I’m excited to share that my new, limited-edition oracle deck is now available in person at two beloved Santa Barbara spots: Chaucer’s Books and Yoga Soup. Each physical card is part of a hand-numbered art series of just 50 prints, making every piece a small, collectible window into this project.

I’ve included a few of the cards here so you can get a feel for the textures, colors, and characters that came through in this series. Each one is designed to invite reflection, play, and a sense of new beginnings—whether you use them for daily pulls, journaling, or simply as art for your space.

You can also explore the deck digitally in two ways:

• A free, browser-based version on my website: https://mitracline.com/santa-barbara-character-an-oracle-deck-for-new-beginnings/
• A fully interactive, paid app version on Deckible: https://www.deckible.com/card-decks/30E-mystical-mermaid-letters-igniting-inspiration-making-reading-a-delight-for-all-m-cline

This deck has grown out of many conversations and questions about art, technology, and AI—about what makes something “handmade,” how tools shape our imagination, and how we stay honest and curious in the process. I don’t have all the answers, but this project has been an inspiring way to keep exploring those questions and to translate them into images and words you can hold in your hands.

If you’re local, I’d love for you to visit Chaucer’s Books or Yoga Soup and see the cards in person. And if you’re online, feel free to try the browser deck, download the app, and let me know what the cards spark for you.
