This deck was born out of having to find my own way after losing my mum. Before Her dying, I thought I had lost all I would. We know that our parents will die, but never really know, until they do. Change is constant. Loss, happens when you least expect it and in ways you may never have imagined.

Desperate for a way to maintain connection with my mum, I presented her with my favourite tarot decks, asked her which tarot deck she would want to use to communicate with me. With the deck she chose, I communicated with her for years, asking her questions, for advice, for affirmations, messages, signs, anything to feel connected. Using the tarot as prompts I also wrote her letters, created art for her and cultivated a practice of remembering and releasing. This deck is an extension of that.

I’ve taken words I’ve written, photos I’ve taken and art I’ve created to create this oracle deck, and so much more I can’twait to share. The images and art in this oracle deck, are a visual representation of the last 8 years. Over this time I travelled, creating my own pilgrimage, led by an internal compass so far removed from me, i had no idea until it recently, that i was travelling the path of my haplogroup L1b13a via a series of last minute field trips of self discovery, healing and renewal from Nubia to Spain with any stops in-between.

Each card carries a message, a sensation, and a practice—bridging the seen and unseen, the past and future, the self and the collective.

This deck is not about providing a prescribed method for processing your grief, it is about honouring grief’s process, giving it space, and allowing the body to guide you toward healing. Whether you are mourning a loss, navigating change or uncovering ancestral wounds, these cards are here to support you.

Finding a way through hard times and grief while deeply personal, often involves a mix of surrender and action — accepting what is, while also seeking movement forward. It can feel like a thick invisible veil, disturbing your vision. Making it even harder to move forward without parts of you that you’ve grown accustomed to, that have always been there.

I found it (and still do) hard to move forward without my mom, my babies that are no longer babies, old friends, ways of being, and so on, but I do. We, do. Somehow we find our way.

Watching my mom navigating the world as a black single mother, working so hard to make it seem easy instilled I'm me that there is always a way. So did her saying it over and over again in her daily prayers, pleading for the way to be shown, to be made, and ISTG, each and every time, a way was made, even if it's only made by taking one small step at a time, a way always appeared.

A way oracle deck does not come with rigid definitions. The images are fluid and will tell a different story each and every time you encounter them, just as emotions shift and stories evolve. You can use the deck alone, as a companion to other oracle and tarot decks, or as a mirror for whatever you are experiencing in the moment.

Multiple layers/themes of grief can be applied to your reading for deeper ex-ploration, below area few:

Ancestry + Lineage

These cards explore the grief carried through generations and the wisdom within our ancestral support system

Embodied Grief

These cards explore the physicality of grief and the ways it manifests in the body.

Transformation + Release

These cards focus on the process of letting go , evolving and embracing new forms of existence after loss.

Ritual + Ceremony

These cards center on creating sacred spaces for grief, honoring loss and inte-grating emotions

Cycles + Elements

These cards connect grief to nature’s rhythms and the elements that hold our sorrow

"A Way" suggests there isn’t just one path, but many. The journey through grief is non-linear, winding, and unique to each person. Sometimes the way is found in stillness, sometimes in seeking, and sometimes in unexpected moments of grace.
