“Deeply intuitive, empowering, and grounded in archetypal wisdom, the Divine Matrix Oracle is a supportive tool for sacred containers of transformation.

The deck is a mirror for all of the archetypes that live within us and has become a beloved source of inspiration on retreats and ritual spaces. The artwork is divinely inspired and evokes the remembrance of our innate wisdom and beauty.”

“Much like Mara’s medicine, this beautiful oracle creation is an instant heart opener. The Divine Matrix Oracle is alive with presence, wisdom and embodied love. The artwork calls me home to myself and the messages help me to return to the whispers of my soul.

This deck is deep medicine for all of those on a path of remembrance and reclamation – a gift for humanity. I highly recommend it to anyone walking a path of sensitivity, intuition and spiritual growth.”

An adventurous spirit, Mara has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, trekked through the Himalayas, studied yoga in India, planted trees in Northern Canada, and lived off-grid in a remote forest cabin. She has worked as a Waldorf educator and explored her love of dance and choreography.

Throughout every season of life, yoga, meditation, writing, mysticism, and ritual have remained at the heart of her path. Her training in the Incan shamanic lineage and Pagan tradition continues to inform her earth-based, ceremonial, and heart-centered work today.
