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 it 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 Diving appointments.
This is how my oracle decks came to be.
The imagery brought to me medicine and called to be shared with sacred word
past through 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 later, death would come and shatter it. The depressions and self harm had been brought on by ancestral wounding's and the trauma I had experienced as a child, that was true. And as 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 from being a victim to shifting my story to one who was victimized. And in that awakening the spiraling up and the spiraling down of everything I had been brought up 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 my story was a significant part of my healing. It allowed me a place to be honest about my human, and heal my shame. 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 and 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.

"...Catherine's medicine is sculpting from what's revealed and honouring it's presence." ~Sweet Medicine
“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
