The Void witch oracle deck
My current project is to create a set of 42 cards using collage that explore the convergence of gnostic and esoteric cosmology for the creative heart. Here is a taster of what is to come...
This deck is an invitation into mystery without fear.
It does not divide the world into light and shadow, saint and devil, chaos and heaven. Instead, it offers living scenes—vignettes of becoming—through which you may witness, feel, and recognise your own knowing.
These cards arise from ancient rhythms: pagan, embodied, theatrical, and initiatory. Like the mystery schools, they teach through encounter rather than command, through curiosity rather than control. Approach them with softness and attention. Let them reconnect you to your primal, sensing self—one that celebrates cycles, harvests meaning in its own time, and learns to redirect energy by marrying shadow and light within the same living body.
There is nothing here to conquer, purify, or transcend.
Only something to meet.

Arcarnum of Descent
The place where consciousness must descend before anything can begin.
Two silent watchers sit at either side of the womb-door, mirroring you, doubling you, refusing to answer you. They are not guardians but witnesses. They do not open the threshold — you open it by falling.
THE HANDS OF KNOWING
Inner Pattern Recognition
This card asks you to stop seeking outside yourself.
Set aside books, opinions, noise, teachers, lovers, critics, distractions.
You are ready to see the pattern because you are becoming the pattern.
Divinatrix Ferina
Arcanum of Primal Knowing
Her sight comes from instinct, from the wild pulse beneath the surface of things. Her horned face, her heavy mane, her exposed body all speak of a knowledge unashamed, unrefined, essential. She is the witch before the witch had a name.
The serpent priestess
She moves low to the earth, feeling the tremors of change before they reach the surface. Her knowledge is not conceptual — it is vibrational. She listens through her skin. She reads the world through sensation, through heat, through the quiver of possibility beneath her.
The Seer
oracle of time and space
She does not predict — she attunes.
Her power lies in her ability to slip between layers of reality, reading the shifting patterns of time and space with clarity and calm. She gazes not into the future, but into the present’s deeper architecture, where all possibilities shimmer at once.
FORTITUDO MONSTRI
Strength of the Monster
Your weirdness is not an error.
It is the architecture of your magic.
The masked navigator
The Navigator lives between water, air, body, and spirit. It knows how to shift form with purpose, never losing its centre.
The sacred egg
This card marks a time of incubation and quiet power.
You are carrying something real — protect it, and let it come in its own time.
Clāvis interior
This is the card of the watcher: alert, sovereign, and self-possessed.
The key is already in your hands — silence and timing are your power- choose with joy
Porta Eros
A desire is awakening in you — You use your hunger to draw energy out of a situation, or dynamic.
Not necessarily malicious — but seductive, consuming, extracting--To feed the hunger that has been starving for expression.
Umbra Oculi
This card reminds you that insight doesn’t have to be serious to be true.
You’re in the flow — let curiosity, softness, and pleasure guide the integration.
PYthonissa
The Temple Within appears when old structures fall away with ease.
Your wisdom is alive in the body now — spiral into it, enjoy it, and let it move you.

TRIA SOPHIAE
Intelligence is no longer abstract, and insight no longer waits in books.
Lean in with intelligent curiosity — certainty is not required.
Somniatrix
The dreamer here is not lost in fantasy; she is mid-air, conscious, suspended by trust. She gathers material from the dreamworld (symbols, textures, moods, archetypes) and hangs them to dry in the waking world so they can be worn, lived, and made useful.
Lupas vigilat
The knowing has teeth.
It does not rush you-The wolf is already near.
Notice what moves toward you without fear
Hypatia- devotion to work
You are not required to convince, only to create.
Truth reveals itself through precision, courage, and sustained work
Viridis
Viridis appears when strength has softened into presence.
This is a time to enjoy the body, touch gently, and let desire make beauty bloom.
non-binarius
The cross becomes an axis, not a wound.
You are permitted to be whole. no sacrifice is needed-Alignment is when nothing in you needs to argue anymore.
