Update: A lot has changed for me since this book was published. I’m currently seeking to regain the rights to the project and will share more when I can.

Oracle deck and guidebook · CICO Books, 2022

Unusual Animal Messages is an oracle deck featuring overlooked and underappreciated animal guides—like the cockroach, axolotl, and tardigrade—each offering insights rooted in their real-life traits. The project combines hand-painted gouache artwork with reflections on resilience, intuition, and transformation.

This deck was created to encourage a fresh perspective on the animal kingdom and ourselves, inviting readers to find wisdom in the unexpected and strength in the strange. With themes ranging from mindfulness to letting go, it weaves science, spirit, and storytelling together into a tactile, emotionally rich experience.
