Updated & More User-Friendly Pick An Animal Card for Inspiration

I discovered a more user-friendly way for you to try out my Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck if you’d like and I’m excited to share the update with you!

The Pick-A-Card page is now updated on my website. The gist of it is that I’ve now numbered all the cards. Plus now you click on the Random Generator Number link for a number to be chosen at random. You then go back to the Pick-A-Card page and choose that card number for your message.

Just this morning I gave it a whirl asking what I needed to know today. I received Pelican and the message of expansion. While this Pick-a-Card version is an excerpt from the guidebook that accompanies the deck it was the first paragraph that stood out to me, and especially the last line:

Each day, Pelican’s large bill scoops up what they need in order to nourish themselves. Perhaps it’s time to make room in your life for a daily practice. Not only will this provide you with a refreshing sustenance, but it will help you release what you no longer need to carry.

This is what I’ve been doing of late – releasing what I no longer wish to carry. And some of this in the past few days has been around ancestral work. I ended up creating an altar with acknowledgement of my ancestors and allowing the grief to move through me which definitely has me feeling lighter in spirit.

So Pelican’s message was a confirmation of the inner work that started out feeling heavy, that once released, has made me feeling a sense of more expansion in my being.

How important it is I’m reminded yet again of nourishing ourselves, from the inside out. And sometimes all it takes is a quick, short message that can be so beneficial.

So if you’d like to give it a try, please do. And if you feel like sharing what animal you got, I’d love to hear!

Francine Forest Fairy & Friends – Now Available in My Shop

Now available in my shop here. $75 plus shipping.

Inspired by my admiration of St. Francis of Assisi this piece began to take hold in my imagination – first with the forest fairy that danced through my mind and then the animals showed up too.

Of course, I couldn’t help feel this is a big part of who I am also – a bit of Francine the Forest Fairy in me too (you also?!)  – and for my love of animals and all they’ve taught me.

Below is the message that comes with Francine. Can be included on the back or sent as separate copy.

There is a place deep in the forest

and with each step you take in reverence for the earth

with your heart wide open to all the possibilities of what can be

you will eventually come upon a splendid sight

which will bring true joy to your soul.

Because deep in the forest

is Francine the Fairy

whose heart beams bright

with pure love

while the animals gathered around her

soak in her glorious being

and offer wisdom of their own.

So, come sit awhile

and listen deeply

to what is being shared

to guide you back home to the heart

that you too, are just as magnificent

as Francine and all earth’s creatures.
