Table of Contents

Earth

Stay Steadfast

Earth

The Earth teaches patience, forgiveness, and steadfastness. Like the Earth, endure.

Life will give you a spectrum of experiences – You get to receive it all while remaining generous and whole in yourself. Your strength now manifests through tolerance, restraint, and the capacity to give unconditionally.

Like the Earth, you may have undergone difficult and unfair treatment – feeling extracted from, stepped on, or even exploited. Yet, like the Earth, abundance is your nature. Nothing outside of you can change the solid, steadfast stream of grace and generosity that is your heart.

When the card of Earth appears, you are being called to cultivate resilience and benevolence. Remain grounded during challenging circumstances and remember that your capacity to forgive and nurture others is your greatest strength. The Earth reminds us that true power lies not in reaction but in steady, supportive presence that remains unchanged by external forces.

Practice

Seeing Yourself through the Green Lens. Take a moment to feel your core. Straighten your spine and exhale to feel your belly relax. When you’re ready, say the following words out loud to yourself.

  1. I am a hero, whole and complete.
  2. I have goals and dreams and a desire to make a difference.
  3. I have my own answers, now.
  4. I am contributing to the world right now, by being me.
  5. I deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

These words remind and root you in your own nature. Whatever’s going on in your world doesn’t change that you are a hero, whole and complete, with your own dreams and answers that add to the fabric of creation. You deserve the world – and in knowing this, you can move through the world with grace and ease.

Wind

Stay True

Wind

The Wind teaches detachment while remaining fully engaged with the world. Move freely through all spaces and circumstances, without being colored by them.

The Wind passes through gardens and graveyards, palaces and slums, carrying scents both sweet and foul, yet remains itself unchanged. Like the Wind, you get to come and go at will. Like the Wind, you get to change your mind or change course as you please.
Remember: Where you are is not who you are.

When the Wind appears in your reading, it sweeps in as a reminder to participate fully in life while maintaining your essence. You are not defined by any particular circumstance, so don’t let your surroundings limit your freedom. Like the Wind, you can touch everything while remaining untouched, serve everyone while remaining free, and experience everything while remaining true to your essence. This card suggests practicing non-attachment to outcomes, people, or identities.

Practice

Changing Your Mind.

Take a moment to tune in. Imagine clouds in your mind being gently swept away by the Wind, revealing blue Sky.

From here, tune in to something you’ve Been wrestling with. This could be a topic, a position, a relationship… Let it float into your blue Sky as a cloud.

Ask yourself: What’s changing here? Let the new pattern begin to take form.
Notice how easy it is for the cloud to change form.

When you’re ready, invite the Wind back in to gently sweep that pattern away.

Now, notice what hasn’t changed: Your heart. You’re still you. And that is the Wind’s blessing.

In closing, offer a big exhale of gratitude back to the Wind: Thank you.

Water

Soft Power

Water

Water is a gentle force: Humble, yet powerful. It can shapeshift to any container, yet never loses its essential nature. It’s transparent, hiding nothing while holding everything. As light as it is, Water is Life. That’s power.

When the Water card appears, it suggests approaching life with adaptability and humility. Serve with reverence, while standing in power. Hold your clarity, without letting circumstances contaminate your truth. Even if your voice trembles, know that the note you hold is essential to the symphony of Life on Earth.

And remember: It’s okay to follow the path of least resistance. Sometimes, forcing your way forward is more effort than it’s worth. When you stay true to your nature, even taking action feels like flow. You're welcome to choose ease.

This card may also indicate a need for emotional fluidity: Allow feelings to flow naturally rather than becoming rigid or stagnant. Like water, find your strength in softness. There’s power in yielding.

Practice

Waterbody.

Tune in to your breath.

As you breathe, notice any places in your body where you're holding tension. Any aches, pains, tension.

Imagine the air you breathe as a soft, cooling stream of water.

As you exhale, send a stream of cool fresh water into any spot in your body that could use some softening.

Keep going, until you feel a shift. Each exhale quietly builds on the next.

Let a soft smile grace your face. Give thanks for your own medicine.

Sky

Transcendent Awareness

Sky

The Sky teaches that consciousness is boundless and unlimited. Like the Sky, our awareness is a container for all of life’s experiences.

The Sky holds planets, storms, birds, and smoke – effortlessly. It’s aware of each party, while remaining impartial. It’s infinite nature allows each to exist and run its course without judgement or intervention.

When the Sky card appears, it invites you to recognize your own vast, unchanging awareness that contains all experiences without being defined by them. Step back from identifying with passing thoughts and emotions; Rest in the spaciousness of your true nature.
You don’t need to dissect, discern, reject, grasp, mould, magnetize, or even call – Simply being yourself is all that’s asked of you Now.

This card reminds you that no matter how turbulent your current circumstances, the boundless clarity of your consciousness remains untouched – you are awareness itself. There is a place deep inside you that remembers this deep pulse.

You are the sacred Witness.

Practice

The Sky In Your Hands.

Hold out your palms in front of you.
Envision the vast night sky in miniature, resting in your hands.

Whatever emotions or energies you've gathered throughout this week – Let them exist here, without needing to name or identify them, or identifying with them. Let them take shapes, colors, and textures, moving at their own will.
Watch the show.

When you’re ready… Gently blow into your palms to melt it all back into space.

Now, rub your palms together and remember – You are the witness. You are the space in which worries appear and dissolve, where success and failure both arise and pass away.

The next time you step outside, look up. Breathe in the Sky's vastness. Let the Sky remind you of who you really are beneath all these roles and identities.

Hold your palms out to the Sky, and let remember: You have the wisdom of the Sky in your hands.

Fire

God As Change

Fire

Fire’s touch transforms: The original Alchemist.
Smoke rises and soaks into everything, trailing the scent of transmutation.

Fire digests. It has the power to consume everything into itself, reducing the complex to the simple while consistently offering heat and light. When the Fire card appears, it indicates a time of transformation and purification. Welcome any changes taking place at this time – You can trust this metamorphosis. Let any obstacles on your path become fuel for your journey.

Like Fire, you may be called now to illuminate, to ignite, to transform. This card calls on you to focus your energy with laser-like precision, boiling things down to their simplest form. As you do so, your flames will be fanned effortlessly. You don’t have to disperse your energy in many directions – Let the light of your evolution do that.

You’re welcome now to burn away what no longer resonates.
Let the gold of your soul be all that remains.

Practice

Digesting Change.

First, we offer anything that feels heavy, stagnant, or no longer aligned with who you are becoming to the transformative flame of your awareness.

Take a moment to scan your field, and notice any sensations: Heat, tingles, tension, shivers, slowness, contraction.

As you notice these sensations, visualize a Fire in front of you. Hear it crackling, and smell the smoke curling around it.

When you give permission, the Fire will magnetize any heavy, stagnant energies and sensations – Allow it.

As these energies are drawn into the Fire, you can watch them burn up and dissolve into ash. Notice how the dense energies served as food for the fire. Notice how the Fire warms you in turn. There is reciprocity here.

Take a moment now to thank the Fire.
With gratitude, release the Fire back into the ethers.

Moon

Whole and Complete

Moon

Though it appears to wax and wane, the Moon's true form remains unchanged.
Like the Moon's phases, our external circumstances fluctuate while our essence remains whole.

The Moon teaches that outward changes need not affect our fundamental nature. When the Moon card appears, you are reminded that you remain complete despite life's cycles of fullness and emptiness. All of creation ebbs and flows – And yet, you go on.

Remember: All difficulty will pass. Any perceived diminishment may simply be a phase rather than a permanent condition. Both your sufferings and ecstasies are simply guests of your eternal nature. The pendulum may swing, but it always returns home to its center.

This card brings calming, cooling energy to heated situations. Trust the natural rhythm of increase and decrease, knowing that your essential nature transcends these temporary fluctuations.

Practice

Moonbreathing.

Envision a glowing Moon in front of you.

Let your Moon start breathing —
Glowing with light as it inhales,
Darkening and dissolving as it exhales.

Breathe with it.

When your Moon inhales, growing and glowing, it's breathing and reflecting your light.
When it exhales, darkening and dissolving, it's releasing your shadow.

Gently, let your Moon start orbiting your body.
How does it feel to have your own planetary companion witnessing your light and shadow?

In your Moon, you have a kind and compassionate witness.
Your Moon sees you as whole, healed, and complete — no matter where you are in your journey. If you're feeling light, your Moon will amplify that. If you're emptying, your Moon will help you clear and release.

Tune in to your planetary witness anytime. They know your essence is eternal.

Sun

One Heart

Air Card

Though it is reflected in countless surfaces, the Sun remains singular.
When the Sun card appears, it reminds you of the underlying unity behind apparent difference. See the precious life force in all beings despite diverse forms and behaviors.

This card also emphasizes consistent service: Rising each day to provide light and warmth without fail or favoritism. Like the Sun, you can stand in your own light and power consistently, regardless of any reflectors, refractors, or detractors.

You may be called now to maintain your responsibilities with a steadfast reliability, or to recognize the divine light in challenging people or situations. Remember: The Sun shines on all of Earth's beings, be they predator or prey, host or parasite. Like the Sun, shine your unique light without discrimination while remembering your connection to the universal source.

Practice

Solar Rhythm.

Think of your favorite song – Or the one that’s currently stuck in your head.

Tune in to its pace. Is it a fast song, with a high BPM? Or a slow song that lengthens time?

Consider: Is this the kind of rhythm you usually enjoy?
How do you walk, talk, and think? What’s your natural cadence?

Taking time to notice your natural rhythm can help you own your pace in all things.
Like the Sun, you’re able to be consistent when you know and flow in accordance with your natural rhythms.

Pigeon

Bird's Eye View

Pigeon

One day, the Drunken Sage observed a family of Pigeons. When the baby Pigeons got caught in a hunter’s trap, the parents threw themselves into the trap out of grief. Thus, we learn the danger of excessive attachment — and how it may blind us to wiser courses of action, leading us into unnecessary suffering.

Excessive attachment, even to loved ones, creates vulnerability. Attachment can cloud minds and hearts. Paired with impulsive action, it can lead to profound pain.
Remember: Freedom requires balanced love that doesn't compromise wisdom.

When the Pigeon card appears, examine where your attachments may be creating risk or suffering in your life. This doesn't mean abandoning love, but rather loving with clarity and awareness rather than blind attachment. Take a moment to get birds-eye view of the bigger picture.

This card may be a warning against codependency. Notice where emotional bonds to people or situations are preventing necessary growth or change. Practice caring deeply while maintaining healthy boundaries and wise discernment. Think before moving in the heat of the moment.

Know this: This guide appears not as a warning against love itself, but against the anxious clinging that often masquerades as love.

The Pigeon also teaches us about returning home. Home need not be a physical place; It can be an internal reserve of grace and power, a story you keep returning to, or a beloved community that holds your heart. Rather than surrendering your nest, protect and cultivate it.
No matter how far the Pigeon flies, it carries within itself the knowledge of its origin.

Practice

Bird’s Eye View.

Identify something in your sense-scape that feels like home.
This could be an object, a song, a smell... Take note of what it is, how it feels.

Consider how you might be

Python

Divine Timing

Python

Python doesn't chase prey – it simply receives what comes naturally. Unlike some predators, Python does not hunt frantically or exhaust itself in constant pursuit. Instead, it finds the perfect position and waits with complete presence and awareness. When the right moment arrives, when the proper nourishment approaches, it acts with swift and decisive power.

The Python may go without food for long periods, resting patiently until nourishment arrives of its own accord. Then, it rests deeply, allowing what it has received to fully nourish and transform its being.

When the Python card appears, it suggests you may be in anxious pursuit. Python invites you to trust in right timing. If you feel restless or pressured to produce constantly, remember that the Python's power comes from periods of apparent inactivity. What appears still on first glance is a formidable force in action.

Know this: Your needs will be met without desperate striving. Cultivate patience and discernment. Strike when it’s time.

This card encourages conservation of energy: Knowing when to act and when to wait, when to expend and when to conserve energy. Python teaches us to flow, rather than force. Create the conditions for fulfillment to come to you through patient, focused presence.

The Python reminds us that true strength often appears as stillness, and the deepest wisdom sometimes sounds like silence.

Practice

Timebending.

Let's use our breath to experience time differently.

To begin, speed up your natural breathing pattern. Make your breaths shallow and light.
At least 20 seconds - Keep going until you can feel your chest tighten, your pulse pick up.

Pause here.

What is your body experiencing? Notice your heart racing. Perhaps your head is buzzing.

Now, lengthen your breath. Deeepen.
Bring each breath to the bottom of your belly.

Elongate the exhale, as much as you can.
A spacious exhale puts the body in Rest & Digest.

Try holding each breath for a 4-count before releasing.
Feel the contours of each breath as it goes out.

Now, reflect: How did your sense of time feel in each scenario?

One way to bend time is by bringing presence to the breath.
When the time to strike arises, you'll be primed and at peace to take decisive action.

Ocean

Tend The Depths

Ocean

Despite countless rivers flowing into it, the ocean maintains its essential nature. Equanimity comes from honoring your own depths while remaining open to influences.

The Ocean contains infinite variety within, yet presents a consistent surface. It receives every rainfall and river, while remaining unchanged at heart. How? The answer lies in its depths.

Unseen, unmapped, and untapped, the Ocean’s depths remain a mystery to this day. The trenches, valleys, and beings on the ocean floor are largely unknown to humanity – Yet this region stabilizes our global temperatures. The deep ocean acts as both a carbon sink and an imaginal realm, balancing life on the surface of Earth.

When the Ocean card appears, it suggests maintaining inner stability despite the many influences entering your life. Accept diverse experiences and perspectives without losing your fundamental principles or nature. This card reminds you to balance receptivity with boundaries: You can welcome input from outside you, without your inner world getting overwhelmed. Like the ocean, you can be both vast in your capacity to receive and firm in maintaining your essential character across changing circumstances.

The key is to tend to your deepest parts. If you’ve been playing in the shallows and avoiding your depths, the Ocean arrives to invite you into a deep dive. There’s nothing to be afraid of here – In fact, your depths are home to profound reserves of strength, patience, and resilience. Trust your depths.

Practice

Ocean-Body.

A body scan – with a twist. Imagine you are the ocean itself.

Start at the surface: Greet the raindrops littering tiny kisses onto the top of your head.

Welcome the beings playing on the edges of the Ocean: Those who dip their toes, birds who skim the surface in search of fish.
Go a bit deeper, into your head, throat, and heart. Here, feel the pulse of all the rivers flowing into you. Notice the force with which they enter – and the way they co-regulate in your body. You’re attuning to the Ocean’s stabilizing nature.

Scan down towards your hips. Feel the soft push and pull of the Moon. Notice how deep its light penetrates into you, moving your tides – How the Moon’s rhythms harmonize with your own nature.

As your awareness travels down your legs, explore the thickets of kelp forests and coral reefs. Feel yourself teeming with life. Your legs are a source of power and life force energy – They’re the closest to your feet.

When you reach your feet, rest in them. Feel the soles of your feet. Flex the soles of your feet. This is what you stand on. From here, all of you grows upward.

You’ve reached the floor of your Ocean-body. Say a silent gratitude.
Wiggle your toes and fingers to bring your awareness back to the rest of your body.

Moth

Find The Light

Moth

Irresistibly drawn to the flame that destroys it, Moth teaches the danger of uncontrolled attraction. Discern between genuine light and destructive allure.

When the Moth card appears, examine where you might be drawn to something dazzling but destructive. This could be a relationship, substance, ambition, or belief system that appears illuminating but ultimately harms you. The Moth card warns against mistaking intensity for importance, or confusing attraction with connection. Practice discernment between genuine light that guides and false brilliance that consumes. Ask yourself: Are you moving toward something because it truly serves your highest good or because you're simply captivated by its glow?

There may be bright possibilities that beckon to you now, and like the Moth, you may feel drawn toward their radiance. This pull is a natural part of the dance of life, containing both wisdom and risk.

Practice

  1. First, honor your natural attraction to light. Your soul recognizes truth and beauty instinctively, drawing you toward situations, people, and ideas that emanate authentic radiance. Trust your inner compass that orients you toward what truly illuminates your path. Notice what naturally draws your attention and energy: There is wisdom in this attraction.

  2. Second, develop discernment. Not all that glitters deserves your devotion. Some opportunities may shine brightly but lack substance; some paths may seem illuminated yet lead to depletion. Moth teaches us to ask: "Is this light one I can approach safely, or one that will consume me if I come too close?"
    Before committing your energy, pause to discern whether what attracts you offers sustainable illumination or momentary brilliance that may harm.

  3. Third, understand the power of focus. When Moth sees light, nothing else exists — it demonstrates single-minded devotion. This devotion has tremendous creative and transformative power when directed wisely. Practice giving your full presence to what matters most, rather than scattering your attention across many dimmer glimmers.

  4. Finally Moth teaches us about surrender — not the surrender of reckless abandon to worldly desires, but the surrender that comes from recognizing what truly deserves our devotion. When you find that true light, allow yourself to move toward it with the Moth's wholehearted commitment, holding nothing back.
    May your path be illuminated by lights that reveal truth without consuming your essence.

Bumblebee

Right Relationship

Air Card

Bumblebee gathers nectar without harming flowers, taking only what it needs while helping plants reproduce. True sustainability benefits all parties.

Observe how Bumblebee moves from flower to flower, taking only what is necessary without harming the blossom. It does not drain any single flower of all its nectar, sipping just enough before moving on.

From these small gatherings, it creates something of extraordinary sweetness and nourishment: Honey is a panacea to all of creation.

When Bumblebee appears, consider how you're interacting with your resources and environment. How are you contributing to the sources and resources that sustain you? How are you transforming what nourishes you into something new and beneficial to all? This card encourages mindful consumption and reciprocity. Bumblebee invites you to ensure that your actions benefit the community rather than depleting it. Like the Bee, develop focused discipline in gathering life's sweetness in a way that helps others flourish. This card may also speak to blossoming collaborative work, where your individual efforts contribute to collective success while meeting your personal needs.

Practice

Take a moment to think of all the experiences this week that have nourished you.
Perhaps a conversation with another, a fact you didn’t know before, or a moment of community that filled your cup.

Notice the spectrum of experiences and relationships that have fed you. The Bee collects from many different flowers to create the richest flavor – Similarly, your unique contribution to the world comes from this diversity of influences transformed by your own being.

Give thanks for all the experiences this week that have nourished you.

Bonus: Consider the balance of community and solitude in your world this week. Text a friend to call in the sweetness of connection, or cancel a plan to welcome the peace of stillness. Both are key building blocks in cultivating right relationship.

Elephant

Discernment in Desires

Elephant

Even the mighty Elephant can be led astray by longing. Great strength, without wisdom, becomes a trap.

Hunters know that even the most powerful Elephant can be captured through its yearning. Tempted by the scent or image of a mate, it walks willingly into snares. Elephant’s downfall is not lack of strength, but rather a moment of unguarded desire.

When Elephant appears, examine the places where your own power might be compromised by longing. Where are you experiencing craving – be it for sensual pleasure, external validation, or comfort – at the cost of clarity? This card teaches that even your greatest gifts can become liabilities when moved by impulse instead of intention.

Elephant asks you to honor the sacred weight of your own strength, and your desire. Remember: Power is not proven through pursuit, but through restraint. Power is forged in the moment you take to pause, discern, and choose the path of sovereignty.

Don’t get distracted. When your desire aligns with your truth, your own nature will be strengthened. That’s how you know.

Practice

Notice what you are reaching for this week.
When the ache for something arises, pause. Notice what it is you’re grasping for: Touch, recognition, relief?

Inhale. Ask: Is this a true need, or a temporary hunger?
Exhale. Trace your longing to its source: Does it point toward freedom, or away from it?

Let each breath anchor you more and more deeply into your discernment.

Honeybee

Impermanence of Possession

Honeybee

Honeybees labor all year to fill their hives with honey. Yet, ownership can be fleeting.

As Summer turns to Fall, other beings may attack the hive to steal for their own sustenance. Honeybees that hoard too much may become vulnerable to wasps, hornets, and even moths and ants in search of nourishment.

This card reminds us that the things we clutch – from wealth, to knowledge, belongings, and even legacies – are ultimately impermanent. What we claim as “ours” will one day pass to another. Our efforts may serve purposes beyond our grasp.

When Honeybee appears, it asks you to examine your relationship with accumulation. Are you gathering out of fear, or in trust? Are you building for collective nourishment – or simply stockpiling stuff you can’t carry with you?

Honeybee does not come to shame you, but to free you. Learn from its example: Let go of anxious possessiveness. Become a kind steward rather than a miserly hoarder.

Remember: Accumulation is not inherently wrong! Done right, it feeds the whole hive.
That said, accumulation of any resource must be in rhythm with the greater flow of life.
Generosity is its own reward.

Practice

Ball up your fist. Now, take stock of what you’re holding tightly this week.
Where is there an urge to keep, control, or claim?
Hold your fist tight.

Now ask: What might it feel like to loosen your grip… just slightly?
Breathe your fist loose. Slowly let your fingers fall open.
Shake out your hand.

If you feel called, you may choose an item, idea, or insight you’ve been guarding closely, and and offer it up this week. Pass on a book. Teach what you know. Share a snack.
Watch what opens up.

Deer

Listen Between Lines

Deer

Deer comes as a gentle warning: Not all that soothes is safe.
In the wild, it's said that hunters can capture Deer by the power of song alone. The hunter's song lulls Deer into a false sense of security. Entranced by the melody, the Deer lowers its guard... and is taken.

This card invites you to stay alert amidst pleasure.
Not all sweetness is sincere. Some siren songs are snares.

When Deer appears, examine where you might be lulled by flattery, convenience, or comfort. Is there something or someone you feel drawn to just because it sounds or feels good? This can also apply to institutions, systems, and roles.

You may be asked to trade your instinct, edge, or clarity for a false sense of importance or comfort. Sometimes these asks are indirect, or come cloaked in seeming-benefits. Remember that your authentic nature is never negotiable. Keep your soul about you.

Deer does not ask you to close your heart to the beauty and magic of the world. In fact, when safely resting, Deer can experience and offer powerful gentle presence and sensitivity to beauty.

Rather than close your heart, open your inner ears open: Hear between the lines.
Sense the energy behind the offering.

Let yourself enjoy beauty without becoming bewitched by it.

Practice

Tune Your Inner Ears.

Out loud: Say, "No, Thank You".

  • Now, put the emphasis on the first word: "No, Thank You."
  • Try again, emphasizing the second word: "No, Thank You."
  • Finally, emphasize the third word: "No, Thank You."

    • To close, take a moment in stillness, without sound.
    Let silence attune your inner ear, so you may better hear between the lines.

    Fish

    Learn From School

    Fish

    Even after watching others get hooked, the Fish still bites the bait. Why?

    The ocean is full of signs: fellow fishfolk caught, lines dangling, warnings floating nearby. Yet, craving has a special way of silencing caution. When Fish appears, consider what you have a taste for. Whether it’s the sweetness of attention, the spice of pursuit, or the comfort of the familiar, we may dive straight into what we know has harmed others.

    Fish asks: Where are you ignoring the tugs of intuition for a fleeting reward?
    What are the baits you take again and again?

    There’s a special subtle lesson here, in discerning instinct from impulse. True instinct protects. It knows when to walk away, even if the prize looks good.

    Fish also invites you to learn from others’ wins. Remember: Your own experience doesn’t have to be your only teacher. You can learn from others’ lived experience, by studying what has and has not worked for them. Nourish yourself with models and examples.

    Fish brings a particular blessing for students, apprentices, and those in learning: The gift of the right mentors, human and more-than-human, who can steer us away from pitffalls – and on paths that bring more life and

    Practice

    Find A New Current.

    Reflect on a pattern you’ve seen play out in others. It may be one one you’ve even warned against!

    Lay that pattern out in front of you, and observe:

  • Does it look familiar?
  • Where have you seen it before?
  • How does it make you feel?
  • Where might you be close to repeating it?

    Without judgement, see what comes up.
    From here, swim in clarity and awareness.

    • Pingala

    Dis-Illusionment

    Pingala

    Pingala is a courtesan, entertaining those who step through her doors. She adorns herself in jewels and perfume, offering beauty medicine to her patrons and enjoying their affections, gifts, and attentions in return.

    One night, Pingala waits hours for a patron who never arrives. Disillusioned, Pingala finally closes her doors to the outside world. In doing so, she returns to her awareness and cultivation of the Divine within herself.

    When Pingala appears, a disappointment or disillusionment may actually be your doorway to greater peace and understanding. When illusions clear away, you can finally see what’s true. This card suggests that expectations not being met at this time, whether in relationships, career, or personal works, might be redirecting you towards more authentic, luminous resources.

    Like Pingala, who renounced dependence on validation from the outside world, you may find deeper reserves of peace and power within. External forces may be unreliable while internal sources stay solid. The card speaks to a pivotal moment, where apparent failure transforms into profound spiritual opportunity if embraced with wisdom rather than bitterness.

    This is the wisdom of the closed door that allows truth and wisdom in.

    Practice

    Close old doors, close tabs.

    Let yourself sigh. Release the held breath of anticipation.

    notice when you feel anxious anticipation, that restless checking and rechecking whether someone or something has arrived to fulfill you.

    Maker

    One Mind

    Maker

    The Maker, a brilliant artisan of arrows, was so absorbed in their craft that they didn’t notice a whole procession passing by. Genius arrives of one mind: Through single-minded concentration that removes all irrelevant input.

    When the Maker is present, it’s time to develop laser-sharp focus on what truly matters. In a world of endless distractions the capacity to remain locked in becomes increasingly rare and valuable. Attention and intention both take practice, like arrows that make their mark.

    This card offers tunnel vision: An invitation to identify your most important objective and direct your attention toward it with a clarity and passion that melts distractions. Like the Maker who missed a whole procession, you’re called to cultivate a consuming concentration. Let the task at hand be more delicious than any feast.

    The Maker can also invite you to reclaim your attention. What loose threads have you been lost in? Has your focus been slipping into scrolls that don’t serve you? This is a potent moment to pivot back into your purpose, and move forward relentlessly.

    Practice

    Choose a task – it can be as simple as cutting vegetables, or sweeping – and do it as a ritual for a few days. Every time you practice the task, call your attention back to you.

    Let it absorb you. Turn off tech. Let the world fall away.

    Let your breath fall into the rhythm of your task. Feel your full attention.

    Feel your full attention.

    Spider

    Create and Dissolve

    Spider

    Spider produces a web from within, lives within that creation, and eventually reabsorbs it. We too project our reality from consciousness, experience it, and ultimately dissolve it.

    When Spider appears, consider the reality you’re creating from your own consciousness. What spinning mental and emotional patterns have become your lived experience? This card is an invitation to account for your projections rather than seeing them as external, unchangeable realities. Like Spider, know that what you've created can also be reabsorbed or recreated differently. You can re-pattern at any time. You can change your mind.

    Imagination unlocks Spider’s power. What worlds are you weaving? What chasms can you bridge by building into possibility? What shapes do you inhabit?

    This power brings both freedom and responsibility. In knowing your experience is your consciousness, the the importance of clarity and compassion becomes urgent.

    Practice

    SPIDER IMAGINATION PRACTICE HELLLLOOOOO

    Practice identifying where you've externalized internal patterns and reclaim the power to reshape them. The spider also taught me about the relationship between creation and letting go. She creates her masterpiece knowing it is temporary, that she may need to consume it and begin again. This teaches perfect non-attachment to creative work—you pour your essence into it completely, yet hold it lightly. Visualize a golden thread flowing from your heart center. See this thread as inexhaustible—the more you draw from it, the more abundant it becomes.

    Beetle

    Transformative Awareness

    Beetle

    One day, a caterpillar got stuck in Beetle's home. As baby catterpiller watched Beetle continuously buzzing around, baby caterpillar became fixated on Beetle. You become what you contemplate: baby caterpillar experienced transformative attention met by intention. As they grew, they became like Beetle: The observer comes to embody their observation.

    When the Beetle card appears, carefully curate what occupies your thoughts, as you become what you consistently contemplate. This card highlights the tremendous power of focused attention and reminds you to direct it consciously rather than allowing it to ruminate and run in old patterns. Like the caterpillar that transforms into what it obsessively attends to, your mind shapes itself around its most frequent objects of attention.

    Choose wisely what you allow to occupy your mental space, knowing that your very nature is being reshaped by these choices.

    Likewise, choose consciously the utopias you wan project into z world

    Raven

    Surrender

    Raven

    Raven soared the sky with delicious fresh flesh in its beak – and within moments was swarmed and pursued by other hungry birds. Weary, Raven released the flesh. In that instant, Raven felt peace.

    When Raven appears, they bring a sharp, sobering truth. What you carry may be the cause of your suffering. You may think you are protecting something precious, yet find that it also draws in conflict, competition, and restlessness. This card shows that peace does not always come from gaining, but from relinquishing.

    Consider the role of competition in your life at this time. Is it

    Raven’s reminder: Clinging that brings chaos. In chasing pleasure, we invite pursuit. In surrender, we return to stillness.

    Child

    Now

    Child

    The Child moves swiftly through emotions: crying one moment, laughing the next. There is no shame in expression, no clinging to the past, no fear of the future. Only this breath, this sensation, this joy. When Child appears, it calls you back to Now.

    To the innocent awareness that meets each moment as new. In a world built on projection and performance, Child invites you to drop the mask and return to the raw aliveness beneath.

    The Child knows no concept of failure—only the thrill of trying. They work when inspired, rest when tired, and share their creations with fearless pride. There is no comparison, only curiosity. No striving, only play.

    This card encourages emotional fluidity, present-moment awareness, and natural rhythms. Drop the narrative. Let delight lead you. Begin again.

    Practice

    Today, create something small—a sketch, a sound, a moment of movement.

    Share it without perfectionism. Not for praise, but for the joy of sharing.

    Bonus: When in doubt, ask yourself: What would feel simple and joyful rightNow? Follow that thread.

    Maiden

    Simplify : : Harmonize

    Snake

    The Maiden stood at her hearth, preparing a meal. Her arms, adorned with bangles from countless celebrations, clattered with every motion—distracting her, disturbing the peace. So, she removed them, keeping only two. Silence returned. Her movements grew precise.

    When Maiden appears, it signals a time to simplify.

    Where in your life are you wearing too many bangles? Where has beauty become burden, or abundance become noise?

    This card invites you to release the excess—possessions, thoughts, tasks, relationships, or responsibilities—that are clashing against one another and scattering your energy.

    The bangles made noise not alone, but in multiplicity. So too the mind: when tugged in many directions, it cannot be at peace. But with fewer intentions—aligned and clear—it becomes quiet, focused, and powerful.

    Maiden teaches: in simplicity, there is strength.

    Practice

    Choose one area of life to declutter—your schedule, workspace, digital world, or inner dialogue.

    Ask: What is essential? What is merely clattering around me?

    Snake

    Meet Each Moment

    Snake

    Snake medicine is presence and motion. Snake carries no baggage, no blueprint. They make no home, moving silently through sheltered hollows, burrows, and sun-warm stone. This card is a call to fluidity – Ready and free to shift, they meet each moment fresh.

    Snake comes with an invitation into the new. Freedom does not always come from leaving, but from loosening. As we shed old skins, roles, and rigidities, we reveal the living truth underneath. When the Snake card appears, examine where attachments to permanence might be limiting your freedom. Like the serpent that occupies burrows temporarily without claiming ownership, practice moving through life without excessive identification with places, possessions, or fixed identities. It might be time for a new sense of self.

    Where is your attention split, keeping you from experiencing the fullness of the present? What are you clinging to, be itidentity, place, relationship, or possession, that might be keeping you moving into your next evolution? This card suggests cultivating presence to navigate life's changes with grace rather than resistance.

    Body

    Listen

    The Body

    The Body: Flesh, breath, bone, and a heart that remembers.

    Neither machine, nor burden: Body is a vessel, a home, a compass.

    When The Body appears, it asks you to listen gently, curiously, and without agenda. The Body speaks in tightness, warmth, ache. This card calls you into conversation with sensation.

    Whether living with chronic pain, vibrant energy, changing ability, or quiet fatigue, The Body is wise and whole.

    Practice:

    Come home to your body with care.
    Place a hand on your chest, your belly, or anywhere that calls for comfort. Breathe there. Ask: What do you need today? Then listen. Not to fix, but to hear.

    Bonus: Move how you love to move — whether it’s dancing, stretching, swaying, stillness. Let your body speak its language without needing translation or improvement. Let it be enough.

    Avadhūta

    The Drunken Sage

    Snake

    The wandering mystic: One who stays intoxicated by all of creation!
    Drink deeply from Life itself. There is ecstasy in every drop.

    Living between borders, in margins and undercommons.
    Laughing with trees, sleeping with stars, praying in poetry.
    Once when asked, “Who taught you?”
    Avadhūta counted.... twenty-four! And more!

    When each moment is a new lesson, each leaf a scripture, Life itself is the guru.
    The Drunken Sage reminds you that the mundane is the path. Find euphoria in each small morsel of your experience.

    Sovereign in spirit and free from alleigance to any obligation, nation, caste or creed, Avadhūta bows to no king, no institution: Only to wonder.

    The Drunken Sage speaks in riddles, sings without reason, and recites spontaneous revelations in the middle of the road. Their wisdom is wild, their truth is alive.

    When this card appears, you are invited to break the form. Go off script. Forget the rules and follow the rhythm. Live what wants to live through you.

    Practice:
    Freewrite. Fill two full sheets—front and back! Four pages total.
    No judgment. No edits. Just pen on page, pure presence.
    Let ink be your wine. Let your spirit speak.

    Story

    Transmission

    Story

    Story arrives like a breeze across skin—familiar, shape-shifting, and always on the move.

    It is memory braided into motion: muscle memory, heart memory, ancestral remembering. It moves through generations, through gestures, through breath. It is the voice that keeps culture alive. It evolves in every telling.

    When Story appears, you are being called to remember. To trace the lines behind the lines. To enter the spiral rather than the straight path.
    You may find yourself drifting—this is part of Story’s nature. It wanders, doubles back, weaves between worlds. Like a stream, it makes its own course, reshaping the land as it moves.

    Story belongs to the Avadhūta, to the bard, to the grandmother, to the child. It lives in everyone who dares to speak from the soul. To share without certainty. To let truth take on form and fly.

    Story is not about facts—it is about feeling.

    Practice
    Speak a story aloud today.
    It can be your own or someone else’s. Let it evolve as you tell it.
    Don’t rehearse. Let it come alive in the moment. Notice where you get moved.
    Where you forget. Where you embellish. Where you return.

    That’s the memory working its way out through you.

    Scroll

    Witness & Word

    Scroll

    The Scroll carries weight. It is the spell of the written word—fixed, etched, archived. It can immortalize beauty or weaponize belief. It is a record, a relic, a portal.

    Some scrolls are written by poets. Others by conquerors.
    Both shape what we remember.

    When the Scroll appears, it asks you to read deeply. Read between lines. Know that every document holds the hand of its maker. And you—yes, you—are a maker too.

    The Scroll is sacred, but not always truthful. It reminds you that what is written is not always what is right. That stories preserved can also be stories distorted. Still, it is a tool of great alchemy—especially for the Maker, the Child, and the Courtesan. You are invited to write your own.

    This very page is a Scroll. Let it reflect your own becoming.

    Practice
    Engage with a text today—your journal, an article, a page from a book.
    Read it critically. Ask: Who wrote this? For whom? What was left out?
    Then, write something of your own. Not to prove a point, but to reclaim your perspective.

    Your word is sacred. Say it with care.

    Silence

    Before the Word

    Silence

    Silence is not absence. It is origin.
    Before there was a world, there was this.
    Before song, speech, spell, or scream—Silence.

    Silence is the home before home.
    The final teacher of the Avadhūta. The breath between the lines.
    It is what holds all things and no thing at once.

    When Silence appears, you are being asked to stop listening for words.
    Start listening for presence. You may notice the rustling of leaves, the hum of a fridge, the ache in your back, the thought just beneath a thought. All of it is part of the quiet.

    Silence doesn’t mean stillness. It means tuning in.
    It doesn’t mean absence. It means presence—so vast it needs no sound.

    Practice
    Close your eyes.
    For the next few minutes, do nothing but listen. Listen with your skin. Listen with your bones.
    Notice every detail of the noise around you—not to label, but to feel.

    Then, notice what remains beneath it.
    That’s Silence. And it’s waiting to hold you.

    Author’s Note

    This project began with a breadcrumb.
    I felt drawn to the timeless archetype of the wandering mystic, the catalytic messenger:
    Beings who move between systems and listen to trees, learning from stars and dust alike.
    Those who cultivate and treasure Life, unafraid of its ebbs and flows.

    In my exploration, I met the Avadhūta: A true student to all of Life.
    This being is the Drunken Sage, intoxicated by the symphony of creation.
    Their scripture is direct experience, and their lineage the Earth itself.
    This perspective felt like an antidote to the casteist and classist patterns of exclusion that often gatekeep mystical experience. It felt like an invitation to find new forms on several levels: From research to ritual practice to design development, I found myself developing new ways of engaging with this archetype and its magic.

    I began with direct experience: Meditating on the archetype and key Oracles.

    I then shifted into research and development. Led to the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and Avadhūta Gītā as source reference texts, I began reading between lines.

    Critical context: In my humble view, scriptures and the written word are often a game of telephone across time and space, typically facilitated by men. History is held hostage by violent victors. And some of our most powerful prophets - especially queer voices, women, femmes, trans and two-spirit folks - have been purposefully erased.

    That said, these texts offered me a unique permission slip. My exploration of a timeless archetype led to a kind of rewilding: A call to sovereign relationship with Earth.

    The Earth was always my compass and North Star.
    As a child experiencing grief, I found profound resonance, support, and soothing in the land and nature spirits around me. Eventually, I went on to get a degree in Environmental Design at UC Berkeley. And I worked on Environmental Justice, Planning and Development projects for 8 years, to bring health and healing to communities most impacted by inequitable development, and to the land spirits themselves. This project is an extension of this work, and of my lifelong focus on Spiritual Ecology.

    Over the years I've asked again and again:
    How do we live in right relationship with all of Life?
    This deck is my answer in 2025.

    It's in dialogue with the Avadhūta’s observations of nature, it allowed me to open my own faculties of observation and sensation of the natural world. More importantly, it invites you to deepen your own intimate relationship with creation: A reminder of your own precious, sacred direct experience.

    On Tech & Code for More Life

    These teachings were born into the in-between: Into this digital sanctuary.

    This was an intentional integration, not just of my skills as a mythologist and researcher, but as a designer and futurist. My goal was to bring premodern practice to a future-facing interface. This is a prototype for how ancient patterns might meet emergent forms.

    Raised in the Silicon valley, I never saw our collective ancient worlds and our collective futures as being at odds. I’ve always been curious about how technological tools and digital spaces might root us more deeply into ourselves. And I’ve also long been critical of whose imaginations we allow to shape our images of the future.

    Design futurism, rooted in speculative design and diegetic prototyping, is a practice of building what-could-be; Heterotopias and scenarios that imagine beyond current norms. This digital deck is such a speculative artifact: a rigorous portal, a ritual interface. This project truly sits at the growing edge of my practice as a maker of meaning, a keeper of stories, and a translator between worlds. Writing code to hold spirit felt like living a sci-fi romantasy, and it felt so right. We’re officially LIVE at the intersection of art and technology, ancient and future, ritual and research. I’m so glad to be here with you.

    So that’s what this design and interface is: A soft technology. A ritual space.
    A reminder that even in the glow of a screen, we can center and remember our ongoing, cosmological conversation with the more-than-human world.

    Excavation: A DESIGN ARCHEOLOGY

    Upon completion of this body of work, I took a look back at my journey of creation. I wanted to draw out some key learnings from the Maker in me. Here they are:

  • Relational Creation

    This deck didn’t emerge in isolation: It’s woven from the treads of ancestral texts (Bhāgavatam, Avadhūta Gītā), Earth‑care practices my friends and community have taught me, Environmental Justice principles I’ve studied and practiced across my professional life, digital interface design I’ve been practicing quietly for eons, land spirits I’ve cultivated connection with, and movements for More Life. Each card is a braiding of all these lineages and lifeways. I don’t create alone.

  • Process Over Product

    Design isn’t just the final form; it’s the lived experience. Each project is a reflection of my personal process, and a testament to all the growth catalyzed in me. Drawing from archaeological thinking, this project foregrounds process: It’s field notes in nature, prototype coding sessions, and iterative revisions. From Design Dreaming to Design Doing, I learned by making, unmaking, and re-scaffolding.

  • Future‑Forward Timescales

    There’s no linear past-to-present narrative here. We see time as scrolled up, unfurling as we walk. Similarly, this deck is a cultural participant: Simultaneously shaping and being shaped by our relationships with Earth, with tech, with justice, and with the deep unknown. Each interaction, from tapping a card, to journaling, to stepping outside, is a moment of co-creation with this body of work.

    • On Futuring The Archives

    This deck also began in revolt against the polished, hierarchical Brahminical systems of spiritual gatekeeping, and the neocolonial forces that arm them. I’ve long understood that scrolls and scriptures are echoes and enforcements of power, often omitting whole worlds.
    I was seeking for something grounded in nature, and alive.

    We live in a moment when archives are being reimagined as sites of justice. The archive elevates ancestral voices and perspectives that were once overlooked or buried; It preserves legacies of the chosen ancestors we embrace.This deck does not pretend to be neutral. It speaks to lineage and power, without bypass. It centers direct experience and Earth wisdom as remembrance, rather than reaction.

    Weaving ancient teachings through modern screens is a form of speculative ritual futurism. This is futuring that isn’t about escaping to space. By layering code, myth, and earth-based practices, this deck becomes a gentle, soft tech tool: Proof that digital artifacts can Earth us instead of alienating us. The archives, even in digital form, can call us more deeply into the present — and keep us in emergent alignment with the Earth itself.

    Writing this deck felt like walking through a garden or forest with a journal in hand (and sometimes, that’s exactly what it was). Each card riffed off my own curiosity, as much as the Avadhūta’s: “How is the wind speaking?” “How do we listen beneath the silence?”
    And each Oracle invited me into a practice.

    There’s a sweetness to learning from the Earth: There are no gurus, and no grades.
    Just honest attention and reverence. I hope this space brings a resonant nourishing sweetness: No dopamine traps. Just a quiet digital space designed to slow you down, invite presence, and recenter you in the Body, the Earth, and the living world within and beyond this scroll.

    Thank You Dearly for joining me on this journey.
    I hope you enjoy this space as much as I loved creating it.

    with love,
