about the deck
Not long after I wrote the book "Savage Awakening: Initiatory Paths of the Dragon Mother", I awoke from a dream with very clear instruction that I was to create an oracle deck as an aid for those on the Initiatory Path. I immediately started to think of artists I might reach out to when I heard, clear as a bell, "No, you are going to create it."
Not knowing how, I listened through my body and followed how I was pulled. When I sat down to create the images, I had no idea what I was making, what shape the deck would follow, nothing.
Each time I sat down, I was told what card I was making and it flowed from there. I worked obsessively for nearly a month and, when I was finished, realized the deck had 6 cards for each of the 4 paths and 13 General Cards. I was blown away that it came out like this.
I knew the deck wasn't complete but I had not yet learned what the final cards would be so I stepped away. Later, the final cards were revealed to be the 7 planets that our earliest ancestors could see with the naked eye, including the Sun and the Moon.
The imagery in this deck is rich and layered. Each card is a meditation that will speak to your deeper self and guide you to the wisdom within. As you use the deck, different aspects of the card will stand out more than others in each reading, giving emphasis to a particular "flavor" of that card's message for the reading.
Unlike many decks, this deck is meant to be touched and used only by you. This bonds you to each other, giving readings a relational potency - where the deck comes alive and the spirit of the deck, as well as the spirits of the Unseen, actively communicate with you. If you've not bonded with a deck in this way, the booklet that comes with the deck teaches a simple ritual to do so. The readings, insights, and transformations that come from working with a deck in this way is nothing short of astounding.
I highly recommend this deck for people who give readings to others, as well as for Healers and other practitioners who may encounter clients who are in the throes of spiritual initiation. Familarizing yourself with the signs of spiritual initiation should be a priority for every practitioner.

the Cards
PATH CARDS: There are 6 cards for each of the Initiatory Paths. These cards will deepen your understanding of the Paths themselves, as well as give incredible insight into how these paths pull, effect, and work through us, helping you to see the impact they are having on you. This gives an unique context to the things we experience, allowing us to see things differently than our conditioned minds usually do. This "path" insight can help us accept some of the less savory, taboo, or more unusual aspects of of ourselves.
GENERAL CARDS: There are 13 general cards. These cards help us to get to know the strange forces that we encounter on this journey. They will give you insight into factors affecting you that are not tied to any particular one of the paths. They tend to show a more general view of how initiatory energies pull us deeper and the unique metaphysics that affect those on an initiatory path. This insight can help us struggle less to "fit in" and turn more clearly toward our truth.
PLANETARY CARDS: These are the last cards I was instructed to make. At first I wasn't sure how they fit into this deck, but I've learned to do what I am told, so I started to create them. Lo and behold, as I created each card, wave after wave of profound understanding came through as to how truly potent these planetary beings are for those on this path. They augment this deck, and will aid your path, in more ways than I could even begin to say here.
BACK OF CARDS: This deck can be read upright-only, or you can incorporate reversals if that is your preference. To accomodate all reader-styles, I have made sure the card backs do not reveal which orientation any card might be in.

Booklet
BOOKLET: The booklet is 62 pages and offers suggestions for consecrating the cards and bonding them to you, spreads, and keywords for each card with a short description. Below is a sample of the first 6 pages, including the booklet cover, so you can see the table of contents to get an idea what's inside. This booklet is the same size as the deck and comes inside the oracle deck box.
