The Coastal Crow (and Raven) Tarot
This deck is available for Pre-Order: I am finished with the Major Arcana and two thirds the way through the Minor Arcana. This deck will ship at the END OF NOVEMBER.
The Coastal Crow (and Raven) Tarot began one afternoon at Jackson Beach, a beach just outside of Friday Harbor. Many crows live all along that stretch of shoreline whereas ravens can be found at the other beaches. One afternoon my kiddo and I parked to eat our lunch at Jackson Beach. She rolled down the window and held out a french fry. In seconds, crows and gulls dropped in like a scene from The Birds. Then, just as fast, they lifted off and the beach went quiet again. That little chaos-to-calm swing stuck with me. It is how life moves.
When we are not dangling fries out the window, our shorelines are deeply relaxing. That is the energy I brought into this deck. Every card starts with a photograph I took on the island. From Cattle Point, to Lime Kiln, its hard not to find inspiration at the beach. Along with images of the coastline and water, I also take pictures of feathers, shells, driftwood, seaweed to include on each card. The goal for this deck is simple: create artwork that reflects the energy I feel while at the beach and in turn create a resource that offers a calm reading, even when the seas feel rough.
Clear, grounded, and quiet. This deck helps slow things down so you can see what is in front of you and choose the next step with less noise.

The Fool:
Keywords: Spontaneous, Faith, Leap
The Fool marks a beginning, an open and unencumbered step into the unknown, like the first footprint at the waterline. It is a permission slip to start before you have every answer, to follow curiosity and align action with honest desire rather than inherited scripts. There is a caution as steady as the undertow: freedom without awareness becomes carelessness. The Fool invites trust rather than denial and responsiveness rather than impulsivity. Every beginning is sacred, but not an escape from consequences. Meet life the way waves meet the sand, fully and again, letting wonder lead while you stay awake to context, learning with each return.
The Fool is a fresh start that asks you to act from virtue, accept what comes, and adjust without drama. Say yes with eyes open, plan lightly, move with intention, and keep your freedom by refusing to be ruled by fear or by fantasy. Let courage rise and fall like the tide, and step forward when it comes back to meet you. It reveals our capacity to begin without the armor of certainty. In the end, the Fool teaches that a meaningful life starts here, with one honest step, guided by character and tolerant of uncertainty.
