmunk by her side she knew now that life was but a game that she was ready to play.

You wee pesky friend o’ mine, I’d love to have a chat so you can remind me to quicken the pace then take a very long nap.

Fairy Herbal Healing Cat Card: Anise

Anise is most helpful in treating those who feel unfulfilled, and are of the conviction that romance would cure the trouble. The word ‘enchantments’ is sometimes associated with Anise, and it can be used to work gentle spells to aid a person in finding happiness.

Anise may be used to invoke Mercury and Apollo, and may be incorporated with meditation upon the Chariot Card of the Tarot for a better understanding of its symbols.

Magical Working: Fill a small pillowcase with anise seeds and sleep on it. This will ensure that you have no nightmares.

"I am head-over-heels for this wonderful deck! I have been wanting an oracle deck for a good while now, but wanted to wait until the right one came along. And oh my goodness, was this one worth waiting for. The art is breathtaking (y'all, the colors!) and the meaning behind each card carries such wisdom. The overall energy of the deck is gentle, lovely and to-the-point. The seller is AMAZING and shipping was perfect. Thank you, Mz. Kathy!" ~ Stacie Tyson

How To Bond With Your Oracle Deck and Build a Daily Practice

Since releasing my new Zodiac Goddess Power Deck I’ve had some questions from clients and would like to share them below. I’m sure you’ll find something useful for yourself too!

How to Start a Daily Oracle Practice

Client Question: May I ask for some ideas on how to use them in my daily practice?

My Answer: I like to use them in a psychic or intuitive reading as goddess empowerment cards as though SHE is passing on advice, wisdom, strength based upon Her qualities: her myths, the elements, etc. If you watch my Moonday Soul Reading Blog/Videos you will hear me talk about these goddesses in the deck each week.

p.s. on a daily basis I suggest intuitively pulling an oracle card to see what kind of guidance and strength you'll need for the day ahead. Inside the oracle deck box are printed some poems and myths as well.

If you want further guidance I also have 2 ebooks based upon the oracle cards as well as hard copy books that are part of my Ltd. Edition Set which includes zodiac goddess greeting cards too.

Also, I suggest investigating Goddess myths in more detail as well. Some of my favorite books are:

• Patricia Monaghan:The Book of Goddesses & Heroines Reemergence in the Cultural Mythology of Our Time

• Barbara G. Walker:The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets

• Marija Gimbutas:The Language of the Goddess

• Vicki Noble: Motherpeace Tarot Guidebook

How to Bond With Your Oracle Deck

Client Question: I hear often in the world of tarot/oracle that you need to bond with your decks. Is that something that you would recommend with this deck? And if so, how do I go about doing that?

My Answer: I think bonding is a natural, organic thing that just happens and there is no need to force it or even try to do it ....similar to friendships, they just happen when we spend time with people we care about. If you want more tips about how to bond with a deck, I suggest simply working with the deck and getting to know it by pulling cards for yourself and others and by giving readings too.

Leo Goddesses from the Zodiac Goddess Power Deck

Leo Meditation ~ The Gold Within

Feel the sadness of earth’s cry,
let your body touch the sky,
guide by light, your soul’s fire,
spark to lead ever higher.

Leo Affirmations

• I am special and loved

• My heart is open

• I am awake and in tune with my spiritual self

• My inner child is alive and well

• I am a creative being bursting with joy

• I am one with the Sun

• I am generous and loving

Leo Goddess – Cybele
Cybele Mountain Mother,
Great goddess earth,
In divine madness we worship
And celebrate her birth.

Cybele or “Mountain Mother” is an Earth Goddess originally worshipped in Turkey.  She appears as a full-breasted and mature woman carrying corn and keys and wearing a crown and robe the color of all the flowers of the earth over which she ruled.

Lefty Oracle Card: Now the Real Work Begins

Mantra: I am gifted.
Affirmation: I am a conduit for the divine.
Element: Earth

When this card appears in a reading it means business. What IS your ‘real work’; the work that matters to you on a soul-deep level? The work you MUST do before you die. Define that first. Then ask yourself, “Am I doing my ‘real work’ consistently or is it even on my radar?” If your ‘real work’ is still a mystery to you, it’s time to awaken to your soul’s calling and uncover your true gifts. You can start by looking back at your childhood and pin-pointing your favorite parts. Next, look at your current favorite activities or times when you’ve been so absorbed you lost track of time. If nothing comes to you, ask a friend to point out your strengths or take the StrengthsFinder test (from the book StrengthsFinder by Tom Rath).

In my own life I purchased the StrengthsFinder book, took the test and identified my top five strengths which helped me focus on my strengths rather than my weaknesses so that I could truly shine.

Creative Journal Prompt
Where are you at with your ‘real work’? Have you started it yet? Or are you still figuring things out or perhaps you are at a complete standstill?  Wherever you are on your journey is exactly where you need to be. Take a moment now to contemplate this then write down whatever you come up with. If you’re stuck try double doodling which is a technique that involves using both hands to draw freely at the same time. This stimulates both sides of the brain in an empowering and grounding way.

Expressive Body Movement Challenge
To help shift your cells/body/mind just a smidge and to gain new perspective try imitating the pose of the Lefty in this card until you feel yourself shifting gears internally. Then hold out a bit longer, rest and go back to your journal exercise and write some more without thinking…just write.

Elfin Ally Oracle: Blue Heron

Keyword: Proud
Meaning: You know exactly what to do.
Reversed: You hesitate and miss out.

Affirmation: I am powerful magic.
Astrology: Aquarius, Neptune, Pisces, Pluto, Uranus
Element: Air, Water

Medicine: Your soul’s haven is a stream-fed consciousness, peaceful and deep.

Lore: Here in Magic Land with Heron as her ally, she could BE HERSELF; strong, capable, mystical, communing with stars that showed her the way home to the Heart of the Mystery.

The ancient primeval hunting grounds of her ally the Great Blue Heron provided her, Queen Elf, with a stream-fed haven to replenish heart and soul.
