WORD MEDICINE & ANIMAL MEDICINE ORACLE DECKS
One of my healing practices comes through, what I call, Intuitive photography. I collect what I am inspired to collect and then pass 
on the medicine to myself and others. 
Every collected image has the power to affect the spirit, body and mind of the one looking at it. Whether if be Mother Earth in all her splendor or the gift of an animal encounter or a commissioned session, I see them all as Divine appointments.
This is how my oracle decks came to be.
The imagery brought to me medicine that called to be shared alongside the sacred word ​past to me by Spirit, the animal and what was experienced in the moment of collection.
These decks come from a place of deep love, devotion and honouring of this human life. May they be a blessing to all who work with them, as they have been to me.
​Love Light and Shadow,
​Catherine

​Medicine Bundles
Medicine Bundles are a collection of sacred natural objects wrapped and bundled together for  a spiritual  purpose.
The use and nature of these bundles varies. Bundles can be held by individuals and are symbols of their individual spiritual paths, while others are owned by groups/tribes or associations and are associated with the spiritual well-being of the larger group.

Each  medicine bundle I put together, is made intuitively with the guidance I receive from Spirit and my guides during prayer and meditation. Every bundle starts with a sacred mix of tobacco, sage, cedar and sweet grass representing the four directions along with lavender and strawberry leaf for The Grandmother and Grandfather Elders.
I am then intuitively  guided as to what else will go into the bundle according
​ to the individuals  purpose and need.
Purposes vary for each individual, and there is no request too small.
Some examples are for healing, traveling, entering a new season, getting through a challenging situation
and seeking change or transformation.
There may also be a desire to call in Love , Protection,  Clarity, Prosperity or Joy. 

​Medicine Bundles are $10 sm $20 lrg

​This is the story of Me.
How I learned to re-birth and remember so I could re-member how to live connected to my-Self, the Great Mystery, the Universe, Spirit, Love and all of Life.
After a life long battle with depression and an addiction to self harm, it was birth that started to crack the darkness I walked in and then, a number of years later, death would come and shatter it. I was catapulted into my healing journey I began to learn that what happened to me was not all that I was. This realization moved me to shifting my story and how I saw myself. In that awakening the deconstruction of everything I had been taught to believe, as unshakable truth, began. This book took almost 8 years to write, as I was learning, growing and transforming along the way. Writing down most of my story was a significant part of my healing. It allowed me a place to be honest about my human, and begin to heal my shame, and learn to see myself as whole and sacred. My desire is that it might do the same for the one who reads it. It's important for me to tell you that I am still on my healing journey. I will be till the last breath leaves my body.

​"I founds myself in many moment of sacred pause throughout this book. Catherine's story telling is direct and intimate...she weaves a solid ground of storytelling that feels pure and untainted. I found myself in moments of full-on heart bursting grief and hope. This story will show you how to unearth the creation of love in an unloving environment...how it's possible to discover the source of self as a divine and deserving creature." ~Nissa Howard. Sacred individualist.

“My photo session with Catherine was soul-stirring. She not only collected moments, she also collected the real me, the one I try to hide from the world. In her scared space, I felt safe, present, and my Self.
​Through her lens, I was able to heal my view of me.” ~ Heather Dakota

​A persistent and provocative question has been worrying at the back of Rev. Jessica Steward’s mind for her entire life: How do we remake the world into a place where everyone who has felt excluded, left out, or othered—anyone who thinks a little different, sees the beauty of the world in a different way, or who has never quite fit in—are not only welcomed but celebrated?
