This past week I had the joy of working with a truly extraordinary deck: the Unity Oracle — A Worldwide Collaboration of Wisdom. And even though I’ve now packed it away to make space for my next oracle adventure (Dracones Loqui by Raewyn Phelan — more on that soon!), I felt this one deserved a moment of reflection.

The Unity Oracle is not just a deck of cards — it’s a living circle, a celebration of global voices and shared wisdom. With contributions from 95 diverse creators across the world, the deck pulses with stories, prayers, and visual meditations from artists, mystics, and writers. Each card holds a thread in the great weaving — a reminder that we are part of something far greater than ourselves.

Working with cards like Community, Ripple Effect, Spirit of Gaia, Collaborative Dreaming, Energy Balance, and Duality of Emotions, I found myself gently guided back to connection — to self, to others, to the earth, and to the divine spark in all things. I especially loved the Community card, with its bees symbolising harmony, shared purpose, and sacred cooperation. There’s a soft, blue Gaia energy that runs through the entire deck, and I felt it holding me all week.

One message that really stayed with me came through a Nigerian proverb found within the guidebook:

> “In the moment of crisis, the wise build bridges and the foolish build dams.”

This felt especially relevant — a call to rise, not in fear, but in fellowship. In a time where distraction and division seem woven into the daily rhythm, this deck gently but firmly reminds us of our capacity for kindness, clarity, and co-creation. That quote alone could be a mantra for these times.

The Unity Oracle features artists I already love — like Razooli, Lucy Cavendish, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, and Raven Wolfcat — alongside a whole host of new-to-me voices that I’m excited to explore further. That blend of familiar and fresh made each draw feel like a reunion and a first meeting. Even after a full week with it, I know I’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of its depth.

Though I’m sad to tuck it away for now, I do so with immense gratitude. This deck has left me feeling uplifted, inspired, and more deeply rooted in the knowing that harmony is possible — both within and without.

If you’re seeking a deck that celebrates unity, belonging, and beauty through diversity, I can’t recommend the Unity Oracle enough. It’s not just a tool — it’s a bridge. A conversation. A circle of light.

May we carry its message forward — in word, in action, in heart.

Tomorrow I’ll be diving into the Dracones Loqui Oracle — a powerful round sigil deck by Raewyn Phelan.

This deck speaks the language of dragons, weaving mystical symbols, intuitive glyphs, and cosmic whispers into circular cards that feel alive in your hands. I can’t wait to explore the layers of magic, myth, and message that ripple through this unique creation. Let the dragon-speak begin!

The Little Things from the Unity Oracle.

Notice the blessings that surround you.

Text by Catherine Gerdes & artwork by Rachel Johnson.

Whether you recognise it or not, we are constantly surrounded by blessings. They can arise in life's little moments, like savouring coffee in the morning, embracing a hug from a child, or receiving a nudge from a pet. But when we lose sight of the wonder, we disconnect from gratitude and miss the magical moments. This card is an invitation to notice the blessings around you, especially if you are encountering a more challenging season of life. 

In addition to savouring these daily gifts, another message of this card is to be intentional in initiating a more wonder-filled life. For some, the regular grind of work schedules aids in snuffing out the more pleasure-filled moments. Life's small wonders are all around, waiting for us to incorporate them through daily rituals. You might want to surround yourself with fresh flowers at home or do something spontaneous to strengthen a close bond or relationship. You may be overdue for playing in nature or indulging in the eye-candy of the great outdoors. If this is the case, enjoy a scenic hike or embark on a picturesque adventure. These small indulgences will help you maintain a clear mind and open heart for more of the little things to spring up and delight you. 

The number 5 came through in the charms — a gentle nudge toward change and freedom. Perhaps this is your sign to shift perspective, to make space for joy in your daily rituals. 

The spanner suggests it's time to make some tweaks. Nothing huge — just simple, soulful adjustments. That bunch of fresh flowers on the table or spontaneous walk with a friend. That long overdue moment under the sky. Whatever it is, it doesn't need to be grand — just real.

The yin-yang symbol brings balance into view. Even if you're facing a challenging season, there is always light in the dark. Blessings in the mundane. Harmony hidden in chaos.

Let this card be an invitation. Slow down. Tune in. Smell the roses. And remember, the Universe speaks through subtle beauty.

First Lessons in Astronomy from the Unity Oracle. 

Text by Carisse Enderwick & Artwork by Claire Koentop.

Are we like the stars?
Millions upon billions burning up in a great cosmic fire.
A single spark fueling itself, until it gives in and goes out with a bang?

He holds his arms out. Is this how I light the world?

I look into his eyes and see a universe.

Oh, my child.
You are not a star holding the light. You hold the stars and you are the light.

My five-year-old son asks me, "Did God make everything?"
"She did," I replied. "An energy called love."

"We are made of the same stuff?
I'm the same as you? And the birds and the trees?"

"It's all energy, my love.
We are made of the same stuff as the stars."

He moved in closer and looked me in the eye.
A child discovering magic.

"So I am a star," he said, stretching his arms out wide.

I smiled.

Are we stars?

We may come into this world like stars.
We emit light, grow, change, and like the stars,
we travel the cosmos, taking on one form after another.

But are we stars?
I wonder as I gaze at this child so full of light.
Or are we sparks of light— the universe experiencing itself
in a cycle of infinite alchemy?

The energy behind the form, the energy that holds the form together—love incarnate.

This child is drawn to me. It cannot simply be a star.
None of us are.

I beamed, and stretched my arms out.

"Yes, for now, we are like the stars, my love.
And tomorrow, I will tell you about the light
and how it holds the stars together."

Today’s charms: the Witch, and the letters O and F.

The Witch charm speaks of the knowing that lives in your bones — the ancient magic of the feminine, the mother, the creator. She who knows how to transmute energy, how to whisper to the stars and stir spells from stardust. She who answers the question, Did God make everything? with a smile and says, She did.

The letters O and F flicker like hidden runes. Perhaps they whisper: "Of light. Of love. Of form. Of fire." Or perhaps: "One Flame", a single spark lighting up a world. Or simply: "Our Future" — shining through the eyes of a child who declares, I am a star

Seeds of Peace. Written by Kelley Kauffman and artwork by Steph Chreifi.

Together, our dreams will sow the seeds of Earth's rebirth. It cannot grow without harmony and peace between all living things. 

The Seeds of Peace card is a reminder that small actions today can become beautiful and impactful change in your life and the lives of others tomorrow. Draw others to you by following your passion. Together, you manifest your shared dreams for the world. 

This is also a reminder not to isolate yourself too much from the world as you are integral in building sustainable ecosystems. Humans are inherently social creatures and whether we choose to commune with our fellow humans, nature, or a higher power, we must acknowledge our role in the cosmic order. If you were thinking of a particular question when pulling the card, it may be directing you to reconnect to the outside world and body, spirit, and mind in order to find your answers.

If you have recently had arguments or contempt with others in your life, this card may be a sign that you must be the first to offer the olive branch of peace. Assess what battles you need to wage and which you can - and need to - let go of. Taking steps towards understanding and harmony shows strength in the face of adversity. Just as it takes nurturing and care to develop a seed into an abundant harvest, growing and maintaining healthy relationships takes patience, dedication, and time. 

The charms that I pulled with this one were the handcuffs, the scissors, and the Ankh. The handcuffs charm may point to the bonds or restrictions—perhaps emotional, situational, or relational—that keep you from living in full peace. These can be gently unlocked through empathy, honesty, and courage. The scissors speak of the necessary release: of tension, old stories, or reactive habits that no longer serve harmony. And the Ankh, ancient symbol of life, reminds us that peace is not passive—it’s a living force, a sacred thread that connects us to one another and to the pulse of creation itself.

Plant peace today. With time, care, and community, it will bloom into something lasting and luminous.

Collaborative Dreaming from the Unity Oracle.

Text by Suki Eleuterio & artwork by Nicole Fisher.

What if we're all dreaming the same dream? The first people of Australia speak of Dreamtime, the creation moment when life came into existence and continues on as dreaming today. Lands, oceans, people, plants, animals, and ancestral spirits all dancing together in the cosmos.

In a somewhat similar way, anyone can access a dream-like state where we can speak with our ancestors and great spirits. We can see the bigger vision and swim in the quantum sea of consciousness. Right now, in this world, we need more dreamers. So the more we dream, imagine, channel, and create, the more we can connect with the ever-flowing divine force, which lies within us.

Pure consciousness exists in the dream world if you allow yourself to slip into a pure, uninterrupted, and restful sleep.
Do you enjoy your sleep?
Do you remember your dreams?

This card comes to you with specific action steps. Today, journal these questions to see what comes out:
– How can I dream more?
– What if I spent more time daydreaming?
– How can I reconnect with the collective consciousness of this world?
– What happens if I tap into the bigger dream, the higher vision of the good of humanity?

As part of these action steps, start taking note of your dreams. Keep a dream journal and a crystal next to your bed. Jot down what you see or how you feel. Read deeper into the messages you are receiving.

We are all one. We each have the potential to share similar desires of peace, love, goodwill, and kindness. If we bring our dreams together, our collective dreams become a force for positive change and uplifting creation, creating a tidal wave of love that the whole world will feel.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.

And now to the charms... After the freaky dream I had last night, it's no wonder these symbols appeared.

A witch flying on a broomstick suggests the freedom and magic that comes when you fully surrender to the dream space—when you let yourself fly beyond the physical into the mystical.

The vampire teeth? Oh yes, the fangs have come out. Energy vampires may be creeping into your sleepscape, or maybe your dream was showing you where you're feeling drained in waking life.

And then there’s the eye—ever-watchful, ever-seeing—perhaps a reminder that you’re being shown things in your dreams for a reason. Your third eye is open, active, and receiving. Trust what you’re shown. It’s all part of the bigger dreaming.

Connectedness. We are all connected — past, present, and future from the Unity Oracle. 

Words by Rebecca Joyce Stark. Artwork by Sharon McLeod

Our ancestors hold the memory of the past deep within the roots of the tree, contained in the wells of wisdom. Collective consciousness bubbles and whirls, nourishing the tree and providing the knowledge stored in our DNA to further advance humanity as a whole. The roots are the path. Push your roots deep down and access the strength of every conscious human who has walked this realm before you. Sit in the darkness, confront your shadows, and find the spark within. Listen to the whispers of aged voices as they guide you. A thousand past loves support you and hold you in their embrace.

The branches of the world tree reach into the spirit realm, higher consciousness, in the universal mind. Reach towards the skies and embrace what the universe has to offer. Surrender and release. Trust that what is meant for you shall be yours. Step into the light alongside your spirit guides as you transcend what is holding you back. Allow the gods and goddesses to take you by the hand, lead you towards your highest purpose. Listen to the call of your higher self, so you know what your destiny holds in singing your soul home.

The trunk is your present, this moment in time. Take a breath, feel it flow through your body, filling you with gratitude and acceptance. You hold the power of the world tree within you, connected to all humans before and all those yet to come. In your authenticity, you stand strong with a voice of reason. You call into being that which is meant to be yours in this moment. Your tribe is feeling, your vibration. You radiate love and accept all of humanity, for you are the embodiment of unity.

The key charm appears today as a gentle reminder that you already hold access to this wisdom — the ancient knowing, the ancestral memory, and the truths buried in your own being. You are not locked out. You belong.

The presence of the hearts charm reinforces that love is the great connector. It moves through bloodlines, soul lines, and timelines. You are loved, and always have been.

The aeroplane charm reminds us that our connections are not bound by place. Spirit, love, and memory travel far and wide, spanning continents and generations.

This card brought up a tender memory for me — a day long ago when my dad, my sister and I went to One Tree Hill around 40 years ago. We carved our names into trees there, a little moment of love made permanent in bark. I wonder if it’s still there… Something in me says it is. A piece of our story, held by the land.
