The Deerhawk Oracle Deck

Deerhawk Oracle Deck
Sale Price: $26.00 Original Price: $28.00

The whole project started with Deer and Hawk. As the Deerhawk totem collection continued to grow, I realized that something more could be done with these beautiful creatures. With a combination of meditation and research, I recorded an individual message for each animal and element in the deck, and worked with them until the right balance was achieved. This 30-card oracle deck is the result of that project, and it’s available for you to use, too!

Want to get a sense of what it’s like to work with the deck? Try this spinner I created on my Inspiration page and get some Deerhawk wisdom right here, right now.
