“These images would make an amazing oracle deck.”
We heard this phrase over and over after our presentations on the Goddesses from pre-Hispanic Mexico. But moments after the first time it was uttered, we knew that this would be a beautiful way to connect people to the deities and customs of a culture that we have given our lives to studying and practicing, a culture that is often misunderstood and little known outside of academic circles and initiates. A culture that is the heritage for many of us that live on the land and carry the ancestral DNA of ancient Mexico.
The sacred images of pre-Hispanic deities are very different than the sacred images of European culture, which we in America – and even Mexico – are far more accustomed to seeing. These images have unfamiliar symbols – green feathers, skulls, snakes, nose ornaments – and unfamiliar names: Xochiquetzal, Huitzilopochtli, Tecuciztecatl for example.
These sacred images and names open the door to a profoundly magnificent culture that reveres the connection of the earth and Her inhabitants, that celebrates the small and grand cycles – that infuses ritual and attention to the sacred in daily life.

Both holding advanced degrees in Mesoamerican studies and practicing priestesses, Veronica Iglesias and Anne Key could translate the beliefs and culture to a new audience, writing a divinatory meaning for each card. But to create an oracle deck, this project needed a visionary artist to design images that were true to their heritage yet inviting to the modern eye, and at some moment we both realized the one artist that we wanted to work with: Ramona Teo. Renowned for her graphic design, murals, and fine art, she was a perfect match for this ambitious project. Coincidentally, Ramona has a BA in Fine Arts with a focus in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican Art & Art History.
Then the two became three, and the Jade Oracle birthed from an idea to reality. This is truly a story about the interwoven paths from Oregon and Mexico City that converged in Albuquerque, New Mexico, bringing us together to make magic.
This project was successfully crowdfunded through Kickstarter and we are truly grateful for our supporters who helped make it happen.

Like tarot cards, the Jade Oracle is a spiritual tool used for divination and introspection. The difference is they are not structured by traditional tarot suits. Each card brings a new form to a universal archetype, giving us a window to our soul, a new lens in which to see ourselves. We named this deck The Jade Oracle because exquisite green jade was one of the most sacred stones in ancient Mexico, as the color represented the teeming bounty of life. The set includes 52 beautifully illustrated cards accompanied by a booklet that guides you through understanding the mythology and interpretations of the cards.
We feel that when we understand another culture, we understand ourselves in a deeper way and are one step closer to connecting with our global family and celebrating this magical land that we share. And for those of us with Mexican heritage, this is a path to understanding, and living, our lineage.

Ometeotl | Selenite Crystal Charging Plate
LASER-ETCHED SELENITE CRYSTAL CHARGING PLATE
With Ometeotl (Hunab Ku) Design
Approximate Size: 5.5" (diameter) x .75" (thick)
(Size and shape differs slightly with each piece)
This beautiful selenite charging plate is accented with original artwork by Ramona Snow Teo.
The design is laser-etched onto the surface of the crystal, adding a unique work of art to nature's creation. These round discs are perfect to use as an energetic cleansing and charging device. Simply arrange your favorite small crystals or jewelry on the plate and leave overnight. Previous static and negative energies will be released from the objects and they will emit a clear and positive spiritual energy after resting on the selenite.
Laser-etched selenite crystals make an excellent unique gift for gem & mineral collectors, spiritual seekers, healers and loved ones.
Natural & Healing Properties of Selenite: A form of gypsum crystal, selenite is naturally formed on every continent in the world. It is a soft & easy to carve stone, partially translucent & white in color, with long striations running the length of its form. Selenite is named after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene. It has a stabilizing, balancing and cleansing energy, and is a useful aid in accelerating the process of manifestation. A selenite crystal can be used to comb the energy field of a person, place or object to remove lingering negativity, anxiety or trauma and restore clarity and tranquility. This powerful stone brings clarity of mind and activates the seventh chakra, Sahasrara, which is our direct link to the Spirit. Meditating with selenite can assist in connecting with your higher-self, spirit guides, angels, spirit animals, etc.
About the Artwork: Created by New Mexican visionary artist, Ramona Snow Teo, this mandala is a representation of an an ancient Aztec symbol known as Ometeotl. Later the symbol was revived by author Jose Arguelles under the name Hunab Ku. Like the oriental Yin Yang, Ometeotl is a symbol of the balance and union of light and dark forces.
(Excerpt from The Jade Oracle Deck)
The primal deity of the ancient Mexican cultureis Ometeotl, whose name means “deity of duality.”
Represented singularly as Ometeotl—or in a female aspect as Omecihuatl and in male aspect as Ometecuhtli— this deity is the grand creator and creatrix residing in Omeyocan, the place of duality. Because Ometeotl was not represented in physical form, the deity did not have a specific
temple or dedicated festival. However, a multitude of prayers were addressed to Ometeotl.
When Ometeotl appears, you are reminded to connect with the divine force that permeates the entire world as well as with the same divine spark within you. This is an invitation to bring your entire being—your male and female sides—into balance. Ask yourself if you need more feminine or more masculine in your life to bring you into harmony.
