The Reference Shelf
Books, decks, and esoteric guides that support my practice. I see this area as my study desk, where I explore and learn, stretch and grow. I sincerely hope that you find something here that inspires the same in you.
This shelf grows in Right Timing — slowly, intentionally, season by season.
Entries here are intentionally brief — longer reflections live in individual posts when they’re ready and will be linked in the entries when available.

A running list of decks I own — kept primarily as a personal reference to track my decks. For the decks I use often I have added a line or two about why they work so well for me.
🔮 Tarot Decks
Archangel Power Tarot — by Radleigh Valentine
This is the deck I turn to when I need clarity and kindness. It’s especially comforting during moments of fear, confusion, or emotional overload. Rather than amplifying anxiety, it steadies me — offering insight that feels protective and grounding instead of overwhelming. This deck communicates in a voice that is encouraging, validating, and gently directive. It doesn’t avoid truth, but it delivers it with compassion. Find my full review of this deck on my post regarding Archangel Power Tarot.
🔮 Oracle Decks
Practical Magic — by Serene Conneeley
This deck feels like a steady hand at my back — especially when I’m navigating emotional weight or gathering strength from the inside out. I reach for Practical Magic when I want reminders that resilience doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic. It’s about standing in your own power, even when the storm is still swirling. The voice of this deck is calm, affirming, and quietly strong. It doesn’t rush or demand — it invites. The messages feel rooted in lived experience, encouraging emotional honesty, self-trust, and gentle persistence rather than force.
Spirit of the Animals Oracle — by Jody Bergsma
This deck feels like stepping into a conversation with the natural world — one that’s both ancient and immediately relevant. I reach for Spirit of the Animals when I want guidance that feels bigger than my own perspective, especially when I’m seeking insight through symbols, cycles, and instinct rather than direct instruction.
