How To Use the 13 Moon Oracle
1. Take a moment to become empty, open, and receptive
A feminine way of accessing Emptnessis called "open-eyed" meditation. This entails becoming completely, joyfully absorbed in being fully present with something so that the to perceive the beauty of "What Is" and thus the mind naturally stops its chattering. You might want to start by fully focusing on the golden light around a candle flame or listening in rapt, vivid focus to a piece of music that you deeply love.
Breathe and slow down even more, taking in more through all your senses. You will know you are in a state of Emptiness when you feel clear and expanded, like the feeling of entering the enlivening smell of a pristine, mountain pine forest.
2. Choose from the selection of cards laid before you
To improve your experience with this digital deck, we allow a random selection to be made from the full set of cards down to a smaller selection.
3. Fully take in the image of the card with a relaxed, unfocused vision
Don't try to know what it means, but feel into it by letting it directly, vibrationally inform your feelings, intuition, and inner knowing.
As you are relaxed holding no expectations, often an image, color or symbol will naturally arise from your belly or heart area. Just make note of it, without trying to figure it out or understand it mentally. In this system there are no right or wrong answers, just what arises in each moment as your truth.
What Is An Oracle?
An oracle is a time-honored process of tuning into the deeper parts of ourselves to receive guidance and wisdom. Oracles work because ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED, even when they may appear not to be.
The oracle becomes a bridge to assist you in finding the connection between your concern or question and its "answer" or insight. This oracle deck is a concentrated form of light that you can explore at any time for that gift of awareness.
The answers you seek are within you. This oracle is simply a vehicle for directly connecting to your inner knowing and the larger Cosmos. Oracles assist you in tapping into that vast resource!
This is not yet another belief system. It is inclusive and honoring of any path you are presently walking.
Why Use Feminine Archetypes?
We are coming into a time of profound rebalancing of the male and female energies within ourselves and on our planet. This material is about expanding consciousness and awareness, looking through a feminine lens.
The more we embody each of the aspects of the Divine Feminine that are illuminated in this deck, the more we step into our own empowerment as Essential Selves beyond the dualism of male/ female. The 13 archetypes, tools and frequencies utilized in this oracle simply provide doors to establish a direct connection with our Essential Soul Essence in a larger more mythic context.
Transmit: Sacred Tool of the Chalice
The chalice represents vertical relationship rather than horizontal aspects of daily life. This card may be a gentle reminder to empty out and focus on your alignment with Spirit to receive what is being transmitted for your growth at this time. Water is a powerful transmitter, so how can you be more like water now?
The Initiator: She Who Empowers and Offers Second Birth
The way of the Initiator is the way of Truth. The Initiator acknowledges and empowers through challenge. She prunes, encourages growth, catalyzes change, expands perceptions, cultivates and ripens potential, motivates alignment with essence and truth, tunes the harmony of each being. If recurring patterns threaten to confine us in a stereotype of our authentic selves, the Initiator will confront us again and again until we grow. She cannot be distracted from her purpose. She leads us through pain to joyful insight. If we try to resist her, she will hound our footsteps to the end. In this, her compassion is unparalleled in its determination. The Initiator's transcendent function in the Mystery is that she is coherence, the force by which molecules are held together.
The shadow aspect of this archetype plays out in the human psyche in issues of power, control and recognition. The initiator aspect may seem impersonal, cold, uncaring or unfeeling to the human ego.
The Alchemical Goddess Shape-shifter, Changing Woman
This is the integrated, balanced and whole image of the Goddess. She is that which resolves duality in her primary being-ness. She encompasses all duality pairs in a sweepingly expansive unified field of consciousness which is all things and no thing, and to die to unneeded parts and masks of self, to give up the life of sleeping consciousness for the painful process of being born in wakeful awareness. Alchemy is the raising of vibration. All that we do in the process of spiritual evolution has to do with raising the vibration; this is the work of the Alchemical Goddess. The Alchemical Goddess's transcendent function in the Mystery is the marriage of male and female polarities within; a complete awakening in unity is the goal of this archetype.
If we were look at a human play out of a shadow for this aspect it would look like struggle, resistance, fixity, moving against the flow.

She Who is Natural, Instinctual, Untamed and Free."
With the motto, "Everything to excess", she pushes past the interpretations and boundaries the mind has developed out of habit patterns and limiting beliefs, into experiencing new freedom.
Primal Goddess follows her instincts and passions without rationalization and mental approval of the inner adult critic or for acceptance. The Primal Goddess's transcendent function in the Mystery emerges through the use of creativity and passion, and through that, co-creation of reality.
In the shadow aspect, shame, guilt, anger, powerless, doubt, and stagnant creative energy are common themes as we may try to get what we want, without simply standing in our power and truth and asking directly for what we desire, or use the powerful energy of kundalini to sexually seduce and manipulate.
Sovereignty Sacred Tool of the Chalice
The chalice represents vertical relationship rather than horizontal aspects of daily life.

The Priestess
She Who Is Keeper of the Keys and Guardian of the Mysteries."
The priestess is the feminine archetype of stillness, silence and centered presence. From this female receptive place, she becomes the keeper of the keys, the guardian of the female mysteries; only from the place of inner stillness can divine knowing actually flow. The Priestess' transcendent function in the Mystery is she represents the universal flow of the divine feminine and balance within that flow; through intuition and feeling she is a guide into the unseen realms.
The shadow aspect of the priestess can be seen in the human psyche, as over subjectivity, becoming so lunar and intuitive as to be ungrounded or unattached to the Earth plane.

The Creator/Destroyer
"She Who Gives and She Who Takes Away."
The way of the Creator/Destroyer is the way of non-attachment. This aspect of the Goddess acknowledges and empowers through intensity in all its forms, intended to polarize your responses until you instead choose to use the same intensity to experience Oneness. The Creator / Destroyer's transcendent function in the Mystery is this archetype represents bringing one into unity consciousness through resolution of all duality pairs into Oneness.
The shadow aspect of this archetype can be seen in the human tendency to turn this raw or often unexpressed creative energy into chaotic destructiveness, developing affection for the drama of conflict, wanton fits of passion, anger, jealousy, competitiveness or wrathful revenge. In the human play out of this shadow there is a lack of the quality of forgiveness. In this shadow, one gets to experience how unresolved rage erodes vitality, creativity and well-being. In the shadow of this archetype there is a tendency to hold a grudge and withhold love or separate and cut-off entirely from a relationship rather than try to heal or change it.

The nature of the cauldron is spaciousness, emptiness. This card counsels you to slow down, breathe, to open and make more space in your life for the new to emerge.

Equanimity: Frequency of Sapphire Blue
This blue energy is calling you to your mysterious watery depths to retrieve remembrance of what you came to joyfully create and experience in this life. Surrounded by the cool waters of Her deep well, give yourself time away from the distractions of the outer world, so that you may gaze into the clear waters of you inner world.

Fulfillment: Frequency of Pink
You are being invited to embody unconditional love, not as a concept but as a living reality! Whether you feel fulfilled or separate or alone, stop and consciously breathe into your being the unconditional, pink fire that burns in your own heart. Feel its power to open.
Goddess of Compassion
"She Who Enfolds in Mercy, Forgiveness and Compassion."
The way of the Goddess of Compassion is the way of unconditional love and mercy. This archetypal aspect of the Goddess is the essence of divine perfect love. As with Kwan Yin, She acknowledges and empowers herself and others through fluidity and being in the flow. The Goddess of Compassion's transcendent function in the Mystery is the transmutation of the very perception of suffering.
The shadow of this aspect of the Goddess as it plays out in us, can be seen in personal self-denial, that is having more compassion for everyone else than oneself. In this shadow "no" tends not to be in the vocabulary and no boundaries are set for self-care. This tendency to be a rescue/savior in the name of compassion, actually feeds co-dependency and emotional addiction rather than self-responsibility and growth."
The Great Mother
You are being invited to embody unconditional love, not as a concept but as a living reality! Whether you feel fulfilled or separate or alone, stop and consciously breathe into your being the unconditional, pink fire that burns in your own heart. Feel its power to open.

Unkown: Frequency of Black

Lady of Communion
"She Who is a Guardian of All Life."
The way of the Lady of Communion is the way of the spiritual warrior. In this aspect of the Divine Feminine is the ability to hold an intention and the skill to manifest the intention. In working with this archetype one is assisted in looking impeccably at what is motivating any action or intention. This archetype assists us in holding a focus, an intent, and the strength, commitment and impeccability, to fulfill our aims. Impeccability requires truth, responsibility and competence but most of all it requires discipline. This aspect of the Goddess is a sovereign androgyny, representing the equal balance of the female and male aspects within. The Lady of Communion's transcendent function in the Mystery is she represents limitlessness.
In the shadow, this can look like becoming absorbed in what one is doing in such a way, that it can exclude everything that seems to be extraneous to the work or long-term goal.
Liberation: Frequency of Red, White & Black
The frequency of red, white, and black represent the play between the forces of creation, preservation and dissolution. These energies invite you into non-resistance of what seems to be unraveling or dissolving in your life. Embrace what is breaking down. Consider it’s not either/or, but both.

The Muse
"She Who Inspires and Energizes Manifestation."
The way of the Muse is the way of epiphany. (epiphany is the sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something, apprehending its soul, an appearance or revelatory experience of the Divine, the showing through and recognition of essence). The Muse acknowledges and empowers through creative insight. The Muse is a means of access to hearing and sensing the soul's voice. The Muse's transcendent function in the Mystery is she represents metamorphosis of the soul, hence her association with the symbol of the butterfly.
In this aspect's shadow, sensitivity has often been shut down in the name of survival, in order not to feel. Often in the human reflection of this shadow, there is scattered and unfocused creativity, indecisiveness, boredom, avoidance, procrastination, lack of discipline and incompletion of that which has inspired one to create in the first place."
