Only 12 decks will be available.
Each deck includes 44 oracle cards featuring original artwork and a 57-page companion guidebook, created as a tool for reflection, transition, grief, transformation, and the liminal spaces between what was and what is (un)becoming.
Please note: this limited store edition does not include the hand-grown bismuth crystals offered with the original edition of the deck but may include a surprise and small complimentary gift.

For a limited time, step into a in person 30-minute oracle reading created for moments of transition, uncertainty, and becoming. Together, we’ll explore the crossroads you’re standing at, what may be asking to be released, what is emerging, and what wisdom can be found within the liminal space between where you’ve been and where you’re going.
Limited spots available throughout October 2026.
