Decks by Patrick Valenza
Left- The Oracle of Black Enchantment;
Above Right- The Abandoned Oracle;
Below Right- The Deviant Moon Tarot.
While the last 2 may each be used for more general readings they also combine with OBE into a delicious trio of decks for ‘shadow work’.
Shadow work is working to heal emotional wounding and limiting beliefs. It involves uncovering the cause(s) for behaviors, desires and actions that unconsciously block or self-sabotage our growth.
The Ark Tarot & Oracle Deck
My collection includes a total of 148 cards;
78 with traditional Tarot card titles;
22 additional animals from across the globe in the standard deck;
4 sets of 12 cards each that also include mythological creatures and concepts.
Animal decks (such as this, the Medicine Cards below, and my newly acquired Oracle of the Wild) are popular ways to learn how we can emulate, or avoid, various characteristics commonly seen in other animals that share this planet.

First Nations* Inspired Decks

* Use of ‘First Nations’ Images and Traditions
These decks have been designed by artists of Lakota, Iroquois, Cherokee and Choctaw descent. I make no claim to have been trained or raised within those traditions and do not identify as a ‘shaman’ or ‘medicine man’. I do not represent or ‘speak for’ those traditions beyond the cards’ artwork and published traditions of the First Nations that inspires some of my own practices.
