It’s Here!!

It’s officially here. My birthday was a great one! Last night I had a low-key dinner with friends (on our usual Thursday night social outing) and my lovely boyfriend had cake that was from a local bakery, and it was delicious! (Though I don’t think anyone ate all the icing!)

And I was able to push the launch button on my package deal for my oracle and tarot readings! Check it out!!

If you want to feel like you’ve got a Modern-Day Oracle in your pocket, a Spiritual Consultant that delivers right to your inbox, this is for you.

If you want a yearly overview, followed by a monthly subscription of insights, advice, and tidbits from the spirit world, this package is for you.

If you want to be able to keep these readings forever, to reference back to them when you’re going through (or made it through) your tough time, this is for you.

If you want small check-ins along the way, just to confirm a hunch, or to shed some new light to the situation, this is for you.

If you’ve got a BIG question–like life-changing BIG–I’ve got you covered, and this is for you.

If you like unique and personalized results in a world where you may seem like you’re just a number, this is a great gift for YOU.

Interested? This LIMITED TIME offer is available until Sunday, Feb 28th at 11:59 PM. Check out the full details here.

Thanks! And Happy Friday!!

How I Choose a Deck (NSFW)

Hola! I’m so jittery from excitement over my FIRST LAUNCH of my BDAY PACKAGE DEAL for my oracle/tarot readings! Or, maybe, I’ve had too much coffee this morning…or maybe so much good is happening in my life right now that I’m just electric. Or tomorrow’s my birthday. Or ALL OF THE THINGS!!

Either way, I thought I’d push the pause button on getting ready for the launch to bring you: How I Choose a Tarot or Oracle Deck. You can read about what decks I have to choose from here.

So, here goes.

Honestly, a lot of the choosing I do is purely based off of intuition and gut feeling. I have a situation or a specific question I would like some insight on, and I go with the deck that feels the best. If you were to ask me for a reading, but didn’t have a specific deck in mind, I would usually ask what type of topic or question you have, and go from there. Sometimes, if I’m reading for my friends, I just dive right in with the deck that feels the best for their situation at the moment.

Here is what I tend to do beyond that.

If I’ve got a sensitive question, or a friend that isn’t into divination or is really vulnerable right now, I use the Archangel Oracle Deck. These cards are really great at giving a gentle push in the right direction, and are like the best friend that knows what to say to help you on your way.

20160222_095213.jpg
Sorry, guys, can’t seem to get this to show up as a landscape picture. Bummer.

If I’ve got a question regarding relationships or love life, I go to the Psychic Tarot for the Heart Oracle Deck. That’s what these cards were programmed for, and they’re great at fostering self-love, too.

20160222_093439.jpg

For a look inward, or spiritual retreat, I either choose the Heart of Faerie Oracle or the Enchanted Map Oracle.

Samplings from The Heart of Faerie Oracle

Now, on to the tarot decks…

If I want a straightforward and honest answer, I go to the Tarot of the Elves. Not a lot of people can handle the artwork of these cards, however, so be aware that they may not always appear friendly. These cards will help in their own way, so I am comfortable enough to have them available for friends and customers alike.

20160222_105546

For female empowerment, or to get in touch with one’s inner goddess, I suggest the Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck. This is also a great deck when it comes to community circles.

20160222_104510.jpg

The Circle of Life Tarot Deck is a great deck for a unique perspective. The artwork tends to make one think about life in a different way, and gives great advice that makes one look at the bigger picture of things.

20160222_103203

The Gateway to the Divine Tarot has a fresh and crisp look to it, as well, and takes one on a journey to greater understanding. I use this deck when I need to ask on practical matters like career or finances, but it would also be a great choice if you simply like this kind of artwork.

20160222_111928

Finally, the Mystic Dreamer Tarot Deck is a great all-around choice, and has softer artwork and a gentle personality, great enough for a first-time reader. This is the deck that serves as my go-to for whenever I’m not quite sure what deck to use, and is great for any topic or question.

20160222_112845

So, there you have it! Please take your time when choosing a question for each reading. The cards will be able to tap into what you’re truly asking, so make sure you know the difference between what you want to hear and what you need to hear, as well!

I hope to see you all there for my launch! Keep an eye open on my Etsy shop all weekend for the official launch of the product (tonight? tomorrow morning?) at 12:01 AM EST for the oracle and tarot package deal. Deal is over at 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, Feb 28th.

Hope you all can make it!

With love and excitement,
Jessi

Meet The Decks! Pics NSFW ;)

Hello, all! I’m so excited you’re reading this today! This is going to be an AWESOME post. But don’t just take my word on it, no…keep reading, and let me know what you think!

Today, I will be showing you LOTS of pictures and telling you a little bit about each deck that I currently have available at the SH shop. My hope is that it will help those that are future customers decide which deck they’d like to use, and it doesn’t hurt to have some pretty pictures lying around showing what beautiful artwork I get to work with every day.

Alright, enough of the jaw-flapping, let’s get on with the cards!

First things first, I’ll share the oracle decks that I have available.

I’ll start with The Heart of Faerie Oracle Deck by Brian and Wendy Froud.

20160222_092839

If you’re into tarot and oracle at all, you’ve probably seen their work before. It’s definitely iconic faerie work, and I’m proud to have this deck in my toolbox.

20160222_092752

With beautiful pictures, each faerie image invites you to look within yourself and question your beliefs about the Universe and how it works, and what your part is in it.

20160222_092749

This is a deck that has been really helpful to me when I need to take a look within.

20150915_105258

Next, The Psychic Tarot for the Heart Oracle Deck by John Holland.

20160222_093439

Though the title has the word “tarot” in it, this is really an oracle deck–it just so happens to have a lot of ties to the more traditional tarot decks.

20160222_094052

This deck is really a go-to for anything relationships, as the name may suggest. Romantic, work-related, and friendship relationships–these cards LOVE questions regarding the intimate, emotional, and spiritual connections we make with ourselves and with others.

The Enchanted Map Oracle Deck by Colette Baron-Reid is next.

20160222_100254.jpg
…apparently this site doesn’t like landscape pictures. Sorry, guys! 😦

My friend Sam loves this deck…particularly this card below:

20160222_100333

I love the artwork in this deck. It’s a unique style with lots of symbolism and bright colors. Look at the reading I received this morning, below.

20160222_100905.jpg
…again with the landscape pictures thing. Oh well!

Last, but not least, with my oracle decks is the Archangel Oracle Deck by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

20160222_095213.jpg

This deck holds a special place in my heart because of its softer nature.

20160222_095321

For those looking for a first-time reading from me, who may have some apprehensiveness regarding  the art of divination.

20160222_095416

It’s also a great go-to deck for those who are going through a rough time and need gentle guidance.

And now, we’re moving on to the tarot decks of the SH world!

First, my first round tarot deck: The Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck.

20160222_104025
…again with the not liking of the landscape pics. 😦

20160222_103958

 

For this deck, I do read the traditional Charge of the Goddess poem while shuffling each time. I’ve found it helps me connect with the cards and focus more on what they have to tell me. (Some images NSFW.)

20160222_104408

I’ve found that this deck is best for those open and willing to accept the feminine power in their lives and open to viewing life as circular.

20160222_104554

Next, my other round deck: The Circle of Life Tarot from Lo Scarabeo.

20160222_102446

20160222_102440.jpg

This has some awesome artwork, though this wouldn’t be safe for work, either.

20160222_103203

Some of my friends like these images, as well.

20160222_103211

These cards are great at giving advice, and calling it like it is. No BS from these cards, at all!

Next, the Tarot of the Elves by Mark McElroy (artwork by Davide Corsi)

20160222_105243.jpg

This was one of my first tarot decks, and it was a great one to learn on. The book itself is unique and was great because it led the reader on a journey throughout each suit.

20160222_105627.jpg

The crisp, clean artwork has a unique quality, too, though I wouldn’t recommend this deck to newcomers, unless you REALLY like Elves.

20160222_105546.jpg

Next, another great deck: The Gateway to the Divine Tarot by Ciro Marchetti.

20160222_111028[1].jpg

This deck is so cool. I was really looking forward to getting this deck because of the artwork. Little did I know that the book would be such a great help, too.

20160222_111036

The crisp imagery on the cards allows to look deeper into the symbolism. These cards would be great to look into for any subject or question.

20160222_111928

And, last, but not least…

The Mystic Dreamer’s Tarot Deck by Barbara Moore

20160222_112446.jpg

This deck is so special to me–it was my first tarot deck! I’ve learned so much from this deck in the past and it has helped me with so much! I’m so excited to keep learning from it. This deck is so special to me that it deserves its own special box, shown below.

20160222_112244
Shout-out to Tammy at Uniquely Handmade for the awesomesauce box I’ve got here.

20160222_11242520160222_112340

And now for more card images:

20160222_112845

These cards are typically my go-to when I’m not sure which deck would be best. If I don’t have a strong feeling to use a certain deck for each question, I’ll usually use this one because it’s the one I know the best and is a great deck that can be used for anyone.

20160222_112851

So, there you have it! I’ve showed you some of the beautiful cards I get to work with on a daily basis, and told you a little about them. Later this week I’ll give a short blurb as to how I choose a deck and what things I consider when trying to decide which deck to use.

I hope you all have found this reading helpful, and I hope you will check out the launch, which will take place starting at 12:01 EST on Thursday, Feb 25th (MY BIRTHDAY!!) and ending at 11:59 Sunday, Feb 28th. Please check out the package launch details at this blog post here.

Oracle Package Details!!

Hello, all!

First off, so sorry it’s taken me a long time to get this penned (or typed) out! I’ve got myself in a bit of a habitual groove, so hopefully I’ll be better at including the blog in future weeks!

Now, for the details on my Oracle Package launch that is happening in ~13 days!!!

20150924_131613.jpg

First off, the features: What exactly do you get with this purchase?

~~ A 12-Month Overview Reading (delivered within a week or two of purchase)
~~ TWELVE (12) 3-Card Advice Readings (delivered as a monthly subscription)
~~ SIX (6) Anytime 1-Card Check-In Readings (shoot me an email with a quick check-in question or situation, and I’ll deliver your reading pronto!)
~~ A Big-Question 15-Card Tree Advice Reading (again, email me with your question and you’ll receive the answer ASAP)
~~ BONUS: For the first 26 customers who sign up, you’ll also receive THREE (3) 7-Card Tree Advice Readings (also via fast-as-a-hare email)
***All readings will have detailed pictures of each card, as well as a breakdown of what each card means, it’s position in the reading, and an overview of the entire reading, as well. All readings are delivered by email as a .PDF file.***

All in all, the entire package deal is worth $138 (or $183 for the first 26 customers).

I’m going to offer these package deals at $100.

That’s just greater than a 25% off sale, even if you aren’t one of the first 26 customers.

If you are one of thew first lucky few, that’s a savings of 55%.

20150915_105258

 

Next, the benefits: Who is this best for? And why you should invest in this year-long subscription?

This package deal is a great investment for those who want regular spiritual check-ins to help keep you on your truest Path. If you like having regular access to your personal spiritual consultant (or would like to try having such access for the first time!), this package deal will be an excellent fit into your spiritual life. I’ve made this package to be an encouragement when the suckies strike, a thought-provoking way of connecting with the Universe, and a uniquely personalized style of divine interaction.

It’s as if you have access to a spiritual guidance counselor, or, as I’d like to call myself, a Modern-Day Oracle…complete with delivery right to your inbox. With access to smart phones, these days, connecting with the divine can be as easy as reaching into your pocket.

Naturally, you would get all the personalization available when you choose this package deal–that means you’d get to choose your deck for each reading, and each reading will be individualized and connected to your Yearly Overview reading and past monthly readings. (I keep very detailed records to help me connect with each customer so I can be more in tune with what life has in store for you!)

20150915_105826.jpg

Okay, okay, so I’ve convinced you…

So when is the big launch, exactly?

The Oracle Package will launch opens at 12:01 AM EST on Thursday, February 25th and closes at 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, February 28th. You can keep an eye for the launch package to show up here on my Etsy shop.

As always, keep up-to-date on all launch details here, and on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

I’m doing this awesome launch to help me celebrate my 26th birthday (that’s why the first 26 customers get an extra sweetener), so please spread the word to those who would benefit from this awesome subscription.

Loving blessings,
Jessi
Spark and Faithful
