A Brief History of Oracle Decks
Oracle decks are older than their modern forms suggest.
Long before printed cards, people sought guidance through stones, bones, symbols, dreams, nature signs, and spoken oracles. Oracle decks evolved as a flexible, intuitive counterpart to structured systems like tarot.
Unlike tarot, oracle decks are not bound to a single tradition, number system, or hierarchy. Each deck creates its own language. Its own cosmology. Its own rules of engagement.
Oracle readings invite relationship rather than mastery. They ask the reader to listen, interpret, and respond rather than decode.
In many ways, oracle decks are conversations with spirit, shaped by the creator and completed by the reader.

The Court of Light and Shadow 
This deck is a mirror and a lantern.
It reminds you that growth does not come only from comfort, and healing does not require perfection. The Court teaches that we are allowed to be in process. To grieve and bloom in the same breath. To be fierce and tender without apology.
Each card stands as a member of a living court. Light and Shadow are not enemies here. They are co-rulers.
This is a deck for reflection, not prediction. For conversation, not command. For sitting with what is, instead of forcing what should be.

A Yearly Oracle Practice
Each month of the year carries:
-
A guiding theme
-
A daily question for every day of the month
-
A monthly affirmation
-
A ritual aligned with the New Moon and any seasonal or sabbat energies
Rather than rushing through the month, we walk with it slowly. One card a day. One question at a time. Each month becomes a chapter, each year a deeper conversation.
At the start of every month, we return to the Oracle together to open the next theme, explore its questions, and align our ritual work with the turning of the Wheel.
FEBRUARY — DEVOTION & DESIRE
Court Theme: What we tend, tends us
Seasonal Tone: Hearth-warmth, quiet longing, intentional care
Energetic Focus: Desire as wisdom, devotion without self-abandonment
February asks different questions than January. This is not about clarity through stillness, but truth through attention. What we feed. What we return to. What we choose again and again.
Desire here is not craving or lack. It is the soul’s compass.
Devotion here is not sacrifice. It is alignment.

February Ritual
Hearth & Flame Rite
(Imbolc-aligned)
Ritual Purpose & Steps
Purpose: To bless desire, renew devotion, and tend inner fire
Timing: On the February New Moon, or within the month
Sabbat Energy: Imbolc — hearth, renewal, sacred flame, Brigid-like tending
You’ll need:
-
One white, cream, or pale gold candle (renewal)
-
One red or orange candle (desire / inner flame)
-
Your Court of Light and Shadow deck
-
A small bowl of water or milk (traditional Imbolc symbolism)
-
Paper and pen
Ritual Steps:
-
Prepare a hearth-like space: a table, altar, or quiet corner. Keep it simple and warm.
-
Light the red/orange candle first, saying:
I honor the flame of desire within me. -
Light the white/gold candle, saying:
I honor devotion that tends this flame with care. -
Hold your deck close. Draw one card as your Hearth Keeper for the month — the energy that helps you tend what matters.
-
On paper, write:
-
One desire you are ready to treat as sacred
-
One devotion you are willing to practice gently
-
-
Touch the water or milk and say:
May what I tend be nourished.
May what I love be protected. -
Sit quietly for a few breaths, feeling warmth rather than urgency.
-
Close by thanking the Court. Extinguish the candles together, honoring balance.
(AI)
Closing the Month
February teaches that magic is not always loud.
Sometimes it is a hand on the hearth.
A choice repeated.
A desire finally believed.
