Praise for The Transformation Oracle

Transformation Oracle
"It is a unique experience to be able to directly ask the author of an oracle deck questions in a classroom setting, and even more unique to be certified in a deck. Within the two days of the Transformation Oracle Weekend Intensive Workshop, it was genuinely an overnight expansion of my understanding of symbolism, how the cards connect to each other, spreads but mostly and surprisingly to me was how easily I can understand and read elements now. This understanding and new insight has even applied to the way I read the tarot suits as well, with more confidence and understanding of the symbolism and representations of the elements.
With the certification, I feel extremely confident and at ease applying for large fairs I thought I wasn't ready for. I could see the Transformation Oracle becoming an oracle standard, much like Lenormand, due
to the ease and accuracy of the system."
Transformation Oracle
"My very first reading with cards was done by Sonya with the Transformation Oracle Deck and it was so accurate and helped confirm to me my sense of purpose in continuing on my journey. I was fascinated by the positive energy of the cards and the way the elements were used to help me understand some of my own feelings. Since the class I've done a some readings for others and it has been a wonderful and enlightening experience. The Transformation Oracle Cards use of elements seems to help with the balance and the energy of individuals ever changing lives and serves as a tool of guidance for those seeking it."
Transformation Oracle
"As one who is both analytical and intuitive, this deck speaks clearly to me. Not only stunning and powerful, the Transformation Oracle deck is intuitive and feels so natural! Each card shows up at just the right moment for one seeking meaning and understanding. Based on the four elements and the eight phases of personal transformation, Transformation Oracle provides a system to navigate the many levels and phases of one’s life."
Transformation Oracle
"I read with my cards very very frequently now (I've even done a few parties!) and am really developing a relationship with the cards and using them to connect with Spirit. Every experience has been filled with light.
Transformation Oracle
"I love working with — and in — the layers of the Transformation Oracle cards. These cards provide direct personal insight to seekers and never fail to tell the truth!"
Transformation Oracle
"I met you today at the Athena Fair. I bought the last Transformation Oracle deck. I just had to write to you and tell you how amazing this deck is. I cannot believe the power it has. I just really wanted to thank you. I was wrestling with something and the card I drew tonight gave me the exact answer I needed.
You're such a gift to this world. I'm so grateful we crossed paths today. Brightest blessings to you in the future."
Transformation Oracle
"Using the Transformation Oracle is a process of growing and transforming similar to metamorphosis (butterfly) and each card holds an intuitive meaning for the seeker to discover the challenges, opportunities, changes with spiritual insight and joy."
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle Deck is truly captivating and grabs at the very essence of our life experiences. Allowing yourself to go deeper within the deck will truly help you take your readings to the next level! Sonya takes you on an intimate journey within each card and shares some of her priceless channeled experiences. She teaches you invaluable skills to see each card in it's true form and gives you personal insight to help you on your spiritual path. Be ready to be transformed in your own life as well! Don't wait another day to expand your vision, be enlightened, and have a Master Healer & Artist at your fingertips."
Transformation Oracle
"It is very clear to me the Transformation Oracle deck was channeled and created with great Love and Care. My readings for clients reflect that love. It is a positive, loving message to all who take the time to look and listen. There is no doom and gloom, no matter what layout I use. Even the reversed cards merely show our challenges or areas we need to grow or bring into balance. It is the perfect tool to use in your spiritual journey."
Transformation Oracle
"As a Native American, Anishinaabeg, the use of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air correlates to my own sense of spirituality, especially the Medicine Wheel. It is a deck that speaks the truth to me. It is a barometer of your own spiritual growth, gently moving you to new heights and brighter lights. I am shown where I am not in balance on my own spiritual journey, and the deck shows me, very clearly what my clients need to know. It is very empowering for both the reader and the client!"
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle Deck speaks to me through the amazing art and images created by Sonya Shannon. Using this deck for my client readings, I am able to cut through to the heart of the message/answers they are seeking. This deck confirms what they already know, but may not be ready to accept or trust their own judgement. It hits the nail on the head every time!"
Transformation Oracle
"I had been looking for a Tarot deck, but none called me like yours did. Your Oracle cards have positive energy and are a work of God who has chosen you to deliver this inspiring message. I am amazed feeling how your art just flows. It captures Life! There is a story behind each picture, inspiring, warm, touching, and beautiful."
Transformation Oracle
"I found peace this morning with Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle deck and was presented with a 'present' of Ascent. What a wonderful spiritual gift these messages are. Thank you Sonya! I am grounded again this morning, looking only toward the light and positive and am ready to fly!"
Transformation Oracle
"Meaningful art in the Resolution card. Beautiful expression in words and in the painting. My goodness you are talented!"
Transformation Oracle
"I gave my daughter a set of Transformation cards during a recent visit. She did her past, present, future reading, and she was amazed at how right on they were at this stage in her life. Thank you for doing this. You are truly a goddess with an amazing gift for helping so many people!"
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle is the most beautiful, intriguing and inspiring source of support and guidance for anyone's journey. I felt the magic and mystic power the minute I opened the box! I love that the spreads and perspectives to ponder are endless. It's a lifetime of love and loveliness for my soul!"
Transformation Oracle
"The neat thing about the Transformation Oracle is that it's not just another deck of cards. The artwork is amazing, yes, but this deck shows people that are average, that you can imagine yourself in their situation, not like Tarot Cards and their strange deities that I can't relate to."
Transformation Oracle
"For what I need to Transform in my life during the coming months I used the Transformation Oracle and got the Temptation card, which addressed my question perfectly. I DO have the tendency to just jump into things with both feet, and I DO have the tendency to place a lot more faith and trust in others than I do in myself. In any case, this card was pretty eye-opening as an answer to my question, and definitely right on."
Transformation Oracle
"I choose a Transformation Oracle card every morning as I sit down to breakfast and I'm constantly amazed at how appropriate the message is! Love them!"
Transformation Oracle
"Of the three Transformation Oracle sets I got, one I gave away, one I kept and now a friend who specializes in Therapeutic Touch wants to buy the third one to use with her patients!"
Transformation Oracle
"Your cards are a huge source of support and guidance. Thank you - I truly feel the Universe had my need in mind—along with many others—when it led you to create your beautiful artwork and Transformation Cards."
Transformation Oracle
"The Purification card with the artwork And Everything Emptying Into White is a great example of learning the story of a painting to appreciate the imagery more. I am interested to learn a peacock's colors come from the toxic food it eats. What fabulous symbology!"
Transformation Oracle
"In the guide book for the Connection card, where it says, "Thank you for this love," what a statement! It is easy to forget the magic, but your painting brings it all back."
Transformation Oracle
"I love the Direction card, where it says, "Not deciding IS a decision..." Wonderful advice! Beautiful colors and movement."
Transformation Oracle
"Master artist Sonya Shannon brings her wisdom, compassionate heart, and immense talent to bless us with this inspired offering of guidance on our spiritual journey."
Transformation Oracle
"I've been using your cards almost daily for the past few months early in the morning, before or after meditation. They have become such a gift and joy to use! It's like they speak directly to my soul...a little bright encouragement for each day. I can't believe the way my life has changed since I walked into your class to learn about them. Life has transformed (!) and become so much more wonderful and fun. You make such a difference doing what you do. The warmest thank you to you!"
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle deck invites you to look deeper into your own transformation with an open heart and an honest mind."
Transformation Oracle
"I am so pleased to have The Transformation Oracle as another tool I can use to gain insight into my clients (and my own) life. Sonya's deck is full of wisdom and transmits a deeper understanding every time I use it. The workshop was a perfect balance of instruction and experiential learning. Thank you!"

to the ease and accuracy of the system."
Transformation Oracle
"I have taken many, many workshops and nothing comes close! Everything is done with the Sonya love, genius, and creative soul that makes all her workshops unique. I loved the private online meets with my partners, loved how we mixed up and changed partners."
Transformation Oracle
"Everything was very well executed. I liked the online format and the ability to practice with others. I gained a more in-depth understanding of the cards, the meanings of the art work and symbols. I thought the print outs of the information you compiled was an awesome tool that we will be able to refer to as we continue on this journey."
Transformation Oracle
"This class is for everyone. I leaned so much from more experienced readers and also grew to trust my instincts while reading. To learn from the artist and creator of the Transformation Oracle deck is definitely a big plus! I love the beautiful imagery of the cards. They “feel” right. The format of the class was very well orchestrated. The online practice readings went better than I thought. I thought I would be better reading a person and their energy face to face, and that virtual would be not as clear. But that wasn’t the case, I felt connected to each person and the readings felt right.
Transformation Oracle
"I very much enjoyed reading with each other. I gained that I have the ability to feel and read oracle cards. I feel more confident in my abilities and gifts that I can offer to people. I loved the slides and colorful presentations. I would take any class possible with Sonya. She is an amazing person that has so much care, love and talent to share."
Transformation Oracle
"I was introduced to the Transformation Oracle by Certified reader Jeanette Peasley and fell in love with the artwork! When I attended the weekend workshop I was amazed at how the connection and interaction was with God, myself and the Transformation Oracle. I felt like had come home, that this was a big part of who I am but was never allowed to be myself. I felt alive and awake! Transformation is what I have been experiencing since that weekend and it’s gets better and better everyday! I encourage you who are reading this to try a reading, a class or just look through the artwork and see how the Transformation Oracle speaks to you!"
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle Workshop is the perfect foundation to build lasting change in your personal life and in the lives of those around you. Sonya Shannon is leading the way towards the evolution of humankind!"
Transformation Oracle
"Sonya is an amazing guide through the discovery of her beautiful Oracle deck. The insights of her impressions of each of the cards were awesome. She provided detailed information within the workshop and we got plenty of hands-on experience. Sonya is a beautiful Light in this world and she is very supportive as you gain your confidence with working with the cards. I have been doing Tarot readings for many, many years and I gained additional spreads and insights on readings. I highly recommend her workshops."
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle Weekend Intensive Workshop challenged me to look deeper into the meaning of each card and allow the messages from the Divine to Flow. I've never explored cards quite in this way before. Someone had once suggested to get to know each card one at a time, but it always seemed so daunting and like it would take forever. These assignments have allowed me to explore each of the cards in a deeper way. And it's not just the assignments, but also the phases of transformation and the elements. Thank you!"
Transformation Oracle
"I attended the Certification Workshops I through III, and was so taken that I had to attend the next Weekend Intensive Workshop! Sonya generously extends her knowledge and love of the deck and the Oracle reading process, and this sharing forms a bond among all present. The workshops are essential to understanding the depth and meaning of each card, allowing a Reader to give accurate and insightful readings."
Transformation Oracle
"Sonya Shannon's amazing art work comes to life as she takes you on journey of personal self discovery and insight in her weekend intensive classes with the Transformational Oracle Cards. Whether you are new to oracle card reading or a seasoned veteran, you will love this class. Her stories and in-depth spiritual downloads will keep you on the edge of your seats, begging for more — 3 days is just not enough. The seekers that are magical, drawn to this class, fill the room with their high vibration. Everyone's gifts come out over the course of this weekend, as you are transformed though the cards."
Transformation Oracle
"Hi my beautiful and inspirational teacher! I am forever thankful for the gift that you have given me with the scholarship. I do readings frequently. As a Transformation Oracle scholarship winner, I loved every second of reading at the metaphysical fairs. I am so incredibly thankful that you have given me the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. I was just thanking the Universe today for you helping to open the door to this part of my journey. My heart is filled to the brim with so much deep deep gratitude. I can't wait to work another show!!"
Transformation Oracle
"I loved the one-on-one training I received from Sonya! Our class was just the right size & we were able to learn, practice & grow with each other. Intuition, insight, 'Ah-Ha's!"
Transformation Oracle
"Since your wonderful class, many things have happened. I am finally headed in a lighted direction away from the darkness that seemed to follow me for so long. I have used your teachings and the cards many times to help me through the past months of despair. They provided me with peace, light, and hope when I needed it most. You will never know or understand how much your class and the beautiful cards have helped me make it through each day. I wish for you to ALWAYS have God's blessings for you to continue spreading the knowledge and warmth that you do. It has meant a great deal to me as I'm sure it has to many others you have helped over the years."
Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle has helped me tremendously to connect to myself, to trust my inner wisdom and to be a conscious creator of my life."
Transformation Oracle
"I have to agree with Sandy, an angel on earth seems pretty close to the truth. Thank you so much for a wonderful set of workshops Sonya! I loved how you integrated spirit working through you, the knowledge you shared and your amazing artwork into an intuitive and logically presented workshop. Working on that first assignment now..."
Transformation Oracle
"It was such an honor and blessing to participate in this course! I learned so much about myself and about this beautiful transformative oracle deck! I look forward to finding out all the stories that will be touched by this gift of divine wisdom! Thank you Universe /GOD for always providing a multitude of love and giving us such a variety of tools for understanding and communication to assist ourselves as well as others on this journey of life! Thank you Sonya Shannon for being willing to be the gift you are and for sharing your talents, wisdom, insight, and heart with us through your connections! Thank you fellow classmates for such an amazing experience. I appreciate the gift that each of you are!"
Transformation Oracle
"Thank you Sonya Shannon for a fantastic workshop, I loved every minute of it. I am looking forward to applying what I have learned to bring awareness and love to people who are seeking answers. Your Transformation Oracle cards are an answer to prayer to heal and seek wisdom for those looking for the truth. Thank you to each class member, your energy and love came as a blessing and I am grateful for the experience and opportunity to meet you."
Transformation Oracle
"A lot of classes have come my way and each time I’m ready to pay for a class, I changed my mind (it didn’t FEEL right). However, there was no hesitation for your class. The moment I walked into the classroom, I felt that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Your energy, soul and precise information was a breath of fresh air. I learned so much from you and the others in the class. My journey of awakening has been quite incredible! Everyday, spirit is helping me stay on my path to heal and help others."
Transformation Oracle
"I have attended three of your Oracle classes and it was such a pleasure. I was immediately drawn to your cards because of the Native Americans and the animals used in your paintings. You bring such a loving and peaceful presence to the class. There is so much to learn and receive from spirit and your guidance brings it all to the reader. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us."
Transformation Oracle
"I went into Sonya's Transformation Oracle workshop as a total beginner. I was a little apprehensive about walking through the door, yet the cards and the class kept calling to me! I'm so glad I went. Sonya conveyed the information needed to get started beautifully, and I left feeling empowered that not only did I have a good feel for what I was doing, but that my gut instincts could be trusted as well. Thank you!"
Transformation Oracle
"The workshops were packed full of information, beautifully presented, and encouraged interaction. Hearing a variety of perspectives and interpretations from all the participants allowed me to expand my understanding of both the cards and the layouts."
Transformation Oracle
"During the Transformation Oracle Certification Workshops, time was suspended and the wealth of information poured flawlessly. We were encouraged to ask questions and interact by reading cards with a partner. And, we changed partners, so we could interact and learn, with and from, each other—an irreplaceable experience!"
Transformation Oracle
"I realized during the Transformation Oracle Workshops that the breadth and depth of the symbolism used in creating each and every card is amazing. Each time I looked at a card, something new would jump out to me. The sacred geometry, the role the I Ching played, the use of elements, the Light and models all interact to give me, as a reader, a full and complete message for my clients. I can’t imagine ever using another deck…"
Transformation Oracle
"Being a Certified Transformation Oracle Reader means I am able to reassure my clients I know what I am doing! It is my goal to give valuable and accurate for my clients. I am now confident I can empower them in their Spiritual Journey!"
Transformation Oracle
"I am proud of myself for working to obtain the title of Certified Transformation Oracle Reader. I took the Certification Course to learn all I could. I learned a lot more than I ever expected to about such an inspirational deck. The lectures were invaluable and always too short for my taste. I just wanted to learn all I could, as fast as I could. Documenting my readings using the different layouts proved to be even more interesting. I could see how quickly I was learning to use the images and their placement in a layout. It is a very short learning curve, unlike my previous experience with Tarot cards!"
Transformation Oracle
"Sonya is extremely gifted at drawing out the best in people and helping them come to awareness of their potential. I feel that I have benefited from every stage of the process—from defining my goals and acknowledging the tools I have, to meditating deeply into acceptance."
Transformation Oracle
"There are few teachers that you remember in your lifetime, but Sonya is one of them. She gave me the foundation I needed to step outside my comfort zone. Today, I pattern my style on what Sonya taught me."
Transformation Oracle
"Sonya is an inspiring, patient and articulate teacher: a beautiful, gentle and kind-spirited instructor. I am grateful for Sonya's enthusiasm, direction and inspiration."
Transformation Oracle
"I got more out of one of Sonya's 3 hour-workshops than I did with the whole Angel Card Practitioner series."
Transformation Oracle
"Sonya really helped us understand how the cards speak to us individually and collectively."
Transformation Oracle
"I just felt like Sonya was a channel for the energy imbued in the cards."
Transformation Oracle
"I am so pleased to have The Transformation Oracle as another tool I can use to gain insight into my clients (and my own) life. Sonya's deck is full of wisdom and transmits a deeper understanding every time I use it. The workshop was a perfect balance of instruction and experiential learning. Thank you!"

Transformation Oracle
"The Transformation Oracle is the most accurate and inspiring deck I’ve ever worked with! What a privilege it was to study it under the Divine guidance of Sonya. It is my pleasure to carry it forward in readings that help people to navigate this wild, whacky and wonderful life!"
Transformation Oracle
"When I first met Sonya at a Body, Mind, Spirit fair I was drawn to her gentle and kind spirit. I was already seeking ways of transforming the gifting I have with the Spirit and working with different tools to help continue my healing work. After receiving a reading from Sonya I realized I wanted to help others in this way. I was excited to have the opportunity to take her Transformation Oracle weekend. It was an awakening and enlightening experience that I hope to bring to others through the Transformation Oracle readings I give. I have no doubt that Spirit brought her into my life as a teacher for me to continue to gain knowledge. I recommend this class for anyone seeking transformation or to deepen the use of their gifting."
Transformation Oracle
"The courses slide were amazing like a Gallery of art and inspiration — beautiful — each card a masterpiece of visual artistry. The practice readings were a wonderful bonus! Great connection to others' perspective and intuition. I gained a deeper understanding of the meanings of the cards, they have taken on the new world energies. Anyone who is will to go inside to learn about their True Self would benefit. The overall presentation was very professional, insightful, and beautiful."
Transformation Oracle
"I can not say enough about how AWESOME the handouts made the class—they were beautiful with color and the explanations were organized into different groups. There was even places for you own personal notations. I really liked the online classroom more than I had initially thought I would. It was very easy to understand the explanations and examples. The groups were easy to work with the person you were grouped with. And since I did not have to leave home it was very comfortable and not rushed. Sonya makes the classroom experience so peaceful and calming that you have no other option but to grow and flourish this environment."
Transformation Oracle
"I especially recommend the direct experience of Sonya's wealth of personal spiritual and professional experience that she shares openly, and easily, inviting all in her workshop to embrace their individual truth. Everything is done with the Sonya love, genius, and creative soul that makes all her workshops an experience that is unique. I have taken many, many workshops and nothing comes close! Handouts presented so professionally, with lots of visuals, beautiful graphics and so full of wisdom, knowledge, experience, and a clarity that makes them deceptively easy to understand. I loved the private meets with my partners, loved how we mixed up and changed partners."
Transformation Oracle
"I've been using your cards almost daily for the past few months early in the morning, before or after meditation. They have become such a gift and joy to use! It's like they speak directly to my soul...a little bright encouragement for each day. I can't believe the way my life has changed since I walked into your class to learn about them. Life has transformed (!) and become so much more wonderful and fun. You make such a difference doing what you do. The warmest thank you to you!"
