The Custodian - From the Artifacts & Envoys Oracle

Purging. Purification. Renewal. Over time we amass layers of neglected thoughts and emotions, stresses, and unfinished plans or projects. There comes a time to clean house, pick out what is most important to keep, and scour off the rest. The vulture is nature’s custodian, cleaning up the unwanted leftovers, and is thus an integral source of equilibrium to the ecosystem. Soap restores our body, mind, and spirit through the process of regular maintenance and self-care.

When the Custodian appears for you, ask yourself what needs immediate purging in your life. What form of rejuvenation do you need to embrace? What are the areas of neglect that need a new routine or overhaul to bring a sense of balance?

The Artifacts & Envoys Oracle features iconic tools, artifacts, and objects integral to our development and survival as humans, along with carefully selected animal messengers. Together these images create an illustrated archetype: facets of ourselves and of those around us. The Artifacts & Envoys deck is designed to be a companion to the Forager's Daughter Tarot, mirroring our connection to nature while highlighting the innovation and ingenuity inherent to history.
