Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate - Carl Jung Hello friends! In today’s episode we are discussing Oracle cards! Now, you may be wondering why we are starting with Oracle Cards (and maybe even “What the heck are Oracle cards?”) and not Tarot Cards. Well, Crystal explains the very reasoning behind that, and thankfully Sheena is wonderfully supportive and explains the difference between Tarot and Oracle cards. Also, this audio can be choppy at times yet hilarious as Crystal keeps getting booted out of the call. But alas, we made it through to the end with lots of laughs in between. One of the best pieces of advice to get out of this episode is to look out for fake tarot and oracle decks – don’t fall for a dupe deck! There are art/design thieves out there. Be sure to do your research before purchasing a deck to be sure you’re buying for the real creator.

You can look through different kinds of decks and choose one that speaks to you. The Threads of Fate – Sheena has several decks from them, and they are all outstanding quality.

This will begin on your birthday and continue through to your next birthday. For example, Sheena’s birthday is December 23rd so 12+23+2022 is the calculation for this current year. It will shift to 12+23+2023 in December of 2023.
