NEWSLETTER: May 2026 Updates - Announcing my new Oracle Deck
Dear friends,
Summer is here! Nature all around our little home is blooming and the world outside is brimming with life. I completely missed the last newsletter-update since I took a much needed vacation over Walpurgis.
I’ve been working on my new oracle deck over the past months, and today I am finally ready to share the topic, title, and a preview with you:
My new oracle deck is called “Meeting the Baba Jaga Oracle - A transformative journey through story medicine and Slavic myth”. Below you’ll find the first impressions.
MEETING THE BABA JAGA-ORACLE
Venture deep into the birch forest, stand before the Baba Jaga, and answer her question: Are you here by choice, or by chance?
The Baba Jaga survived through centuries in folk tales - sometimes aiding the heroes, sometimes hindering them, but always facilitating change. She may be a single entity, a type of local spirit, an archetype, or everything at once. The Baba Jaga can not be defined.
Stories and folktales are at the heart of what it means to be human, and maybe today we need their medicine more than ever. Based in Slavic folklore, the Baba Jaga-Oracle explores the topic of transformation, and serves as a tool to guide you through the different stages of change.
The Baba Jaga-Oracle contains 40 cards with hand-drawn artworks and a guidebook with divination messages rooted in scholarly sources. The project will come to Kickstarter in late Autumn 2026.
The Baba Jaga-Oracle is 100% human-made with lots of love and care. All artworks and texts are dreamed up by human imagination and created by human hands. No generative A.I. is used in the making of this deck.
RETURNING TO PATREON
With the deck-announcement out of the way it’s back to the writing (and drawing) desk for me. I’m planning to share updates on the creation process, as well as behind the scenes-content, on a semi-regular basis.
With the current state of the internet in general, and platforms like Instagram in particular, I’ve decided to share most of these updates on Patreon. To read all of the upcoming articles, you can sign up as a free member.
I will keep the paid members options available as a tip jar to support my work for those who can afford it and wish to do so. However there will be little to no additional perks at this point in time for paid subscribers.
CARD OF THE MONTH
HOLDA - RESPONSIBILITY
Holda is a wise woman who values hard work and dedication. One of her most popular fairytales is the story of Gold-Mary and Pitch-Mary. It conveys the message: you will reap what you have sown.
Our actions have consequences. They will impact us, sometimes long after the initial seed has been planted. We are in charge more often than we think, and we are responsible for our choices.
Holda challenges you to reflect. Are you taking full responsibility for your actions? What are you in control of? Do you want to keep complaining or take action?
The above text is an excerpt from European Goddesses and Spirits Oracle Deck. You can purchase the deck and the companion book on my website or learn more about the oracle here.
Thank you so much for reading. If you want to get these updates delivered straight into your mailbox, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter (it’s free, of course!).
