Building My Oracle Deck by Following The Signs
I wanted to share an incredible experience I recently had during my dance class that sparked a significant "aha!" moment for me. I had the chance to use my Oracle Deck as a source of inspiration for movement, and it truly transformed the way I approached both my dance and my connection to the cards.
Five years ago, when I embarked on the journey to create my Oracle Deck, I consciously decided to move away from the analytical side of creation and instead tap into my feelings and intuition. My goal was to allow ideas to flow from a deep inner space that can be difficult to articulate. I instinctively understood that over-explaining would diminish the enchantment and magic that the cards could offer.
When the cards were finally ready to be shared with the world, I initially thought the journey of the deck was coming to a close. However, I soon discovered that it was just the beginning of something much more profound. I still laugh at how silly that thought was.
Over time, I felt as though the cards became alive as if they carried a spirit of their own that they wanted to express through art and share with the world. It became crucial for me to acknowledge that I needed to follow this intuitive trail and allow myself to be vulnerable by sharing my work with others. It was the only way I would give the cards voice.
I admit, this openness made me quite anxious. Sharing my creations meant inviting people’s opinions into my world, and there’s always that lingering fear of judgment—what if they don't like it? What if they think I’m insincere or fake?
This past year, I finally gathered the courage to present my cards in my dance class, which Anamaria teaches weekly at I Dance You in Brașov. These classes have become a therapeutic balm for my mind, body, and spirit, providing a safe space where I can explore and express myself without fear of criticism. Anamaria's class was the perfect setting to take this step, and it truly pushed me to step outside my comfort zone.
As we began incorporating my Oracle Deck into the classes, something extraordinary happened. Anamaria used the cards to inspire our movements, and I was utterly amazed by the results—pure magic unfolded before my eyes! Each card seemed to resonate with a specific participant, bringing its essence to life through them. It was a stunning realization for me: the cards wanted to be embodied and expressed through physical movement, expanding our understanding of them beyond traditional methods of reading and introspection.
So, what lies ahead for us? Anamaria and I are committed to continuing our collaboration with the Oracle Deck, utilizing it in various workshops as a means of exploring and tapping into our subconscious minds. I consciously choose not to overthink this process, preferring instead to let the cards guide us on our journey. However, I cannot deny the excitement I feel as things begin to unfold. Experiences like this reaffirm my belief that magic is real, and if we open our eyes and hearts, we can glimpse the messages that life has to offer.
