I am an Echo Oracle

I AM AN ECHO ORACLE ~ First Edition

78 Card Oracle Deck with soft felt bag

With a FRONT CARD and a mini INTRODUCTION CARD (both pictured)

400gsm Matte Card Stock (no celloglaze - even though I love celloglaze, I know many don't like the peeling of the edges - so I went with my favourite card stock to shuffle, without the celloglaze)

Journey into your inner world and see what the Echo has to share.

Letting each card gently reveal its wisdom to you.

Each card is here with an Echo of a shadow, in all its forms. It echoes with shadows, wounds, reflections, fears. As well as emotions & stages within your inner journey

After years of guiding people through deep shadow work journeys, my own personal deep inner journey, it was time to bring this deck to life. 

This was by far the hardest deck to create, as the inner journey needed to be taken with each card. Understanding the nuance of each shadow, fear, wound, emotion and everything in between. 

This deck was created to be like a mini inner 'course'. A way of diving into your inner landscape and seeing what truth desires to be shared and revealed.

All Oracle Decks weave together, creating an embodied soul transmission from the past 25 years of my work. I was guided to create the decks I wish I had when I was starting my journey. Decks that would be the embodiment of all the things I have shared and taught over the years.

It is something to journey with. To let it speak to you. Returning to true inner gnosis. Returning to deep self-trust. Letting go of the need to have the answers defined for you, and instead inviting in the voice of your heart to reveal what is true in this moment, and the next. Each card will mean different things at different seasons of your life. Trust in your inner gnosis to guide your heart.

NO BOX & NO GUIDEBOOK...

Firstly - no box. I was guided not to go for a box. Instead, I chose to use a felt printed bag. Unless I ordered a huge minimum order, the boxes were going to make the price excessively high. So for the First Edition, I chose to opt for a bag instead of a box.

Secondly - no guidebook. This was the hardest decision I have had to make. A true 'kill your darlings - a Stephen King term' moment. I have been working on the guidebooks for my Oracle decks for almost a decade. This was the part I had spent the most time journeying with. The Wisdom of Cacao Guidebook was going to be around 300 pages! But right at the end, when it came time to look at releasing them, I was told to sacrifice them. While I know many won't understand, I will try and share the reason this was the most integrity driven decision I could have made. If I would have released them 12 months ago, there would have been a guidebook. But alas, time had other plans. And over the course of the past 12 months, I dove so deep into my own inner world, that visions and plans changed drastically. The most important lesson I learnt, as well as the number one thing I teach, is all about trusting your own inner knowing. As I was working on the final edits, I felt the limitation that each card description contained. While I tried to share the most important messages that each card held, there was always room for expansion. Every reading I do, the cards come through in such unique ways.

The message I received was very clear - 'Who are you to tell someone what the card should mean?'. Unless I could share all of the beautiful insights that each card brought me in lessons along the way, it felt strangled in some way.

So I had to 'kill my darlings'. The thing that felt the most important. And yet, if I truly believe in supporting people to become self-sourced in their inner gnosis and trusting their soul yes, then the guidebooks had to be sacrificed, so they didn't create any limitations.

Many have asked if I will release the guidebooks as a PDF. And the answer for now is, no. If I was going to release them, I would get them printed! That was MY DREAM!!! Maybe one day I will be guided to release them, but for now I am honouring what felt like the highest way forward to support the shift in the collective around how we connect to our own inner trust.

ARTWORK...

The artwork was done with AI and me editing a little. Originally I had envisioned these decks with other people doing the art, but life had other plans. When I was guided to bring them to life, I chose AI, so that I could create the exact vision I was feeling, seeing, connecting to, when I was writing the guidebook. There are a few little 'flaws' on the cards - this is not a printing fault, but my design flaws! I created what felt the most aligned to my souls vision.

I hope these decks resonate with those who feel guided to work with me.

A little extra insight into the creation of I am an Echo...

Wow, what a journey this creation was.

I honestly wouldn't even be able begin to share where it started, but it has been in the making for many many years.

I had been teaching/sharing on shadow work for many years. 

Courses, 1:1 sessions, deep dives, you name it, we went there.

I created so many things around shadow work. I had a knack for seeing straight into the core and pulling up the deepest shadow. Sometimes we had to take our time to navigate our way there, but always those deep shadows would call me in (either with self or with clients), and I would untether them all, to understand their nuance.

I had an almost shadow work super power. Now, you can take whatever you like from this - whatever sounds like ego - take it as what it is for you. I know what is my ego and what is my heart - but I cannot control what anyone else thinks... trust me my ego has a HUGE voice in this story!

But to say I had a shadow work super power I don't feel is ego - in fact, it is something I resisted for such a long time. I would get straight to the heart of things, and not everyone was ready for that kind of intensity or depth. To know it is one thing - to know how much to share is another. It was a constant dance to know what how deep we would go at any time.

I pushed myself to my shadow depths, so I knew the limits I wouldn't push other people past. (shadows playing out in my shadow work - trust me, I can see the irony, the humour, my beautiful humanness in it all. and I now love it all)

The shadow work oracle was always there. For years it had been building in creation. 

The art work had begun a number of years before, but then immediately dissipated, thankfully. Again, shadows to create the shadow work deck, always playing out.

After years of holding shadow work 'work' for clients, last year, I was finally called to complete the shadow work oracle... I am an Echo.

The name was there all along. I began writing the words many years ago.

I am an Echo became the baseline for every card that I created.

It started off with 150 cards!

In what was meant to be a 45 card Oracle Deck.

My goal (here comes my EGO)... 

TO CREATE THE MOST POTENT SHADOW WORK DECK THAT WAS EVER CREATED! TO CREATE A DEEP DIVE SHADOW WORK DECK THAT WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE. TO CREATE THE BEST...

Again, grateful for timing and life.

Pre 2025, I was working on the best shadow work deck ever.

2025 - create something that felt true to me now. But what did that mean to me.

Well, shit. I did not see what was ahead...

A shadow work deck was always in creation. It was already being written and built. But I would have to go through one final ride before I could bring it to life... so into the deep descent we went one more time.

I had to live within the Echo before I could give it breath.

I not only had to understand the shadow (or the fear, wound, emotion), which I could do with my eyes closed. Truly, ask me about a shadow, a fear, an emotion, a core wound, a belief, and I could probably talk your ear off for hours on all of the how, what, where etcs of all of those beautiful shadows. When I say I spent the past, I couldn't even tell you how long, many years immersed in shadow work, I truly mean I lived there. Day after day with client after client, we dove into the shadow lands, and we excavated all of the murky shit we could find. 

So, I not only had to understand the shadow, but I also had to know the Echo. That was the journey I was taken on.

I knew the shadows intimately. 

I had yet to learn many of the Echoes.

What I discovered in my own personal journey with creating this deck was, what I thought the Echo was, was not at all what it turned out to be.

Every shadow has an Echo. This deck is the journey into the Echoes.

New concepts came to me out of nowhere. Things that never existed in the collective around shadow work. Concepts I had not seen or heard of, anywhere. And I began to see a whole new side to what I thought shadow work was, what the collective had made it, and what I fear it is becoming and going to become (which is actually terrifying to me).

I journeyed deeper into the Shadow landscape, so I didn't have to return again. Yes, I was told there was a way to end shadow work forever, but the journey inward was as hard as they came. A journey I am deeply, deeply, deeply, grateful for, but also wouldn't wish it on anyone. I was told I was going to go through 5 years of shadow work in 6 months ~ and boy oh boy did it live up to its warning.

This deck will speak to you as it needs to. No more. No less. There is no rush to healing. You can't go deeper than you have the capacity for. Your nervous system can only hold what it can hold - knowing that's its capacity is always expanding and healing if given the right tools and support.

150 cards became 78. 

It felt impossible to cut it down.

But I knew it had to be done.

Some cards that ended on the cutting floor felt like huge sacrifices.

While others that stayed made me curious.

But each one was a lesson in trust.

I knew the deck would show me which cards needed to be shared and which ones no longer had relevance.

Some concepts may feel new.

Some may feel dated.

All are here to guide you into the Echo.

What that is for you, I guess we will wait and see...
