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.

Knowledge

Knowledge is not what you think it is. Or, at least, it is more than you know. True knowledge has the flavor of wisdom, of instinct, of innocence about it, and it lives in order to be known.

When you have knowledge and keep it a secret, it withers and dies a slow death. Someday your secrets will die with you. What, before then, should you say? Knowledge gains power when shared. Ignorance breeds contempt. With the understanding of the world you have gained – over time and the distance of living – comes the obligation to offer it up.

There are people beside you, behind you, around you, who crave what you know like bread. Feed them so they can feed others who hunger; eventually all will be fed.

Compassion is vital to anything in life, but its knowledge requires practice. Do that. Then teach that. Then share the fruits of the knowledge of mind.

Your knowledge is a gift; offer it, with discernment. Just as you would not give a baby bird to a vicious dog, be careful who you hand your wisdom to. Some knowledge is private and shared only through action, suggestion, or breath. Some knowledge is general, and may be cast over the fields like seed. Some is nascent; you may pass it along and the receiver may not know what to do with it. It’s OK. They will hand it off elsewhere, or tuck it away and one day pull it out to find it finally fits.

Just as you would share your knowledge, remember it is wise to know how to receive. You cannot offer what you have yet to integrate, so take your time, allow it to ferment, and churn, and digest.

Knowledge rises with age, until something appears at the top, available in the precise moment it’s called for. Then skim and gather and form, place it in the waiting palm, and make the world whole, once again. ❀

Path

Path is what lies before you, even as what lies before you may be out of view. Path is what brought you to this place in time, all of your past steps and errors and disbeliefs. Path is where you stand or sit or rest right in this moment, always moving, yet also always still. Path is the arc of energy you walk throughout your life, half in faith, half in confidence, never really knowing where it leads.

There is a continually unfolding quality to Path, the mystery that abides even when you think the way is clear. There is always a fuzzy spot on the horizon, which cannot be seen distinctly, but which inexorably draws you on. It is the nature of a lifetime to unfold; the center is not revealed until completion. But the center is within you and continually guides you, whether or not you feel conscious of this truth.

There is an idea some have about Path, that it should make sense, that the outcomes are preordained, that one thing will lead to another, that consequences can be understood and weighed before they are activated. But if you look back, you will notice how much of your life could not have been anticipated, no matter how much information you gathered, mulled over, and analyzed. You may also notice that however much you believed you knew what you were doing, you surely did not. Conversely, times when you were less confident, unsure what steps to take, you were guided, absolutely. That deep inner wisdom which resides in your very center has never, ever left you.

Your path has only one purpose, and that is to lead you more deeply into yourself. No matter where you are, which branches you explore, how often you go one way or another, or feel lost, you are always on your path. This is it. This life, this arc of time and space, this meaning you ascribe. Wherever you place yourself – each moment, resting, moving forward – is you and Life living your Path. Trust this. ❀

Delight

The emotion of delight is often confusing for humans. There are so many elements to feel all the time, about feelings one is having and whether or not one should. For some reason, over time, humans seem to grow shy about the simple, deep directness of delight.

Delight is fundamental. It is simple. It is safe. It is a blossoming sensation, arising from within the heart and mind. It can be as easy as a laugh, breaking forth in spontaneous combustion of the soul, a little blip of joy escaping and then bursting like a bubble in air.

Delight is sometimes anticipated, which can either increase or decrease the actual experience of delight. Your choice. Your view. Your perspective.

Allowing yourself to be surprised by the world – for some people, that is a challenge. But for the moments when you rest in confidence of the space the world holds for you, any beauty, any connection, any glimpse of the holy nature of existence can bring delight.

It is not often thought of in scripture, but simply to be in the world is the delight of the gods, who cannot fully incarnate because of their nature. They find delight everywhere on Earth. They do not, as some worry, delight in the suffering of mortals. But they do wonder, occasionally, at the lack of delight mortals show.

When did you all become jaded, and tired, and spent? Do you not glance up in your dusty cell to note the fragile beauty of the new-spun spider’s web? And do you not, when she catches a fly, delight? Not for the woe of the insect entrapped, but for the demonstration of the arachnid’s art, and of course, the prospect of their supper. And do you not, for that moment of delight, forget the sorrow of being yourself, trapped in the world?

Delight is the path to liberation, spiders, flies, et al. ❀

Inside every being lives the same tender heart

While you may feel revulsion, anger, or smugness when you see a difficult person, remember, they too long for love. They may not express it in the most appealing manner, but they wish to be safe and understood and belong to the tribe.

Everyone has been wounded, and everyone is doing the best they can. Each being has advantages and disadvantages; learning to work with oneself is a lifelong practice. Some people are lazy, some are mean, some are unable to be aware, some are unkind, some are frightened, some are out of touch. Some mean well, but cannot figure it out.

Many variables exist. You can understand this because you have had all these experiences as well.

When you are having a bad day, have compassion for yourself. When you are having a good day, remember you are one of many, either way. And when someone really gets your goat, please keep in mind that their heart is tender, just like yours, and like you they wish only to be loved.

No, you don’t have to agree with them. Sometimes you might even need to fight them. But please do not lose sight of your common ground, or else it will be hopeless. If you cannot recognize yourself in your enemy’s face, you still have a long way to go. ✩

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. ✩

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. ✩

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. ☼

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. ☼

Respect

Respect must always be mutual. Respect must always be earned. There are two elements to respecting someone. The first is that you carry with you as a baseline the attitude of respect. You respect all life and even inanimate objects, as a matter of course.

The second element is the earning of respect. Do not grant respect above your baseline to any who have not earned it. This level of respect implies intimacy and vulnerability, and must be reserved for those whom you trust.

When other people do not respect you, you may offer the minimum of respect to them, as a matter of self-respect, as a matter of ethics, morals, or integrity. But to offer them too much in response to too little is to disrespect yourself, and all those who have come before.

Respect is a lifeline, a way of being in the world, it is true. A fundamental approach to one’s life. Do not treat it lightly. Demand it and earn it from others, and give it deservingly or not, as best you can.

Do you understand respect? Take time to consider it for yourself. It is, as they say, an inside job. ☼

Emergence

Restrictions are not what they seem. The more solid they appear, the less power they have over you. The time is coming – here it is now! – when you will discover yourself emerging.

Not unlike the butterfly. Once it was a caterpillar who, for reasons unknown even to itself, saw fit to create a cocoon. It spun the structure around itself and then dissolved. What else was there to do?

And yet the day came when the structure thinned and the daylight shone through and before it could give a second thought, the butterfly emerged.

Now, many people believe the butterfly to be beautiful, more desirable, superior to the worm who spun the sac. But how would it even exist, without the original worm?

No butterfly ever emerged who did not have a caterpillar past.

So, love the whole arc of your story, and don’t worry about the pace of things or what you are supposed to do now.

Remember, even a butterfly has no idea, at first, what to do with its wings. ☾

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. ☾

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). ☾

Fear

Fear doesn’t actually get much done.

Fear makes a lot of noise. It pretends to be useful and energetic so you will agree to keep it around. Kindness and love accomplish more in life, more usefully, and do not exact as high a price. In fact, they pay you to let them stick around.

Fear doesn’t help you navigate the world; it often causes trouble, or turns to anger. Disembodied energy – where you came from – is pure love. When embodied, you have something – everything – to lose. The body is the only locus for fear in the universe, therefore, the embodied ones feel fear. Very rarely is fear a useful response to things, but it tries to keep you safe.

Because fear is of the body and the mind, a stronger emotion than almost anything else, it takes up a lot of space and time. So, you might ask yourself if you agree to this rental of your mental world. Do you wish to allow – with all your heart – the fear to occupy such a disproportionate amount of time and space? Most likely you do not.

We recommend you find a time and place to feel your fear, and contain it there. Each morning from ten o’clock to ten fifteen, perhaps, invite fear for conversation and a cup of tea. Then when fear rears itself up at other times, and tries to take control, you can send it back where it came from, call in the antidote (love), and turn your attention elsewhere. Tell Fear it can come back tomorrow; you have an appointment available from ten to ten fifteen.

We know it seems easy for us to say, not being in bodies. Some of you are wedded to your fear. We want to say, remember, it’s OK to get a divorce. It may be embarrassing or put you out of sync with friends and family, but you are not beholden to fear, you do not rely on fear nearly as much as fear wants you to believe. If you say goodbye to fear when it is not useful, you will find you have a heck of a lot more fun*.

*Fun is an umbrella term translating loosely as “enjoying your life and finding it a nice place to be.” ❀

FlowerDeck

Grief

Grief is sorrow mixed with loss and possibly regret. Grief signals an ending, of life, of hope, of what might have been, of what was going to be. It is a reckoning that most would rather do without.

Grief is not simple. It is very often fraught. It is the finality of the loss of innocence, the impossibility of unringing the bell. It cannot be undone.

When you enter a state of grief there is a shock that occurs, and then the sensation of falling. For some events or experiences it happens quickly; for others feels like a thousand years. There is no time frame for grief, nor a place for it, really. It takes up residence, and continues to dwell within.

It has many layers and a timeline all its own. The agenda of grief is hidden, only seen clearly, if at all, in retrospect. It knows things you will not know for a long, long time, but it keeps those things near, so you feel them.

Grief arises, unbidden, at unfortunate times, and invites you to participate in the shadows of your life. So much is hidden there, so much depth you might have never touched if not for grief. These are your riches; use them well.

Nobody knows how to grieve properly, not in the sense that it ever gets done. That is impossible. Grief is a lingering flavor, savory, bitter, and sweet, adding dimension and contrast to everyday life.

In a sense, grief is the underlying experience of all of humankind. Fundamentally, your separation from the Oneness is the basis of this whole experiment called Life. When you came to Earth, you both lost and gained a home. Confidence that you shall someday return to that state surely wavers, here in the land of conditions and apparent separation. You remind each other that you are all one, that humanity is one, and that nobody is really separate from the whole. But to say it and believe it and deeply, immovably feel it – those are all different things. ❀

Persistence

When something deserves to be done, it might take longer than you think. You might need to take the long view, to wait it out.

There is something to be said for determination, slow and steady, winning the race.

Except there is no race.

This is about the march of time, and how it never paces according to your will. So, time yourself to something else, the level of satisfaction at each day’s end, the tally of how you lived into your ideals, what you learned, who you loved, where the regret and opportunity lay.

Each morning renew your commitment.

Not “this day I will be a better person” or even “I will do better than I did before” but simply, “Here is who I am and what I stand for, and to the best of my ability I will meet myself with all my heart as best I can with what I have to work with in this moment.”

That should be sufficient to get you where you want to go, so that at the end of your life you will look back not with regret, or even pride, but with gratitude and wonder at what richness you were given and gave back, by the mere fact of your singular existence. ✩

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. ✩

Effort

Effort is not what you think. Sometimes it is giving the old heave ho, but more often it is gentle, sustained intention. Effort means not giving up.

Effort means putting one foot in front of the other, when no apparent reward exists, when nothing is guaranteed. You keep going because you said you would, because going forward is the only way out, because effort brings fruition, whether or not you live to see it.

Effort is not drudgery. It is a good day’s work, an honest living, the purpose-driven activity of the intentional mind. It is not always breaking a sweat. It does not always include a sore body the following day. And it hardly ever means injury.

There is such a thing as effortless effort, which means the precise measurement has been taken and no more and no less is applied. This ability comes through much practice, and of course through many experiences of too much and too little and the timing being off.

When you are in the flow of things, effort is not off-putting. When you are committed to survival, effort is not a thought. Effort is just what is done.

Depending on circumstance and your state of mind, it could be uplifting and exhilarating, or it could be a drag, or both. ☼

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.

Source is unconditional love, and everything – even that which seems distorted – is the product of trying to manifest in a conditional world.

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. ☾

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. ☾

Grief is not simple. It is very often fraught. It is the finality of the loss of innocence, the impossibility of unringing the bell. It cannot be undone.

When you enter a state of grief there is a shock that occurs, and then the sensation of falling. For some events or experiences it happens quickly; for others feels like a thousand years. There is no time frame for grief, nor a place for it, really. It takes up residence, and continues to dwell within.

It has many layers and a timeline all its own. The agenda of grief is hidden, only seen clearly, if at all, in retrospect. It knows things you will not know for a long, long time, but it keeps those things near, so you feel them.

Grief arises, unbidden, at unfortunate times, and invites you to participate in the shadows of your life. So much is hidden there, so much depth you might have never touched if not for grief. These are your riches; use them well.

Nobody knows how to grieve properly, not in the sense that it ever gets done. That is impossible. Grief is a lingering flavor, savory, bitter, and sweet, adding dimension and contrast to everyday life.

In a sense, grief is the underlying experience of all of humankind. Fundamentally, your separation from the Oneness is the basis of this whole experiment called Life. When you came to Earth, you both lost and gained a home. Confidence that you shall someday return to that state surely wavers, here in the land of conditions and apparent separation. You remind each other that you are all one, that humanity is one, and that nobody is really separate from the whole. But to say it and believe it and deeply, immovably feel it – those are all different things. ❀

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. ✩

Freedom

Freedom. It does not always mean you can do what you like. It can come from unlikely experiences. You can climb a hill and realize you are free to leap. But gravity will have the last word.

Sometimes freedom comes from recognizing and releasing the past. If you always face forward, or attempt to cover up what has come before as if it did not exist, you will find the rumblings of history disrupting your current events. Freedom in this case is the result of excavation and renovation, rather than denial and full steam ahead.

Freedom is mental, in general. There is bodily freedom of a kind, but the freedom of the spirit is not realized while kept in physical form. The mind, however, is free to roam at will. If you recognize this, and take care to cultivate an open and liberated mind, you will have as much happiness as your mind can hold, regardless of your physical reality.

Those with basic needs taken care of may scoff at this notion, but we tell you the truth. A hangnail bothers an unfree mind much more deeply and destructively than the lack of housing or food bothers a mind that is liberated.

Try freeing your mind, and when you get there, see if you agree. ☼

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. ☾

Testimonials

I love my BlueStar Oracle Deck! It has become an integral tool for dealing with stress and overwhelm. What a blessing! I use the deck to end my day on a positive note. Focusing on one issue that is causing my anxiety, I gently shuffle the cards until I feel ready, then pick the top card. The image is always soothing, so I let my eyes rest on it for a bit. I leaf through the booklet for the corresponding reading…it is always, always what I most needed to hear. I usually read it a few times, savoring the wisdom and comfort it brings. These cards – these messages from Ker’s guides – help me prepare for a night’s sleep in today’s turbulent times.

This is an amazing tool for assistance in the moment, support through the day and transformation of habitual negative thoughts. I began a daily ritual of picking a card that has turned into a highlight of my day. I pick a card and absorb the image and phrase, then read the guides’ message, letting it sink in. Their words go straight to the heart of the human struggle, and are always pertinent and expansive. Then I put my card on top of the deck, so I can see it through the closed case and touch in to that knowing throughout the day.

I am learning how to be a more relaxed, open, in-tune, aware, and accepting person through my daily mini-meditations. This little card deck has changed my life! Thank you Ker Cleary and BlueStar!

I’ve been using Ker’s deck consistently for a month and I love the clear photographs, channeled information in the booklet, and the positive messages that direct me back to my own knowledge and wisdom, self-care, and guidance. I’ve used The BlueStar Oracle Deck for myself in meditation, journal writing, and even with my hypnotherapy clients. I’ve offered intuitive readings using The BlueStar Oracle Deck and I’m impressed with how easy it is to use, and feels like a personal channeling session with Ker and her guides each time. If you haven’t bought this deck, I highly recommend you purchase it at your earliest convenience. I’ll be coming back for Ker’s two new Sacred Stones Oracle Card decks for her and her guides’ signature positive wisdom, encouragement, fun and joy.
