This miniature jewel-like deck is a uniquely special oracle. Because it is born out of generosity, it feels both very open and inviting in terms of feeling out our own messages; but also, it  feels entwined to the specific person who's soul inquiry generated a call and response drawing. By using the cards and interpreting meaning, we become participants in the endless call- and response prayer of the world. The images in this deck remind me of the colorful visions that happen in pitch dark space. The back of the cards are black, and the full color spectrum in the images reminds me of the rainbow gardens and grandfather mountains  from which they were born. They are smaller than the cards in the Ombligo Ubicuo deck, and in this way it's like they contain a deeper seed message from within the same dreaming world. Each deck comes wrapped in a beautiful risograph print which is in and of itself a special piece of art. A gift within a gift, within a gift. 

A note*

This deck is intuitive and special. The key is only printed in Spanish but we are working on uploading a downloadable English translation for you to print and use.

Haz de tu brújula una flor con tu corazón al centro de su florecer (Make your compass a flower with your heart at the center of its bloom) is an oracular map that can be used to navigate through any place at any time, and which serves as much to orient oneself as to get lost adventurously.

It includes 21 dibrújulas (drawing-compasses), a small booklet of questions and answers, and steps to dibrujular (create your own drawing-compasses).

This deck is an experiment that was born out of a game I played while I was traveling through the Sacred Valley in Peru in 2021: "Ask me a question, and I'll draw you an answer". I received many questions along my way, and for a month of my journey, every morning when I woke up, taking advantage of the dream-like dawn hours and the special fatigue of a traveler, I chose a question, and I answered it drawing and writing as if I were doing so directly from a dream. This series of dibrújulas is the fruit of that month. 

The Boxes

The boxes were made by hand and printed with letterpress in the small studio of LaPress in Pachuca, Hidalgo.The studio focuses on special artisanal projects and experimentation with graphic techniques that are at risk of becoming obsolete.

LaPress's letterpress machine is an "old press" made by Chandler and Price & Co. made in Cleveland Ohio in 1885, which arrived to Mexico in the early 1900's. It has its own typographic archive that has grown over the years.

The box was designed and made manually, using a special "suaje", or metal template, to cut the paper with the exact measurements to hold the oracle and its booklet. The printing in two inks (bordeaux and blue) on cream colored opalina paper was done in three separate steps. Everything was folded and glued by hand.

Printing

The wrapping and book were printed in risograph by Impresos México, a women-run publishing house and risograph printer based in Mexico City, formed by Andrea García, MJ Balvanera, and Valentina Velázquez de León.

The cards were digitally printed at Agave Digital, a small printer located in Atlampa, Mexico City.
