Colours of the Divine

 

White is for the Maiden, the Mother is throned in red,
White as pure as virgin snow; red as the sacred blood we shed.
The Crone is cloaked in deepest black, the keeper of the night,
Guiding souls by darkest moon, with wisdom as her light.

Yellow is for the Sun King, the Horned One is verdant green,
Yellow bright as summer's
sun, green where forest growth is seen.
The King of Death wears deepest blue, the guardian of decay,
Cradling life within the void, as dusk consumes the day.

Black is for the Mother, white is for the Crone,
Black as rich and fertile soil, white as pale as bone.
Red is for the Maiden, a red as deep as fire,
Dancing 'neath the crescent moon, inciting life's desire.

Blue is for the Horned One, King of Death in yellow bright,
Blue as twilight’s quiet calm, yellow as a guiding light.
The Sun King stands in verdant green, life sprouting once again
Dancing where the earth is lush, in springtime’s joyous reign.

Red is for the Crone, black is for the Maid,
Red as the blood of sacrifice, black as night's cascade.
White is for the Mother, pure as the starlit tide,
Nurturing all with full moons glow, where magic does abide.

Green is for the King of Death, the Sun King dons the blue,
Green as moss on ancient bones, blue as skies anew.
The Horned One shines in yellow’s glow, a beacon in the field,
Life and death in balance held, nature’s cycles sealed.

The Elemental Court Oracle - In Progress

1/2- King Emeritus / Queen Dowager

These are figures of honored retirement or transition, leaders who have stepped down yet retain wisdom and influence. They embody legacy, reflection, and the dignified passing of power. Their presence offers counsel, closure, and the safeguarding of traditions while preparing for new leadership. They symbolize the power of experience and the deep internalization of past lessons.

3/4- King Regnant / Queen Regnant

These archetypes represent active sovereign rulers, fully empowered, independent, and publicly authoritative. They embody leadership in its fullest expression: decision making, responsibility, and visible governance. Their energy is one of command and legacy building, where personal power meets the collective good.

5/6- King Regent / Queen Regent

Regents govern temporarily or on behalf of another, often during times of transition or uncertainty. They balance stewardship and authority without claiming permanent sovereignty. Their role emphasizes guardianship, patience, and sometimes managing difficult power dynamics. They are caretakers of the throne, bridging continuity and change.

7/8- King Consort / Queen Consort

Consorts are supportive partners to the reigning monarch. Their strength lies in fostering stability, partnership, and behind-the-scenes influence. They anchor and bolster the ruler’s vision, offering practical, emotional, and spiritual support while often operating outside direct power.

9/10- King Father / Queen Mother

These archetypes represent nurturing authority figures, parents or parental energies who provide structure, protection, and guidance. They symbolize the lineage, emotional heritage, and the foundations upon which new generations build. Their essence combines discipline with care, tradition with growth.

Hybrid Flip Oracle - In Progress

 

This deck is based on the idea of flip-books that are often given to young children.

(note: I haven’t started designing the cards for this deck yet)

Place down one card in each category creating a unique hybrid animal. This hybrid animal will give you insight into the three states of yourself (or another person) in any given situation or event, help you understand reactions, and give ideas on how to incorporate the hybrids wisdom into your daily life.

  • Head Cards (Mental State): embody cognitive processes, intelligence, intuition, focus, wisdom, and mental challenges.

  • Forequarter Cards (Emotional State): reflect emotional balance, instincts, social bonds, and internal struggles.

  • Hindquarters Cards (Physical State): symbolize vitality, endurance, physical challenges, and the body's relationship to the external world.

The Court of Colours - In Progress

The Rainbow Court describe the journey you are currently on. Draw and place one of the five Rainbow Court cards, then draw and place one of the Colour Courts on either side of the rainbow. The card on the left is where you are coming from or where you stand at the moment or the current situation; the right card represents where you are going or what you need to work towards

Another spread can involve 2 Rainbow cards (colour-rainbow-colour-rainbow-colour) in order to help understand how you got from the past to the present and the possible journey into the future

The Rainbow Court

Rainbow King

Integration, Vision, Mastery of Self, Unity of Opposites, Stewardship of the Whole

The Rainbow King represents the mature, wise leader who has integrated many aspects of self and experience into a harmonious whole. He stands as the bridge between diverse energies, light and shadow, spirit and matter, intellect and emotion, uniting them under a clear vision. His presence signals the ability to lead your life with balanced authority and enlightened purpose. He represents a place of broad perspective, able to see the patterns linking your past and future. You’re ready to guide your own journey with clarity and strength, making decisions that honor all parts of your experience.

Elemental Adventure (A D&D Meditation)

Note: I haven't had the opportunity to play DnD much, and this is the first time I've tried to write anything like this so I leaned HARD into the cheese to make it easier to write...

Need: elemental charms (5 for each player), pens, paper, pre-made maps/diagrams/code, 4 sided dice, coin

The evening is calm, a gentle breeze teases through your hair, the moon is rising over the mountains in the distance, and the stars begin to wink into existence far above; the whites of clouds and blues of sky are drifting into pinks and purples and black.

You find yourself in the heart of an ancient verdant and wood, a place where the boundaries between the mortal world and the realm of spirits blur. The world is thick with the scent of earth and greenery, and a soft, ethereal light filters through the dense canopy above. You hear rustling though the dense woods around you and through the flowers and leaves you see your friends appear - your comrades – your fellow adventurers.
