Shuffling Through The Shamanic Healing Oracle Deck

Shuffling Through The Shamanic Healing Oracle Deck

Having recently read with and reviewed ‘The Empathic Oracle‘, I was very keen to get my hands on further work by Michelle Mortuzas. Printed by Red Feather/ Schiffer, The Shamanic Healing Oracle Card deck is a symbolic tool for intuition derived from the concept of Shamanism.

Shamanism

Shamanism has many interpretations throughout varying cultures. In the past and even the present, people would seek assistance from local Shamans if they sick or troubled, and as a result, these figures were often labelled as ‘witch doctors’ or misguided individuals who relied upon superstitious folklore lacking scientific proof.

These days, shamanism is seen as a tool to tap into energies which may assist with the struggles of daily life.…

#LivingArrows – Goodbye Grandad 47/52 (2020)

As a parent, I make it my mission to protect my kids from harm’s way, and as much as I try to shield them from hurt and from sorrow, sadly there are some things in life which I simply cannot alter nor protect any of us from.

Steve Wilson is an ordained Spiritualist Minister Shamanic healer, psychic teacher, and paranormal investigator, whereas Michelle Motuzas is a psychic medium, Shamanic practitioner, and intuitive artist and their combined work has resulted in a very simple but delightful deck.…

#TheOrdinaryMoments – Sleep Well Dad

#TheOrdinaryMoments – Sleep Well Dad

This has been the hardest week in my life so far as I very sadly had to say goodbye to my darling Dad. After braving a ten-month fight with cancer Dad sadly lost his life last Thursday. Dad spent his final few weeks with us at home in a peaceful setting, surrounded by his family and we held his hand till the very end.

Whilst I’m completely and utterly heartbroken, I’m also rather relieved that his suffering has now ceased. There are simply no words to describe how I feel at present, I can only hope that time may heal my hurt.…
