My first ever oracle deck which started my journey in card making. One day I just got an idea to make my own set of cards and so I grabbed a bunch of magazines and cut out random messages which I felt resonated with me. I just love the randomness! There are cards speaking of green tomatoes, aliens or hearing properly.
As for technical aspects, all the cards were cut out by me, the illustrations on each card were 100% improvised with a pen and two markers and the back features a lino print of a star I carved for another project. Note to self- don’t use professional black ink for printing if you want to use your cards soon! And if you like to keep things tidy. Otherwise you’ll have black smudges everywhere.
*if you can’t read Polish I added descriptions to the photos, translating the text!
‘A green tomato, just not mature yet, not sweet. However, it can be used for marinades, for salads or fancy jams.’ This card tells me something is not mature yet and needs time. And I just love these little green tomatoes! ‘Tell me, do you like yourself? Do you know your true desires? Are you a friend and support for yourself?’ My self worth card. ‘Mindfulness Area’ Just slow down and notice what is around you. ‘Here you will receive help’ and ‘helping hand’. I felt like drawing an angel and I did! Help from the heavens is coming! ‘At last I appreciate silence… The buzz in my ears is gone!’ An ad for a hearing aid or something similar. A card which tells me all the outside noise is gone and you can focus on your inner voice. ‘Close encounters with a star’. A very similar meaning to the Star card in Tarot. Your wish will be granted!
