Desert Dreamwalk Oracle LWB
Created by Kristen @Over The Moon Oracle Cards
INTRODUCTION
Desert Dreamwalk Oracle is a 50-card deck featuring photographic digital collage
images set in a desert landscape. Photos from Unsplash.com and Pixabay.com were
edited, using several apps on my iPad, to create a simple visual scene. My intention was
to create an oracle deck with keywords and images that flowed together seamlessly into
a single message or story.
My original idea for this deck was to blend the Create This Oracle Deck challenges from
2017 and 2018 together. You’ll notice that the card names and meanings relate to many
of the challenge prompts from both years. The deck is an homage to the myriorama
effect in the Oracle Dessuart, a deck I owned many years ago. Finally, the cards were
also designed as a complementary deck to another one still in progress, Oracle of the
Ancients. It’s a deck featuring an extraterrestrial or planetary themes and I wanted this
deck to complement it with a terrestrial theme.

IDEAS FOR USING THIS DECK
Here are a few ideas for using the deck but don’t let them limit your own creativity and
imagination.
Pull 2 cards and lay them side by side. Imagine they are part of the same scene.
What story do they tell?
This combination looks like someone feels attacked and is turning away from an
offering of love.

Pull 3 cards and lay them side by side. String the keywords together into a
sentence. What message are you being given?
This message seems pretty clear: Offering blessings of joy.

7
Each card contains a form of light -- either a light flare, stars or other lights
in the sky. Pull a card. What do you think the light source conveys in this card?
I imagine that the light flare coming from the peephole represents the light from an
alternate universe.

You’ll notice there are quite a few cards with disembodied hands
interacting with the scene. Pull a card. Imagine you can reach into the card and
interact with it. What would your hand be doing?
I imagine Excalibur and pulling the sword out of the stone. In this case, the sword
might represent internal power rather than external force. Also claiming one’s rightful
place.

Creation-Destruction Spread for the making of the Desert Dreamwalk
Oracle
The creation of this deck was indeed a MENAGERIE or collection of diverse concepts
pulled into one. The desire to combine two sets of prompts together….to create a
homage to another deck...to make a complementary deck for another one in progress.
ASCEND is a wonderful visual for the peak of the deck creation phase. I would say that
this was one of the most difficult decks I’ve created artistically based on my limited
digital collage skills so it was a difficult climb at times. But I feel like towards the middle
of creating it I was able to transcend my challenges.
What a fabulous destruction card -- GROWTH! As I complete the last aspects of the
creation of the deck -- this brief guide -- it’s now time for the oracle to shine and grow in
someone else’s hands as a personal development tool.

Path of the Dreamer Spread
The seeker has been running her business for 2 years and wonders about the future of it.
The reading shows that her business was destined to be (PROPHECY) and she was given
a nudge from the Universe (NUDGE) to get things in motion. Her main challenge is

staying on top of her finances and maintaining her profits or financial gains (GAIN).
What’s loosening its grip are obstacles (OBSTACLE) that appeared to be in the way.
There’s a powerful or important man (KING) in the place of potential or possibilities.
This might show the influence of her landlord. TIME represents the way forward and
says there’s something that she’s waited for that’s about to happen and now is the time
to act on it.
