Mother Mary Oracle: Protection Miracles & Grace of the Holy Mother (Mother Mary Oracle, 1)

I am not Catholic but at least six years ago, way before Doreen Virtue renounced her work as a metaphysical teacher, I was watching her YouTube channel where she did a guided prayer with Mother Mary. It may have been a New Year's prayer if I am not mistaken but Doreen felt inspired to speak about Mother Mary being a wonderful guide, healer, and teacher for those in need of nurturing and who maybe hadn't received as much as they needed in childhood and perhaps still had wounds in adulthood related to that. I knew that I had a lot of wounds and fears so I closed my eyes and said the prayer with her not really expecting a thing. All of a sudden, a feeling of being very loved came over me and I started to cry. I never forgot that but didn't commit to or investigate working with her. I had hangups about organized religion and even though I love Jesus and had used Doreen's Jesus deck (along with many Angel decks) for my personal spiritual growth and development, I didn't really know much about Mother Mary being an all powerful aspect of the Divine Feminine. I just thought of her as the mother of Jesus and a beautiful symbol of trust and faith. I didn't start to learn so much about the Divine Feminine until I started working with Alana's decks. Once I started working with Alana's decks (Rumi, Isis, Earth Warriors, and Kuan Yin), I found myself even more spiritually enriched but nonetheless still struggling to find my place in the world and filled with paralyzing pain from the past. I am a light worker but one who had started to feel unable to cope with the darkness and suffering in my life. I had been on the receiving end of many attacks but didn't want to acknowledge it because we're conditioned to believe that we experience what we are/what we feel through the law of attraction. It's not that simple. The law of attraction is real but so is spiritual warfare. So many times, when my heart was so innocent and loving, long before I became older and jaded, I got attacked, betrayed, humiliated, abused, abandoned, hated for no apparent reason. Alana is really good at channeling spiritual teachers who know the difference between when a spiritual warfare attack is being directed at you versus when you really are just momentarily stuck in some negativity that you created - which does happen to all of us from time to time. There are dark energies who wish to continue to benefit from fear based domination and disrespect of the Divine Feminine. Who would they hate more than people with coding in their very DNA and a compulsion beyond this world to awaken and to offer assistance to others who also want to awaken? If you never recognize spiritual warfare, those attacks will leave you dis-eased, decimated, and ready to give up. I suspect this is what also happened to our sister Doreen.I was becoming so dark and depressed and jaded that I wanted to not be here in this life. I felt like a failure and ashamed that I couldn't apply my learning to live a more "enlightened" life. Right after my birthday this year, I got this deck. Didn't believe a word it said. I wanted to but I was so afraid to trust. If this is you, get this deck. What I can best say to describe Mother Mary is she offers loving, firm holding. She is loving, compassionate and yet firm. You may not get a free pass out of what you may view as loss or suffering if that is what it takes for you to let go of what is holding you back so you can serve in the way you were born to. She will speak to your heart over and over asking you to trust. She reminds us that anything we experience as loss today is really only fuel for new life emerging. For a light bearer, what would be worse? To go through sometimes painful growth with her assistance or miss out on doing the work you were called to do? She says that any sacrifice or loss is offered on the alter of new life. But she will also remove obstacles that she deems to be unnecessary suffering that will only drain you and keep you from the life of service and joy you were bound to lead (and that includes spiritual warfare attacks). She promises joy and happiness but makes you firmly aware that your life will still have some challenges but that she will be there to guide you through them to something that reflects God's love. You will no longer be picking up damage/baggage and becoming more and more diminished by each challenge. That feeling of diminishment without ever having healed from prior attacks leads to giving up/depression, physical illness, even a death wish if you come to believe that the repeated attacks are too much to cope with anymore. Many of us light workers are a beautiful blend of strength, intelligence and extreme sensitivity. When constant attacks cause you to lose sight of your strength and faith, all you have is your sensitive, broken heart and an overworked mind that won't shut off.I am not by any means somebody who feels they are on solidly on their path after only three months of working with the Holy Mother but only 3 months ago sadness and darkness and anxiety had consumed me. I barely had the will left to make it through the most basic, rudimentary life tasks. I couldn't get past core wounding and I was trying to hide the hopelessness and futility I felt out of shame and fear of disappointing God. I was also disappointed in myself and wondered if I was mistaken in some of the choices I made in choosing a different spiritual path over organized religion. But now, so many subtle things have occurred that are helping me to grow and change and let go of fear. I still have moments of terror, but fewer now.Mother Mary spoke to my heart one day recently and told me that I was always supposed to work with her, that she had never left me and I had never left her. She asked me if I remembered the dream and brought to my recollection a dream I had 25 years ago. I was just out of college and I was penniless with no job. I had never picked up an oracle deck at that point. I had to move home where a family member mentally abused and sexually harassed me. I had no where to go at first. I found a job working at an old factory that was filled with a lot of good "salt of the earth" people but was being run by abusive "old boys" who would die before they let any union or rights advocates come in. It was the kind of place where they would deny that an on the job accident actually occurred at work so that they could maintain their "no lost time in accidents " status. As soon as I got enough money, I moved to an apartment on my own but wasn't making enough to have the heat on in the winter, have much food, or pay all of my bills. I had also given a spare emergency key to who I thought was a trusted family member who in turn gave it to my abuser who then entered my apartment without authorization. It sounds like a soap opera now but I had lived through one form of abuse or another from the time I was 7 or 8 years old. Abuse by family. Bullying in school. Back then, I had just started to learn about the law of attraction but was not able to come to terms with it as it was being taught. Was I to believe that the law of attraction brought a life of hell to me even when I was a tiny, innocent little girl picking flowers for people, dreaming of dolls and loving everything and everyone I saw? I went to sleep one night after another long day of struggle, aloneness and poverty and dreamed I entered into a banquet, a long table where there was so much food but the people seated already at the table cruelly derided me, told me I could sit but that I couldn't partake. I took a seat and I put my head down to cry and I heard more cruel laughter and hateful words. Suddenly a woman leaned over me and put her arms around me. I remained seated but turned my head to look at her. She was a different race than I (and I now know that was on purpose because Our Mother has many faces) but I felt that she was my mother. I knew nothing of Mother Mary at this point so I had no idea what her name was but strangely, my heart felt her to be my mother. I felt her astounding love for me and mine for her. Her soul radiated her beauty and love but her face was worn and somewhat haggard, as if she had seen and borne the suffering of the world. But to me, she was the most beautiful mother in all the world. My mother. She was the only thing in this senselessly cruel and unloving environment that made sense. She told me without speaking that she was here now and I would not be hurt and I was ok. She didn't make the challenge go away but held me through it. Also, as mean spirited as the other beings were in that room, she radiated love to them too without indulging their cruel nonsense. Not one would dare rise to challenge her or utter one word to her. I sensed her power. But it was quiet, loving power. When I woke up, I remember wishing I could have that dream again and feel that loved again. I was 21 then. I am in my forties now and I never forgot that dream. Mother Mary revealed to me 25 years later that it was she who came to me in that dream. Today, I find myself thanking her although there was a time when out of fear of what she asked of me, I directed anger toward her once. I came to my senses and asked forgiveness but she treated meas if there was nothing to forgive. She never left me. Lately, as our connection grows, I find myself saying or thinking silently many times throughout the day, "I love you mama! Thank you Holy Mother!"

I just started working with Mary, this was a great amazing purchase. There is a rose hidden on every card, which I appreciate. I have them posted around my apartment. Miracles are so inspiring

Recommended by someone very knowledgeable about and adept with oracle cards. They are spot on! Recommend.

Gave to my sister as a gift. Will be purchasing a set for myself

I own many decks by Alana Fairchild. I love her work. It’s not like other decks that focus on divination. These decks focus on healing. I have had my eye on this deck for over a year but finally gave in. I was worried i would expend money on it and then not use it since i have too many decks already.I am glad i gave in. The second I opened i could feel the loving presence they help me channel.The art is bright and gorgeous charged with energy. They shuffled so easily. Not too soft nor hard.I never post reviews for decks out of privacy but this one, I just HAD to.When I looked at each card, I noticed one card came out of numerical order. I decided to look deeply into it and the message was mind blowing. In short it said something like you have been looking for me and I have come to you.Please get this deck!!

Different faces of mother Mary, in this oracle really make you think, and have given me breakthroughs in my spiritual pursuit.

Alana makes some of the best oracle cards known to man in my opinion. You will not be let down here. The depth of the guidebook and the beautiful imagery take you on an adventure every time you revisit the deck. HIGHLY recommend deck here!

I purchased this oracle deck three years ago to participate in a 13 Holy Nights practice. I'd never worked with oracle cards before, but the artwork is breathtaking and the inspiration, and guidance this deck has provided me are immeasurable. I've since bought this Mother Mary Oracle as a gift for others. This particular deck was purchased for a dear friend. Whether you are new to working with Oracle cards; a season spiritualist with many decks; or somewhere in between this beautiful Mother Mary Oracle will not disappoint.
