Weaving the Cycles
Earth Medicine Cards
Southern Hemisphere
The Deck
These Earth Medicine Cards are intended as a tool for understanding the threads in our web of life, to guide our flow, to help us weave, remembering our entanglement with the old wild ways of Mother Earth and the Universe.
The deck consists of a guidebook and 48 cards. Each representing different phases in the cycles of life. The Day Cycle, the Moon Cycle, the Seasons, the Menstrual Cycle, the Feminine Life Cycle, the Masculine Life Cycle, the Sun Cycle, a Flowers Life Cycle, the Four Elementals and the Spiral of Life.
We are deeply affected by the cycles. They weave in, around and through us. This weaving will give you the gift of insight into the way all life is woven together, remembering your own entwinement within and without.
Each card has been lovingly hand painted in watercolour and detailed with a feather quill and ink.
Printed in Australia on sustainably sourced paper using solar power by Taylor Print.

The cards are round at 130mm diameter. They come in an organic cotton drawstring bag, each individually hand-painted with ochre by the artist imbuing beautiful earth magic into each set.
This deck is for the Southern Hemisphere, if you're interested in a deck for the Northern Hemisphere please contact me.

Testimonials
Dear Michelle, I wanted to send you a note of heartfelt gratitude in appreciation of your medicine cards. They arrived today and I thought the coincidental arrival of the 'official' first day of spring was particularly fitting!
I can see how much worker bee effort has gone into this project, and I hope you feel proud and a sense of accomplishment now they are out in the world.
I look forward to working with them through my own Four Seasons Journey and beyond.
With love and appreciation

Dear Michelle, Just a little note to send you my enormous thanks to your beautiful creation Earth Medicine Cards.
I gifted a set to my mother in law who adores them and I kept a set for myself.
They are just beautiful, and I'm sure a stunning reflection of who you are.
We look forward to many years of picking them up for that extra bit if love and wisdom.
Thanks again and congratulations on such a creation.
Love and light,
Jo, QLD, Australia

Blessings and warmest wishes to you and yours,
