This 44-card oracle by Nina Mongendre and illustrator Edith Pijpers is built around inner child work: recognising, comforting, and healing the younger version of yourself. The soft, colourful illustrations create a calm atmosphere, while the guidebook offers three layers per card: an invitation, a message from the inner child, and a visualisation.
The final card in the deck is called Love, and that choice says everything about where the work is headed.

Inner child work depends entirely on the atmosphere a deck creates. Too heavy, and you withdraw. Too light, and nothing moves. The Healing the Inner Child Oracle by Nina Mongendre strikes a balance that few decks manage.
The illustrations by Edith Pijpers are soft and colourful, almost picture-book in quality, but the guidebook content is serious and layered. That contrast is intentional, and it works.
The visual language is figurative and warm: rounded shapes, clear colours, no hard outlines. Each card represents an emotion, a pattern, or an inner state without becoming heavy or confrontational. Cards like Grief, Fear, Shadow, and Coming Home are clearly named, and the illustrations match each one closely.
The deck contains 44 cards. The final card is called Love, and the choice to close the deck this way says something deliberate about the whole.
The 128-page guidebook offers three layers per card: an invitation, a message from the inner child, and a journey in the form of a visualisation. These are not brief keywords but fully written texts that actively carry you through a process.
Alongside the card descriptions, the guidebook includes practical techniques for calming the nervous system and building resilience. It also addresses three distinct ways of working with the cards: the spoken word, writing, and visualisation.
The guidebook opens with a prayer to the Divine Mother, adapted from Andrew Harvey. That sets the tone clearly: this is not a neutral workbook, but a text with an explicit spiritual foundation.
Nina Mongendre works as a coach and healer, teaches yoga and meditation, and has a background in neuro-emotional coaching and family constellations. That shows in the guidebook: the texts are not surface-level, but rooted in a clear therapeutic approach.
Illustrator Edith Pijpers has worked on children's books and public murals, and created a cover illustration for a new edition of Deepak Chopra's The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Her style fits precisely the gentle accessibility this deck is designed around.
Draw one card per day, read through its three layers in the guidebook, then write for five minutes. The guidebook itself recommends this approach, and it gives the work more traction than a single pull.
Nina Mongendre runs a private coaching and healing practice, teaches yoga and meditation, and works as a shamanic energy medicine practitioner and neuro-emotional coach. She also facilitates family constellations and works with inherited family trauma. She is the founder of the online lifestyle store sagemoon.com.
Edith Pijpers is a self-taught artist who began selling work at local street fairs and later moved to selling globally online. She has self-published more than ten children's books and illustrated books for Cuento de Luz, a children's book publisher in Spain. She also created a cover illustration for a reissue of Deepak Chopra's The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.
Can you use this deck without prior experience in inner child work?
Yes. The guidebook explains the background and working method step by step, including the three ways of engaging: speaking, writing, and visualising. No prior knowledge is required, though the themes do ask a willingness to meet personal material honestly.
What language are the cards and guidebook in?
Both are entirely in English. The card titles are printed in English, and the guidebook is available in English only.
