The Sibylant Sisters Oracle Deck is a work of art you hold in your hands. The cards are a tool for storytelling and self-reflection. Based in the magical world of the Sibylant Sisters fairytale, they offer its symbols and characters as guides for your own mythical journey.
Sibylant Sisters is a tale that revolves around family. Instability, intergenerational trauma, forgiveness, healing, and most of all magic. This story is drawn from my own childhood growing up at the end of a dirt road with a mother who was in the midst of a psychotic breakdown, and a lifetime spent teasing out the relationship between creativity, intuition, magic, and madness.
The Sibylant Sisters tale is a spell sent backwards in time from an adult who made it through, to the little kid who wasn’t sure she could. Suffused with joy and tenderness amidst the hardship, these cards speak the language of fairytale, because there are some truths that can only be told by witches and unicorns, ogres and toads.
A whole symbolic world inside a single fairytale, these 88 cards, produced in collaboration with Shuffled Ink, help you see what you see and know what you know. They help you unearth the wisdom that's already there inside your unconscious.
Pull a single card to start your day, or lay out a reading of your choice. Use them as a prompt for a conversation circle, or ask the cards a question and let them give your imagination a little nudge. The Sibylant Sisters Oracle is a southern-tall-tale storytelling deck. A mirror of sorts that asks you to use its symbols to better hear your own intuition. 'Cause sometimes your intuition is in there just looking for a mythical, colorful language with which to speak.
Each card contains symbolism you can interpret using your own imagination, or, you can dig in to the written interpretations in the booklet included with your deck. You can also listen to the meaning of each card read aloud by me via Instagram, TikTok or Youtube.
If you'd like to go deeper into the fairytale of the Sibylant Sisters, a story I've been developing over the course of seven years with the assistance of The Sundance Writer's and Director's labs, as well as young adult novelist Meagan Brothers and film producer Lisa Muskat, you can find a round-the-campfire-style-read-aloud of the full story HERE. The art-novella print version of the fairytale is still in development.
The Sibylant Sisters Oracle Deck is a first peek into a much larger narrative world, which includes paintings and sculptures, a traveling exhibition, theatrical performances, an in-progress novella, and plans for a live action and animated feature film.
