Oracle cards.
My experience of oracle cards has been like that. A push pull between finding them fascinating and beautiful {especially with more and more decks coming out all the time}, and feeling a disconnect when I tried to read them.
I’d find myself second guessing my thoughts and ideas, wondering if it was intuition or if I was just making things up, and then I’d resort to the accompanying guidebook and find beautiful descriptions that didn’t match my initial thoughts, nor reveal anything I felt I could really use. I’d see others using them in ways that didn’t align with my level of woo. I didn’t really want to make altars or create rituals; I just wanted something simple and direct, with a dash of my own kind of mysticism.
It was all rather disappointing.
Then one day it suddenly occurred to me that to find the connection I was looking for, I could just make my own cards.
So I did. And they turned out to be more beautiful and meaningful, and the whole process far richer, than I’d imagined.


My energy is infused into every element of every card, so that simply holding them makes me feel connected and happy.
I’d like to share with you what I learned so you can make your own. So that you have a unique-to-you way to reliably access your intuition.
Practical Intuition is an in depth two week course which breaks down everything you’ll need to know to make your own oracle cards, simply and clearly.
We’ll look thoroughly at everything from understanding intuition and how we each experience it, to themes and word choices, from choosing your materials to design and finishing touches. There will be plenty of examples and alternative ideas for you to play with, and no particular skills required. 🙂
This course is for you if:
-
You would love to have a completely unique and personal deck of your own oracle cards
-
You are looking for a reliable way to access and understand your intuition
-
You love to make things
-
Your level of woo doesn’t necessarily feel aligned with the incense and crystals style that oracle cards often come with. {Nothing against that, it’s just not for everyone.}
-
You like to look under the surface of things to the depths beneath

I’ve never made anything like this and don’t know if I’m very artistic. Can I still do this?
Absolutely! There will be heaps of ideas and suggestions for ways to approach your cards, examples to be inspired by, and support and encouragement as you find your own way. I would also encourage you to take this as an opportunity to trust that you do know what feels good and right to you, even if you feel uncertain about your connection with your intuition or what you’re capable of creatively. The course will create a container in which you can try things out and feel your way forward, which is exactly what I did with my cards. Your feeling sense will be your greatest ally here. 🙂
Will I need a lot of materials?
You likely have most of what you’ll need already, and it will depend on what you want to use to make your cards. There is a list of suggested materials, and we will dig into materials in depth during the course. I found that because it’s such an intuitive process, my choices shifted as I began to create them, so bear that in mind. No need for excessive planning. 🙂 As long as you have some basics – scissors, glue, images {photos/magazines}, card, you’re good to go.
Will a kit be available to purchase with supplies I need to make the cards?
Because this course and process is all about intuitive process, there’s no specific kit. Beyond the basics of glue, scissors, card and images/words, the most effective, ‘you-infused’ cards will come from your choices about the design and embellishments you want. There’s no need to splash out extra necessarily; you’ll likely have a lot if not all of what you need already {especially if you already have some collage/art/craft supplies}.
How much time will I need for the course?
That depends. If you want to whip up your cards over the suggested two weeks you’ll need to set aside time to gather the materials and create your cards; hard to specify but perhaps an average of half an hour a day, depending on how detailed your designs are. The nature of the process can mean that you need a little longer than the live part of the course for it all to come together. My own deck has evolved quite slowly and that has allowed me to really connect with every card so that each one feels deeply meaningful, as well as to provide a ‘quick fix’ of creativity by making one or two here and there when life requires most of my attention elsewhere. Kind of like a slow cooker meal instead of a microwave one. 🙂 It’s up to you how much time and energy you want to give the process.
I encourage you to approach it at your own pace and not add pressure for yourself with thoughts of ‘keeping up/getting behind’.
