Mama Needed a Break

Writer: Katharina TinklKatharina Tinkl

Since you are reading this, you will most likely know that I self-published my first oracle last year.


And you might also understand that, after about four years of working on it, once it was out in the world, I DESPERATELY needed a break from it.


I still loved it, but, hell yeah, mama needed a break!


Don’t get me wrong, I still rejoiced when I saw people loving the deck and working with it, sharing it on Instagram and so on.


But I hardly touched it myself. Maybe, 'twas the creative equivalent of post-partum depression …


But every now and then, I would glance over at my white Billy shelf from Ikea that I bought off a friend last year when I moved into my beautiful and incredibly cosy, fairy-light-filled flat by Lake Constance in Germany – and my eyes would land on the board with my decks on it.


I would then pick up a copy, take it in my hands, open it, look through the cards, and be like:


“Damn it, I created this! It did not exist before, but now it does. I made this happen.”


And I would feel so much love and appreciation for this deck – the cards with their rose-touch lamination, the thick box, the full-colour booklet that was edited by the – in my opinion – best editor in the world (and the only editor I want for any of my future books, of which I already have several in the pipeline, but more on that later, all in good time), Gemma Knight.


I love the colours and the rounded corners.


I love how my vision manifested into reality.


All this is a great reminder of our creative power. We can bring things into existence. We are very powerful beings. We can not only only cause chaos and destruction (as some people believe, and the state of the world kinda does back them up on that one) but also create beauty.


So let this email be your reminder that you can achieve what you’ve set out to achieve, create what you are dreaming of creating, and birth into being what wants to be birthed through you.


The Return of the White Animals oracle is the living proof of it.


And if you don’t own a copy of it yet, despite being on this list and reading these emails, honestly, what are you doing with your life?


These animals want to be by your side.


So let them. ;)



Love,

Katharina
