Oracle of Shadows & Light


Oracle of Shadows & Light
Lucy Cavendish
Artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith


I discovered this lovely oracle deck at a very hard time in my life. My brother was very sick and the little Strangelings in this deck brought me great comfort. When I opened the box for the first time i had a wonderful surprise. I had two of the number one card. I took it as a sign and put the extra one in a little frame that still sits on my night stand. I look at this image every night and count my blessings.




Here are a few more images from this beautiful deck of Shadows and Light. I like the mixture of Gothic and Steampunk in this deck. All of the cards are beautiful and are well worth the buy.




This card kept showing up towards the last days of my brothers life on this earthly plain. I prayed to Saint Death to make  it as easy on him as possible.  My dear brother passed away on October 4, 1910 surrounded by his loving family. He will be forever missed. This card will always remind of the last days I got to spend with him. Bitter sweet
memories.

    I'm so very sorry for loss. I can't even start to imagine what that must be like. No one should lose family this way.

    Hi Moncha

    Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. It is getting harder the closer it gets to the date of his death. I just take it one day at a time and enjoy my family, the most important thing in the world to me.

    Thanks for popping by & leaving some encouragement for me. ^-^

    These cards are just wonderful! I am madly in love & am going to have to get myself a deck. They're just fantastic!

    I'm sorry to hear that your brother has passed on. He's lucky to have a sister like you, though, which I'm sure gave him strength.

    XOXO

    Hi The Black Duchess

    thank you so much for the kind words. i was the lucky one to have a brother like him.

    There are many more beautiful cards in this deck. these two women have another one out. I think it's The Shapeshifter Oracle. Only Blue Angel Publishing has it for now. Looks like another beautiful deck I'm gonna have to get.
