The Inspiration Behind the Caregiver Oracle
I can’t pinpoint exactly when my love for tarot/oracle decks began. I know when I started joining women’s circles, and I started seeing decks more regularly that, I was drawn to them. They seemed to hold mystery and intrigued me, big time! But I can’t help but wonder about a deck that I have had…

Thick pockets of dust have settled in this place awakened by the hum. Who was the last to leave this place? And who will be the first to return? Damp drips…
