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.
