 About Cards
While participating in a spiritual author’s writing programme during 2010 where mentoring was given by author Neale Donald Walsh, I felt inspired to create the Oracle Cards for Colour Mirrors. I recommend this writing programme to my students to study the process of writing, publishing and marketing a book. For more details please visit the link below.

How it all began
During the 2010 Colour Mirrors Conference in Slovenia I started having conversations with Korani (Colour Mirrors partner) about creating oracle cards to help us make accessible to others what Colour Mirrors and colour therapy is all about. After the conference, my partner Paul drove me and Melissie Jolly (the founder of Colour Mirrors system) to see the sights of Venice. While visiting St Marco’s Basilica, Melissie noticed an image placed in tiles on the floor of the main entrance. We instantly recognised the sacred symbol of the merkaba in various shades of blacks and browns.
The merkaba in sacred geometry represents the shape of the energy field around the human body and is believed to be in exact proportion to Leonardo DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man (reference Drunvalo Melchezidek The Flower of Life). The merkaba image was adapted to represent the colours we find in our energy field and became the cover design for the cards.
A few weeks after our trip to Venice, Melissie visited England and we laid out 44 card size pieces of blank paper; we then placed on them the 18 Colour, 11 Angel, 9 Dragon and 6 Elemental bottles. One by one we felt our way into their names. This was an exciting process because the bottles already had their own names; what would they want to be called as oracle cards? I then connected to each bottle over the next few months and wrote down the wisdom and guidance they shared. The process of channelling written words was new to me and I found I could only connect with one or two colour bottles a day.
Whenever we connect with colour consciously it takes us on an inward journey of self-discovery. Even though I have been working with these bottles for many years, they seemed to reach another level of my cells through this writing process and often I became stuck with 'writer's block' which I recognised as issues coming up that needed clearing. The insights and wisdom that Neale Donald Walsh shared in the writing programme became invaluable to help me stay focussed and disciplined to work through the blocks, and of course plenty of dipping into colour baths to lift the stories from my body!
The whole project took a year to complete with the longest process being the work I did with the graphic designer Mark Perry - who by some miracle combined photography, graphics and Melissie's artist friend, Hettie Saaiman's original artwork into the images you now see on the cards. To get the colours exactly right and proofed took many months of trial.
The cards are intended to help you learn some of the meanings of the different colours, as well as to receive personal guidance and insights when you need it. I did not want the reader's experience with colour to end with the cards. Readers are encouraged to listen to FREE meditations linked to each card on my website; explore further the explanations offered about colour therapy in the mini-book through FREE videos; and of course to buy the colour bottle or bottles you are drawn to for self-help therapy.
Melissie, Korani and I hope that you continue to find inspiration and insights through colour and that the oracle cards have somehow deepened your own experiences with the spectrum of light.

Conducting a Card Reading
There are several ways that you can conduct a colour card reading. Below are some examples that will help you get started. However, colour is one of the most intuitive connections you can make for guidance and insights, so always trust your own methods and feelings when working with the deck.
Ask a Question: Shuffle the deck and bring to your mind a question or a person that you would like guidance on. Fan out the card and select the one you feel drawn to. You can do this with the deck face up or face down. Study the card and feel how the words impact on your question. For further insights go to the website and listen to the free meditation.
Past/Present/Future: Shuffle the deck and draw 3 cards, the first card will represent insights into how the issue you are enquiring about impacted on your past and how it blocked you. This card also says that this is what you have learned and can now help others with. The second card shows how your situation is currently being experienced and the effect it is having on your reality. This is also the card that will guide you to the colour or bottle that could help you shift the issue and move on. The third card is the outcome once you let go of the block, what will it feel or look like to be free of the issue. Remember there are spiritual principles behind these cards, often the message of what needs to be cleared will be judgements, guilt, and an inability to love yourself or claim your personal power. Colour is a spiritual tool of empowerment.
