Exploring the Wisdom of Spirit: The card packs we use on the healing journey.
In a world that often feels loud, busy and energetically overwhelming, many people are longing for a deeper connection – to themselves, to the natural world, and to the unseen realms of guidance that hold ancient wisdom. At Twin Streams Healing, oracle and guidance cards are one of the sacred tools we use to support emotional balance, soul healing and intuitive insight. Each deck brings its own unique vibration, story and purpose, allowing us to tune into different layers of your energy field, subconscious and spiritual landscape.
Below is an introduction to the card packs we may use during consultations and healing sessions. Each one supports a different aspect of emotional, metaphysical, or spiritual wellbeing, weaving together the worlds of plant consciousness, celestial archetypes, elemental guardians, earth energies, intuitive empowerment and positive affirmation.
First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® (Numbers 1–120)
By Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber
Vibrational plant medicine & inspiration
At the heart of our healing practice lies the First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® – a complete system of vibrational plant medicine created by Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber. We work with 120 of the essence range, drawing on the unique power of Aotearoa’s ancient flora. These plants carry primordial energies that help restore harmony to the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual layers of the self.
When we work with this deck, we’re opening a gateway to plant consciousness. Each card reflects an essence that corresponds to a particular emotional or energetic state – fear, overwhelm, self-doubt, trauma imprint, karmic patterns, ancestral stories or inner-child wounds. The plants act like energetic companions, providing insight and clarity while gently guiding you back toward balance.
Using the First Light® cards in a session supports you to understand which energies are calling for healing and which plants are ready to help you recalibrate your inner ecosystem. Combined with the essences themselves, this becomes a powerful and deeply personal healing modality.
The Celestial Compendium
By Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber
Featuring the Twelve Poisons of Spirit
Where the First Light® cards speak to the emotional and everyday energetic world, The Celestial Compendium opens a window into the higher realms – your spiritual anatomy, cosmic blueprint and soul purpose. This deck includes teachings on the “twelve poisons of spirit”, ancient patterns that can cloud the soul and keep us looping through self-limiting behaviours, illusions and karmic entanglements.
When these cards are laid out in a reading, they shine light on spiritual challenges that may not yet be visible on the surface. They reveal where your consciousness is evolving, which archetypal forces are influencing your life, and what soul lessons you are currently integrating. This deck is especially valuable for those on a deeper spiritual journey – people seeking clarity around their life purpose, higher calling or multidimensional healing.
Working with The Celestial Compendium helps you understand both the shadow and the light within your soul landscape, allowing you to transform outdated spiritual patterns and step into a more aligned expression of self.
The Ancient Stones Oracle
By Rebecca Campbell
Align with the sacred energies of the Earth
Human beings have always looked to the land for guidance, teachings and grounding. The Ancient Stones Oracle by Rebecca Campbell reconnects us with this timeless relationship. Each card represents a sacred stone, landscape, or earth energy – reminding us that the Earth holds memory, story and wisdom older than any written record.
This deck supports you to tune into earth-based spirituality: grounding, embodiment and connection to the cycles of life. When we use this oracle during a reading, it often highlights where you may need stability, presence or reconnection with your natural environment. It can also reveal ancestral energies or past-life ties to certain lands and landscapes.
For anyone experiencing overwhelm, disconnection, or emotional fatigue, these cards offer a stabilising, deeply soothing presence. They remind us that we are always held by something greater.
The Butterfly Guiding Light Oracle
By Sue Nicholson
Self-discovery and self-empowerment
As the butterfly symbolises transformation, this deck serves as a gentle yet empowering guide through personal change. Sue Nicholson’s Butterfly Guiding Light Oracle encourages self-discovery, self-responsibility and emotional growth. The cards highlight what is shifting in your life, what needs releasing and what is ready to emerge.
These messages often come through with uplifting clarity – perfect for those moments when you need reassurance or encouragement to trust your own inner compass. During healing sessions, this deck helps identify emotional blockages, patterns of self-sabotage, or areas where confidence and courage are ready to flourish.
It is especially supportive for individuals seeking empowerment, direction or renewed belief in their own abilities.
Peace Within – Inspirational Affirmation Cards
By Yoga & Oils
Sometimes the simplest messages carry the deepest truth. The Peace Within affirmation cards offer gentle reminders designed to calm the mind, soothe the heart and nurture inner stillness. They encourage mindful breathing, emotional regulation and positive self-dialogue.
These cards are often used at the beginning or end of a session to anchor your intentions or help integrate the insights you’ve received. An affirmation may come forward that becomes your guiding mantra for the week – something to bring you back into alignment whenever life feels turbulent.
They are powerful in their simplicity and beautiful for cultivating daily peace.
The Fairy Oracle of the Patupaiarehe©
By Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber
The Ancient Oracle of Aotearoa
One of the most mystical and enchanting decks we use is the Patupaiarehe oracle. The Patupaiarehe are the fairy folk of Aotearoa, New Zealand – ethereal, magical beings connected to mist, forest and twilight. Their presence in Maori tradition is ancient and deeply woven into the land.
This deck offers profound yet subtle guidance. The Patupaiarehe energies assist with navigating liminal spaces – the in-between moments of transformation, intuition and spiritual awakening. They help you listen to the whispers of your own inner wisdom, trust the unseen and connect with the mystical dimension of life that often goes unnoticed.
Working with this deck brings a sense of enchantment, reminding us that the world is far more magical and multidimensional than we may realise.
A Collective Symphony of Healing Tools
Each card pack we use carries its own vibration, purpose and origin. When woven together in a healing session, they form a multi-layered tapestry of insight:
- Plant consciousness (First Light Essences)
- Soul evolution (Celestial Compendium)
- Earth wisdom (Ancient Stones)
- Empowered transformation (Butterfly Oracle)
- Mindful presence (Peace Within Affirmations)
- Mystical connection (Patupaiarehe)
Together, they help illuminate your path, unlock emotional clarity, release energetic blockages and reconnect you to your own essence.
The journey of healing is personal – yet supported by countless unseen allies. These cards are simply one of the many bridges that help us access that guidance with clarity, grace and trust.
We post #dailycardpicks on Instagram and Facebook. Cards are picked either intuitively or by a quartz crystal pendulum.
