In this episode, I’m talking about the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle – Velvet Goddess Edition by Alana Fairchild, with artwork by Wang Yiguang. This is my very first oracle deck, and it has become a tender, powerful companion for seasons of deep inner work, grief, and gentle transformation.

My Story with This Deck

I found the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle in one of those tiny, overflowing witchy shops in Beacon, New York—crystals packed on every surface, herbs in jars, shelves stacked to the ceiling. I’d been half-looking for a new tarot deck, but nothing was quite landing.

Then I saw this huge, deep purple box with “Wild Kuan Yin Oracle: Velvet Goddess Edition” on the front.

I picked it up. Put it back. Circled the store. Came back to it. You know that feeling when a deck just won’t stop calling you? That was this one.
