#16 (something that grows from the ground) in the #createthisoracledeck challenge!

Guidebook prompt from otmoraclecards on Instagram:

Card 16: Something that grows from the ground What did you create for this prompt? How does it grow from the ground? Is it a tree, plant, flower, vegetable? Keywords: growth, fertility, creation, evolution, health, blooming

I chose a winding vine that starts from the bottom of the card (the earth) and reaches up to the top (the sky). It kind of reminds me of Jack and the Beanstalk. I suppose not only is it the idea of growth and everything that goes along with that, but also the feeling of hope and potential!

It’s a really similar colour palette to the previous card, but for me I think they kind of go hand in hand!

#8 (poetry or song lyrics) in the #createthisoracledeck challenge!

Here are the prompts for the guidebook from otmoraclecards on Instagram:

Card 8. Song lyrics or lines from a poem What did you choose? What memories, meaning, or other associations do you have for the words? Keywords: (fill in your own keywords based on the words you selected)

I chose a quote that I found online, which seems to be attributed to Zeami Motokiyo, a  Japanese aesthetician, actor, and playwright. I liked it because I love the moon, and I often feel just going for a walk late at night all alone and looking up at the moon is very personally cleansing and relaxing. It’s always been my favourite time to myself, and when I can think and feel renewed in a way, it gives me strength, and that’s what this quote reminds me of.

Keywords: moon, night time, quiet, cleansing, calm, relaxation, strength, renewal, silence, alone, stillness

#6 in the #createthisoracledeck challenge!

Here’s the info for the guidebook from otmoraclecards on Instagram:

Card 6. Self-portrait with your dominant hand The intention of this prompt was to draw a self-portrait with your dominant hand. If you're doing collage or using another non-drawing medium, try to create a self-portrait that reflects the face you show to the world In what ways does your self-portrait reflect how you see yourself? What body language do you notice? The dominant hand self-portrait is said to reflect your adult self or your public persona, the face you show to the world. Describe this version of yourself and what it desires Keywords: adult self, ego, persona, (include keywords that describe your self-portrait)

First of all, I chose my favourite colours (pinks and purples) as the background! I think my self portrait reflects how I see myself in that I look like a quiet little nerd (which is pretty true for the most part). I suppose that’s how I see myself in public most of the time! I notice that it’s just my face, not my body (probably because I’m not entirely comfortable with my body, but I mean, who is??) and I don’t take up all the space on the card, just the bottom half, which I’m sure is significant in some way about taking up space in real life. I think this version of me desires to have connections with people, to get along with others and have minimal conflict, to be respected for who I am (an introvert who needs to rest and relax by myself a lot - note that my eyes are closed) and to maybe a little more peace and quiet in my life! I definitely think a large part of my public persona, especially as I’ve gotten older, is embracing the fact that I am an introvert and despite maybe my early party-girl days, a HUGE nerd. I’ve really, in recent years, grown into accepting this part of myself and not being ashamed of displaying those characteristics. So to me, this card says a lot about being proud of who I am and really owning it, rather than fighting my nature!

Some other keywords specific to me could include: quiet, peace, calm, restraint, loner, self-acceptance
