Before our imaginations were scrubbed clean, we spent time with invisible friends, many of them in the animal kingdom. We encountered the creatures of the earth for what they truly are: Emissaries of the Marvelous. Those characters who jumped out of our storybooks, ignited our imaginations and inhabited our blanket forts were essential to our growth. They lent us strength, character, wonder and companionship. They still can.

The creatures in this deck speak to your inner child and encourage your soul on its journey to a thriving, magical and empowered life. Embrace them to renew your magic. Heart to heart. Soul to soul. Hand to wing, hoof and paw.

Set includes 44 purple gilt-edged oracle cards, an organza drawstring pouch, and a lushly illustrated 108-page guidebook to help you connect with the adorable animal companions.

This is what comes of taking dreams / off the horizon. It is the sun / or nothing else, you would scream / if you weren''t caught up in the chorus.

Leaning deliberately on the imagined while scrutinizing reality and hoping for the as-yet-unseen, UNMET is a poetry collection that explores themes of frustration, justice, and thwarted rescue from a perspective that is Black-Latinx, Canadian, immigrant, and female. Drawing on a wide range of poetics, from Wallace Stevens to Tony Hoagland and Diane Seuss, roberts''s musically-driven narrative surrealism confronts such timely issues as police brutality, respectability politics, intimate partner violence, and ecological crisis, and considers the might-have-been alongside the what could be, negotiating the past without losing hope for the future.
