Hey loves,
I’m just back from France + navigating the 'wild window of the in-between’ a space that opens up during eclipses - are you feeling it?
I am LOVING sharing these sneak peeks of the Self Source-ery Oracle cards with you + for those of you that have pre-ordered, I am also LOVING your kind words + shares about the Make It Devotional playbook - it’s pretty, innit?! I don’t know what I’m more excited about, the Oracle cards being out in the world + you getting to work/play/love them or our first Secret Society of Self Source-ery gathering?!!!
When is it April already?!!!!!
You know that each of my decks include ACTUAL women I love.
Why?
Because…I love NOTHING more than to make art of women I love because it means that when we work/play/love on the deck, we ALL get blessed up by that woman’s magic + essence.
This then amplifies the magic + essence of the deck itself, add to that, YOUR own magic + well… working with the oracles I create becomes a collaborative fiesta of feminine frequencies that combine to heal, uplift, inspire + most importantly, source.
WE ARE THE SOURCE-RESSES.
FORCES.
OF NATURE. ART. MAGIC. POWER. CREATIVITY. HOPE.
…And so it mother-loving is.
WHO’S THE INSPIR-O?
Okay, so sound the horns + play the plonky zylophone, because I am SO excited to share today’s Who’s The Inspir-o: Zoe Pilsworth.
Zoe won last year’s SHE Sirens Oracle pre-order contest to be turned into her own SHE Art (just like YOU can enter THIS year by pre-ordering the Self Source-ery Oracle).
A little BTS…
I asked Zoe, as I ask EVERY ONE that I create SHE Art for a series of questions + ask for three favourite songs, I then put those songs on repeat as I call in SHE + with Zoe’s permission, her ‘creative essence’ + together we are QUITE the threesome + I put down a rough sketch in pencil…
I then start to add colour to the mix, as you’ll read below, I’m not really interested in creating a likeness (that’s what selfies are for) no, I’m more interested in capturing YOU + YOUR CREATIVE ESSENCE - you’ll read how I tapped into an image of Zoe that she loved, one where she was wearing flowers in her hair without ever seeing the actual image…
I then turn it into a piece of SHE Art that I package + send with a personalised SHE story/transmission (+ all my love, obvi!)
NOTE: You can commission your own SHE Art HERE, but…
to be in with a chance of having me turn YOU into SHE art for the next Oracle, pre-order the Self Source-ery Oracle BEFORE April 23rd!
Zoe has become the Vital Viriditas card in the soon-to-launch Self Source-ery Oracle + yes, we WILL dive into the card + it’s symbolism SOON, but for today, let’s meet Zoe!
Tell us about yourself, Zoe!
Hi! I'm Zoe! I'm wildly blessed to be a mum to four fabulous little ones who we named after various book characters, and who always keep me on my toes!
I'm a nurse who works in research, and I love my job, it's a privilege. I love reading, bubble baths, dancing, being in nature, museums, libraries, baking and tea.
My life is generally a bit cluttered and chaotic, but warm and wonderful. I've been called passionate and enthusiastic a lot (also bubbly, but also too trusting and too talkative, but I'm ok with those superpowers...).
I like to think I'm kind and understanding, it's what I value most. I'm fortunate in that a lot of people tend to share their stories with me, and their problems, and I tend to accidentally adopt people a bit.
I know my children know I can be their safe space but also the mama bear who will protect them, and help them through hard things, so I think my magic is in bouncing through the chaos and being there to help those I care about. I'm a work in progress, a waffler, a procrastinator and a woman who is now learning that I'm enough and that I'm not too much.
What does the term ‘Self Source-ery’ conjure up + evoke in you?
The idea that I am enough, that the magic is in me and I can access it on my terms and how feels right to me, I am self sourced and able to be.
I love it.
How does it feel to be turned into an oracle card - to see yourself expressed as art?
I cannot wait to see the actual oracle card, but I have the beautiful art print up on my kitchen windowsill (which is my makeshift altar, it's above the sink so I can look at it whilst doing the washing up and feel a bit more fabulous in the mundane!).
It is such a surreal feeling, actually. Lisa's art is so beautiful and colourful, it feels powerful and necessary.
When my children saw the picture, they immediately knew it was a picture of me, even if the hair colour and skin tone are different, the essence is the same.
Even my youngest who was not even two at the time knew it was me, and it felt really lovely to be seen that way.
What amazed me was that the picture looked so similar to a picture of myself that I had taken a few years ago with daisies in my hair.
Lisa had never seen that picture, and yet she had recreated it somehow! It was a picture in which I felt very much myself, so I was pleased to see that reflected.
Zoe is the VITAL VIRIDITAS card in the Self Source-ery Oracle that is available for pre-order NOW (+ if YOU want to be in with the chance of having me turn YOU into SHE art for the next Oracle, pre-order the Oracle + fill in your deets - find out more HERE) + is officially released April 23rd 2024.
