Creatrix Awakened Oracle - shamanic symbolism for feminine leadership
Not every oracle asks the same questions. This deck focuses on activating creative energy and making visible what Shannon Van Den Berg calls 'sovereign leadership'. These are not loose concepts. The cards work with archetypes and symbolism rooted in ancient shamanic traditions.
The deck consists of 33 cards. Each card is fully illustrated by Stephanie Wicker-Campbell in a style that is colourful and dense with detail. The images are not meant to be decorative, but as visual starting points for intuitive work.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations combine feminine figures with natural elements, animals and symbolic objects. Colours are saturated, contours are clear. The visual language aligns with what you often see in modern oracle decks with a spiritual focus, but concentrated around themes such as transformation, inner power and authenticity.
Each card carries a name that refers to a specific aspect of feminine experience or leadership. The symbolism is layered enough to return to multiple times.
How the guidebook works
The included guidebook runs to 126 pages. For each card you will find not only a meaning, but also a concrete exercise. These exercises are designed to make the message of the card tangible in your daily life. This is not a theoretical book. It asks for action.
In addition to the card descriptions, the guidebook contains background information on the way Van Den Berg works with archetypes and transformation. This provides context, but is not a requirement for working with the cards.
Pull a card, read the exercise in the guidebook and carry it out before you start your day. The exercises are short enough to be manageable.
Who this deck works for
This oracle is aimed at people interested in feminine archetypes and personal transformation. The tone is spiritual, the approach practical. The deck asks for self-reflection and the willingness to engage with your shadow side.
The guidebook is clear enough for beginners, but the themes do assume an interest in deeper inner work. This is not a deck for a loose daily card without further context.

Questions we often get
Can the cards be used without the exercises from the guidebook?
Yes. The images are rich enough to work with independently. The exercises deepen the work, but are not a requirement.
Is this deck exclusively aimed at women?
The themes and symbolism focus on feminine archetypes and experiences. That does not exclude others, but it is where the emphasis lies.
