This is so exciting. These are some of the recent retrievals from my catalog of 30,000 Painted Body photographs that are the images within my original divination deck, The Oracle of Initiation.
It is so incredible to see a project evolve, and three and a half years into it get some fresh perspective. When reading about the process of creating the Fearies Oracle deck by Brian Froud and Jessica Macbeth, Jessica said the Feary Spirit images were so playful and elusive that they were changing their positions within the deck up until the publishing deadline. I sense my deck has some of that energy too, so I do the best I can with what I’ve got.
Happy day and magic to you all from freezing Santa Fe, a low of 2 degrees tonight. keep that wood stove burning-and let the french fries make my belly warm. M
