Explore our oracle decks using the random card generator below. Each generator contains 9 cards (out of 36) from its associated deck.
Instructions: Working with oracle cards is a personal and intuitive process. The more you use them, the deeper your connection with your own inner wisdom grows. The following ideas are just suggestions; play with them any way you wish.
Ask a question in your mind and heart, holding it clearly as you scan to see which deck to use. You can use all three cards displayed in each deck, one from each deck, three from the same deck, one card only, your choice.
One of the simplest questions to ask is, “What do I need to know right now?” Of course, you can ask whatever you want. Open-ended questions will bring more insight than yes/no questions. Three-card readings could be framed as past/present/future, or self/situation/obstacle, or anything else that makes sense to you.

Choice
Choice can be a challenge, or an opportunity, or an obstacle. Choice can open things up or go clunk. It depends on what the options are, and how soon you need an answer. If you are used to having choices, you may not be troubled at all. If Choice brings you to panic, you may need to breathe, and take a little more time. Your preferred choice may not be offered to you in the moment, in which case you can say hmmm, I see nothing I like, try again. Or hmmm, I will wait and see what else arises. Or even hmmm, I want something other than what is offered, and I will take myself elsewhere in search of it.
You are not required to accept as a choice that which does not suit you. Sometimes, on a dime, you have to make a choice that does not seem to take you where you want to go. You may need to suddenly turn right or left when you meant to go gaily forward. In which case you might travel around the block or take a different flight or make a U-turn when it’s safe or even just pull over to get your bearings. You are not required to stay with your choice any longer than it serves you.
Each choice leads to all other choices, so remember this when you feel trapped. Any choice will bring movement. Each choice brings opportunity. You will never be entirely certain of them all. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to clarify, like when you stop stirring up the silt in the pond and allow the transparent nature of water to reveal itself. Sometimes choice will make itself known only when you stop interfering with it.
Choice may sometimes appear to be kept from you, but very often you just need a shift. You may need to call in your allies (of the seen or unseen worlds), or go to court, or run away. You may need to take a leap of faith or go back to bed. You may need to throw it away and start fresh. Other choices, other times, will always arise. No choice lasts forever, not even the ones you regret. There is an overarching framework to your life, and you will always see Choice within that context, whether you recognize it or not. ❀


Amplify
To amplify is to take what exists and make it more so. You can amplify a feeling or a thought; you can amplify a reality or an imagined experience. Some times appear more amplified than others. That’s just how it is.
If you aren’t aware of what is going on, within you or around you, you can add to the chaos and fear in the world through your attention. When it gets fixed on a sadness or an anger, and you dwell there, or engage in a test of willpower, those elements will be amplified. If you attend to a flower or a raindrop or a frog, that is what will be amplified. If you bring awareness to the fundamental love that runs in your veins, the resonant energy out of which you are created, then that is what you will amplify out into the world.
That which you amplify becomes more so, and informs the shape of the world. When you want a solution, be careful not to amplify the problem as you perceive it. Note the problem, of course, but focus on solutions. Keep in mind that one solution is never enough; nothing is ever that simple. Keep in mind also that you are not required to solve the world’s problems alone. Instead, we recommend that you amplify the experience or the framework of solving, into which input from many sources may be received and out of which many types of solutions may emanate.
Amplify the qualities you wish to have more of in the world, not the narrow one-time solutions or reasons or approaches, but the energy of solving, the energy of rationality, the energy of approach. Bring in the essence of the healing activities you seek, and ground them. They will grow, exponentially. They will amplify.
It is like shining a bright light on everything. Brightness, as well as illumination, as well as that which is illumined, they all grow. ❀


Ground
Ground is where you come from and where you shall return. Ground is what holds you, every day, in your life on this planet. Ground is where you go when times are tough, when you require sustenance, when you need a rest. Home. Here. Now. Ground is where you are born.
Ground waits for you, supports you, is available to you no matter what chaos is raging around, above, or inside. Ground is where you send misery to be composted. Ground is the practice of making sure you don’t short out, that your circuits can hold all the power you need, that you won’t burn up or burn down. When you are afraid of anything, go to ground.
Sending your roots into the earth is an idea whose time has come. It is a recognition of your relationship to Home. Here is the place you took form for this lifetime and here is the life you have borne. This is the time of existence in 3D form. Here you are, and here you stay until the day you are gone. Before you came here, groundwork was laid for you. When you depart, ground will reabsorb your bones.
Ground has the capacity to take the unused and transmute it to beget something new. No matter the age of your soul, you are born from the ground of all that came before, in your mindstream, your lifetimes, the history of your soul, and the people into whose legacy you come. You bring with you your intentions and beliefs and trials, with which to test yourself. Here you are and here you stay. On this earth. This ground. Right now.
Ground is the basis for everything here. Your body is earth. Your heart. Your mind. The idea of ground is the dirt you have assimilated into the bones of your being. Ground is the structure on which your being rests.
Just as a painter, a gardener, or a builder prepares their ground, so was this ground prepared for you. The vast open plains of your lifetime. The seeds, the colors, the brick. What you need is here within you. To remind yourself of who you are, you simply touch the ground. ❀

Perfectionism: you’re doing it wrong
Perfection is not an ideal, dear ones, but a deadly, insidious disease. It kills dreams, it kills hope, it kills spontaneity. It damages relationships with self and with other, and encourages the growth of fear, grasping, and controlling behaviors.
In no way is the Perfect your friend.
In fact, although you find the idea a bit comforting – that there is someplace to end up that is unassailable, of course it’s a lovely idea – in fact it will only and always and every time let you down.
It doesn’t hold. It doesn’t remain.
Perfection happens in a fleeting moment, and dissolves again in the rapid blink of an eye.
There is no ground of perfection on which you can take a stand.
It is not right or good or infallible. It is only a breath, passing through.
Like this one.
And this next one.
And once again. ✩


Your purpose here is to become yourself
It is a common question among humans – why am I here? What is my purpose in life? It’s very simple, really. You came here to be this person that you are, and one way or another you will get the job done.
The question is beautiful. Please, never stop seeking meaning for your life.
The basics, you know: kindness, generosity, honesty, humor, love. The details are tricky, the execution sloppy at times, but you keep going, becoming, and growing, into your being, your life, your skin.
We love you very much, and all your foibles, too. Don’t worry so much. Things are coming along just fine. When you can make improvements, we have every confidence that you shall. In the meantime, try to enjoy the view.
Please understand a salient point: you have destiny, and you also have free will. Destiny means you have a plan, and it is engaged, and you have options, to follow or to alter the course. Mostly you will follow the plan, though there may be some detours along the way. So, you can relax. And free will means you might not get everything done. You might decide to go another way sometimes. This is perfectly allowed. ✩


Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete
Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.
You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?
Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.
A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.
Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life? ✩

Communication
There are many ways in which beings communicate. Some use words or sounds, some visual or gestured cues. Some simply walk away or towards you. Some will be silent and still. Everyone – all beings – communicate with energy, and even if you want to deny it, you receive the energy as well.
When you trust your own perceptions and are well grounded and finely attuned, you will read beings and situations accurately, and will be able to respond with good cheer. When you don’t have experience or confidence or discernment, even the most explicit information given in your native tongue will seem foreign or impossible to interpret.
Try to be open and listen with all your faculties. Some information is given on the breeze. Be like a snake, taste the air with your tongue. Allow all you perceive to enter your consciousness, and then rest for a while, to let it settle and make itself known. In this way you are less likely to jump to conclusions, cause offense, or take umbrage.
Even if the process takes only seconds, the beats between communication and reception and response are hallowed ground. Sacred interactions happen there, in each moment. And, in that place, you meet your own sacred selves as well. ☼


Connection
Connection means all beings meet at the Source. It is not something generated or imagined or perceived; it is factual and cannot be otherwise.
You cannot exist without all who have come before, and all who are currently here, and even those who come later. By “all,” we mean not just people, but dogs and pigs and bugs, rocks and leaves, and everything else. Everything arises from the same cosmic pool of energy, and, after this lifetime, all disperses back to the pool again.
So indeed, you are interrelated, all beings must be. How else could all of this arise? Bring respect and love to your actions, your thoughts, your desires, for together you are building reality.
You must bring what you want to experience. You want love? Bring love. Satisfaction? Cultivate it so you have enough to share.
Longing to feel positive about your place in the world? Shine that light on others, and your experience of it is assured.
Source is unconditional love, and everything – even that which seems distorted – is the product of trying to manifest in a conditional world. It’s not easy to exist here, so be kind to yourself, and all beings, and keep doing the best you can. It all comes back around. And home. You will always come home. ☼


Community
Community is not always what you think it is, or what you might want it to be. Some want community to be the family they never had. Others fear it will be the family they did have, and so they shy away. In fact it is simply a gathering, in time and space, of beings who have something in common. The task of community is to discover what that might be, which might be different than anyone thought.
Community is powerful, which is why many long for it and others fear it. In community, things are built that are not possible without cooperation. But while individuals may be protected by the group, they may also threaten the group and therefore be kicked out. Some prefer to not join community, in order to preserve a belief in their own independence. If I don’t need you, you can’t hurt me, they think.
Community is for healing all the wounds of the past, and so the wounds must arise. Coming together is a fierce and valiant act. Even if it disappoints and disgruntles, community also proves that the wholeness is greater than the sum of its myriad parts. All beings belong, all are in the Oneness.
There may have to be a few meetings to sort it all out. ☼

Grace
Grace is as inherent in your day as sunrise in the morning. You may not see it. There may be heavy clouds, dense drapery, or no windows where you are. But the sun rises, every day, and grace is not far behind.
When you require grace, seek it out. Grant it to yourself, even if you cannot feel it. Grant it to others, even if you don’t know if they deserve it. Grant it everywhere you go, trusting in the power of the light to bestow itself on everyone without question, judgment, or hesitation.
Grace is that moment when the glass did not break, although it fell. The moment you paused before stepping off the curb, so were not struck by the distracted motorist.
Grace is when the child across the room sees you and lights up, for no apparent reason. Grace is when you smile, reflexively, and the other one smiles back.
Moments of grace in the day or night are infinite. If melancholy has taken hold, then the counting of instances of grace will be your salvation.
As you count, grace is drawn to you. Like shining a light on all the magic of the world, you illuminate it for yourself and others. ☾


Origin
Origin is both inside and outside of you. You can stand inside yourself peering out at the light and wonder what is happening. You can be the light, pouring in through the cracks, trying desperately to illuminate all that is locked away within. Anything is possible.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was the Oneness. And it decided to become itself more and more, and in doing so it splintered into Soul Groups. Each Soul Group houses many souls. Every soul is connected to their Soul Group and the Oneness. Simple as that.
All the work of becoming now lies on the shoulders of the souls. They go to Earth and other places and times and have lifetimes and experience things and respond to the experiences and have thoughts and feelings and purpose and awareness and consciousness and choices and fate. They make stuff up and believe it. Sometimes they disbelieve that which is factually true. Anything is possible, you see.
The unconditional love of the Oneness endures, expressed through each being on each planet throughout time and space. There is much that can only be experienced through being a soul in a body: loneliness, fear, chocolate ice cream…
Please rest, if you can, in the knowing that you are never alone, that your existence as a human is worthwhile, and that Love, your Source, the Oneness, can never be lost. ☾


Intention
Every intention has unintended consequence. So what? There are consequences to being unintentional as well. If you shy away from what you are intending, you have less voice and more trouble.
When you are clear and upfront with your intention, it is easier to see what fits and what doesn’t. You can continue on your path, if you know what your purpose is. Sometimes you might be sidetracked or make a detour, but clear intention gets you back on the trail without fear.
Intention acts like a beacon on a stormy night. It sets the tone for your life, and shores you up when your energy flags. Your intention for this lifetime can be deduced, if you are not quite certain, by how you have spent your time thus far.
Is your intention to accomplish your goals or is it to live in perpetual fear? Here is a secret: everyone intends to do what they came to do. And pretty much everyone does it, one way or another. Whatever does not get done will be waiting for you in the next lifetime, so you can do it now or then, but your hair is on fire, they say.
Look back over your life, look at your current life, and look at the plans you have for moving forward. Where is your intention in all of it? What are the strands you see woven throughout? What’s missing? What feels right? Where is the joy, the sorrow, the satisfaction?
Your intention does not need to be set so much as it needs to be recognized. Then you will know what to do, and why, and how. ☾

Receive
Some people think that receiving is not an action but a state of passivity. This is untrue. Receiving must be an engaged action for it to have any effect.
Many things get in the way of receiving properly: deflecting, denying, rejecting, trying to give back right away, or to give away or pass along what has been received without fully digesting it. All of these responses are understandable. There is so much wrapped up in the idea of receiving. And yet.
Receiving is happening all the time, in many, many ways. You are antennae, attuned to all the vibrations, information, and offerings of the Universe. You can’t help receiving. With this card we encourage you to be selective in your attunement and fully able to take in that which you receive.
It is necessary, of course, to take in food and water, air and light, in order to survive. Many people acknowledge the necessity of love as well, but few practice taking it in.
There is love and beauty everywhere, and it is beamed to you all hours of the night and day. This doesn’t mean there is no pain or suffering, of course there is. But without receiving the healing vibrations of unconditional love, the stuff you are based in, how are you to withstand the challenges of life?
To practice receiving, give yourself a few minutes at a time, find a space where you will be less interrupted, and allow your gaze to soften. Find something beautiful or pleasing to look at. Find something peaceful to listen to. Find a nice smell, a nice taste, a pleasant texture of cloth or skin. Take a few minutes to breathe it in and allow it to diffuse into your cells. Imagine they are plumping up, glowing with the radiance of reception vibrating with health and well-being.
Practice this daily, without rejecting or squirming away from it, without having to share it with anyone else, and eventually you will attain mastery. And then you can work with receiving the things that seem less pleasant to accept, until at some point you will be able to receive the entirety of your life and the world in which it resides. ❀


Fruition
Fruition is an ongoing process. It is not only the point where what you wanted to happen, happens. Fruition is everything along the way, and after that.
Each moment of your life is the fruition of all that has come before. If you appreciate or enjoy anything about your present circumstances, then regret is absolutely moot. Because everything up to this moment has contributed to now; this moment is the sum of all your choices and events.
Solitude may be the fruition of your relationships that didn’t work out. That leads to loving yourself, if you let it. Community might be the fruition of all the times you were lonely, until you finally stood up and walked out to find people again. Everything is the fruition of what came before, but you’ll never know exactly what came from what.
If you dislike anything about today, you have no need to blame. Just think for a moment about what brought you here, and contemplate what might take you onwards. Do not denigrate yourself or others; do not blame or guilt or find fault. Every choice, every event, and your perceptions and responses to those things, make up the mosaic of What Is. Here you are, so rejoice.
All your steps that brought you here were acts of faith. Please trust yourself to carry on accordingly. Even if you are unhappy, you have done no wrong that cannot be accounted for and healed. You have also done no right that cannot be undermined, dismissed, or regretted. Rest in confidence, and go on. Everything changes.
You don’t need to be cheerful all the time, but appreciate the fruition of your life. It is waiting right in front of you, low-hanging fruit. If you are hungry, eat of it. If someone else needs it, give it to them. There will always be enough to go around. The elements of your life are fertile, as is the ground. Each moment seeds are being planted, each moment tasks are being tended to, each moment you reap what you have sown. This is called karma, the simple balancing act. ❀

Patience
Patience is that thing where you are feeling impatient but you bide your time.
It is the thing where you really want to jump out of your chair, but remain holding your seat.
Patience is when you bite your tongue, not waiting for an opening to say your piece, but hoping for the respite from your own wild thoughts and precarious ego, replacing them instead with a patience and curiosity, a willingness to wait and see what happens next.
Patience is friends with faith and confidence, although not wholly reliant on them for wellbeing and existence.
Patience waits by the door, alert to the comings and goings without needing to interfere.
Patience is aware of the power of patience, the wisdom of patience, and patience is its own reward. ✩


All life is an expression of love
Everyone came into existence on the physical plane as an imperfect expression of unconditional love. Imperfect, because if you show up on Earth, you are living in conditional reality, and therefore cannot easily express your true essence.
This is the basic difficulty of being human, along with the powerful illusion of separateness from each other, and the loss of feeling a part of All That Is. But this is why you are here. You are trying to learn things that cannot be learned in any other way. You are trying to experience and express those aspects of being which can only happen here.
It is not easy, but it is important. Necessary. Because all of this is in fact interconnected, and if you bring conscious effort to believing that, behaving as if it is so, and experiencing your life this way, then you have moved everything forward a step, towards harmony, peace, and truth.
You do not have to do this. But this is what you are called to do. You choose whether or not to answer. Some days you might sleep in. There is no punishment, or shirking of duty. There is simply showing up, waking up, sending out and receiving that which is the true life force, that which we call love. ✩

Devotion
Some people think devotion is a state of enslavement, but in our view devotion is a state of liberation.
When you are devoted, it is an unshakable knowing of the truth of your path. Devotion is unwavering, uncomplicated, and free. Devotion is saturation in unconditional wellbeing, resting in the total experience of love.
Devotion is not a mental construct. It does not suck you dry; it fills you up, from the inside out, with energy and the will to carry on. It is not that you feel no pain in devotion – everyone’s stuff is still stuff, after all – but you may not perceive it as suffering. Devotion is confident in all the right places, and as such, no suffering needs to be borne.
The relief of devotion is palpable. No more energy wasted on questioning, worrying, weighing possibilities. The future, while not assured, is of little concern.
Devotion has a way of sharpening concentration, and allowing everything else to fall gently to the wayside. When devotion arises, it knows little else, but with devotion, what is known is everything.
How do you know if you are devoted to the right thing, person, precept, notion, practice, or ideals? You don’t. That is what devotion is for. To set aside the questions. To know. ☼

Negotiation
Negotiation is the art of filling the space between two things that do not meet. Ideally, there are three elements present. First, respect. Each party honors themselves and their needs, as well as the needs and existence of the other. Second, honesty. Each party must tell the truth about their priorities and limitations, and where they can flex. Third, openness. Willingness to see things a new way, willingness for outcomes not previously envisioned, willingness to embrace new perspectives.
Negotiation is a learning experience. When you enter it, you think you know what is happening and who the others are. You think you know yourself. You may, if the experience is successful, emerge with some different ideas. Approaching it as a growth opportunity, you will move beyond problem solving to a place of evolution, which is always cause to rejoice.
We invite you: come to the table with a low a level of attachment. Simultaneously, understand and acknowledge what is of greatest importance to you. Hold this lightly, but with integrity, and trust your companions to do the same.
Enter into negotiation – whether with yourself, another person, a community or an entity of some kind – with good faith and an uplifted manner. Trust that all will be well, and make it your mission to find that place where everyone meets in ease. ☾


Presence
You may find that to be less present in this moment is a very good choice. You may find that to bring yourself more fully into presence here and now is worth the effort. Only you can choose.
If your presence is affected by your unresolved past, you may not be able to choose.
You may find yourself not being here as much as you’d like, or you may find that you prefer not being here now, or maybe you can’t help it. You may find that you disappear from your own experience at the drop of a hat, that you must leave to avoid further pain. However, at some point what began as self-preservation becomes abandonment of the self.
You have become choiceless, and you might not realize it.
What is the point of presence? Here you are. If being here is a good thing, you could show up and enjoy it.
If being here is a neutral thing, you might as well be here, because where else would you be (and what if something interesting happens)?
If being here is not a good thing, you need to be within yourself fully so that you can take your whole self with you when you go (yes, you are allowed to go). ☾

Rest
To rest is to draw into yourself all the resources and energy you have been expressing out into the world. It is to take a period of time out of time, and space out of place, and withdraw what is generally given out.
When the body or the mind or the spirit fatigues, some people try to push on. Which is an interesting thing if you think about it. Like trying to drive a car without power or fuel. Even getting out to push the beast to the final destination, instead of crawling into the back seat for a nap, or waiting for the day to break so you can see what you’re doing, or waiting for help to arrive.
It is not necessary at every moment of every day to be moving forward. It is not a requirement that all the action you take be under your own steam. Sometimes it’s the better part of valor to ask for help, and then accept it when it arrives.
If you don’t know where to seek help, that is a useful meditation to have with yourself. Maybe write a list of ten places and people from whom you could seek assistance. If you don’t know how to receive help, this is as good a time as any to begin to learn. It is a skill, after all. It is a skill everyone needs. Nothing gets done in pure solitude, not really. So, resting in your efforts is mandatory.
Confront your fear of being lazy. There is a false equivalency between resting and lazing. Also, there is nothing wrong with lazing. But resting is purposeful in the accomplishment of your life. (OK, lazing is, too. Everything has a place.) You will not get as far as you think without resting. It is the reconstitution of the dried-out tissues of your soul. It is the rejuvenation of the skin of your being and the organs deep within, which keep you going. Is your fear of laziness and judgment greater than your longing for health and well-being?
Nobody ever exhausted themselves into better health. May we say, while we’re at it, that of course effort is called for in living your life, doing your work, loving yourself and others? May we say that at times great effort is required, to meet a deadline or launch a task, or even just to get through a day? Effort is not an objective measure; therefore, neither is rest. Both are required for function. Ask yourself, perhaps, why would you skimp on or sacrifice half of this equation? ❀

Perfectionism: you’re doing it wrong
Perfection is not an ideal, dear ones, but a deadly, insidious disease. It kills dreams, it kills hope, it kills spontaneity. It damages relationships with self and with other, and encourages the growth of fear, grasping, and controlling behaviors.
In no way is the Perfect your friend.
In fact, although you find the idea a bit comforting – that there is someplace to end up that is unassailable, of course it’s a lovely idea – in fact it will only and always and every time let you down.
It doesn’t hold. It doesn’t remain.
Perfection happens in a fleeting moment, and dissolves again in the rapid blink of an eye.
There is no ground of perfection on which you can take a stand.
It is not right or good or infallible. It is only a breath, passing through.
Like this one.
And this next one.
And once again. ✩

Joy
Joy is found in secret places, not always expressed aloud. Joy is a small thing, a large thing, a sensation beyond description, but you know when it arrives.
You may have noticed that any attempt to generate joy for the sake of joy very often fails. If it is joy you seek, bring joy to others, any way you can. If you do not know how to do this, then ask, observe, watch others, and learn what it is, this thing called joy.
Do not assume about joy. It is a quiet thing. It will let you know when it wants to come play. If you allow it, then you will eventually know it well. If you live your life in such a way that there is room enough for joy to visit, eventually joy will make a home with you.
Make friends with joy, nourish joy, and introduce joy to everyone you know. But you cannot command joy.
Joy does not come at anyone’s beck and call.
Joy is the result of a joyful life, not the cause of it.
Do not confuse the initial impulse with the outcome. ☼

Progress
Progress means movement, usually forward. Sometimes you need to go back to go forward again, because of an error, or unforeseen circumstance. This, too, is progress.
Progress is also inevitable. It can mean the glacier creeping along towards the ocean at a pace of an inch every few years. It can mean the fast retreat of the glacier, in response to its current experience. Progress does not always mean things get better. It does not always mean things go according to plan. And it rarely means things go the way you think they should. Have you noticed?
And yet time marches on. Things do progress, in the sense that things change and do not revert to an original state (whatever that would be) or at least not a state without evidence of what has occurred. Movement and memory, time and space, everything elastic and yet never quite returning to its particular shape. This is the nature of progress.
It happens whether you want it to or not, so you might ask yourself, “How do I get along with this movement, or stuckness, this evolution, or this resting place? How can I Be in this world of time and space, when in fact I am a multidimensional being of light and love?”
Good questions. Keep asking. ☾
