Reversal card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Reversal

Re-assess what you have lost… and what you still have. This is the last card in the element Air.

Wisdom card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Wisdom

Take command of YOU! Give yourself permission to know what you know. If you got this card, you already know that you need to listen to yourself now.

Ascent card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Ascent

Rise up! Take the higher ground. Let your opponents fall below. This card is medicine if you find your mind replaying negative interactions with others: family members, co-workers, “friends.” Every one of us is capable of bad behavior on occasion.

Read about Mirrors in the Transformation Oracle Deck. Incorporate the old self of childhood into your adult self of today. This card is about wholeness and integrity.

Immigration card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Immigration

Walk in the other person’s shoes. This card is all about opening your mind. When we judge others, our mind is closed.

Set your course and go! This card is about buckling down with a pen and napkin and brainstorming.

Temptation card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Temptation

Watch out! Investigate before risking your money… or your heart. This card is a warning to slow down and resist the temptation.

Receptivity card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Receptivity

Listen to the music. The Universe’s rhythms will guide you. This card is about receptivity but also about sensitivity – how to discern what’s worth bothering with. We can’t possibly tune into everything coming our way! Each day we’re bombarded with more information than a human brain can possibly process. Discernment isn’t automatic – we [...]

Direction card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Direction

Slow down, clarify, and rein in. Then commit to a single path. If you got this card, it is time to get grounded. The air element can be dizzying, with multiple ideas and options scattering our attention, blowing our minds every which way. So many possibilities! Yet we can only do one thing at a [...]

Trickster card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Trickster

Laugh at your mistakes! Bring lightness and humor to life’s difficulties. This is the first card in the element Air. If you drew this card, you’ve probably just realized that you have to start again. Not that you were going in the “wrong” direction or that what you did was a “failure.” It’s just that [...]
