ESPÍRITUS MINI ORACLE DECK
Signed Artist Edition… One of Only 500 in the World
Fewer than 150 remain
Some messengers don’t announce themselves… they arrive quietly, in the in-between spaces, at the edge of a dream or in the stillness of a candlelit room. And when you draw one, you feel it right away.
The Espíritus are spirit beings… faeries, angels, ancestors, spirit guides, and sacred ones from the liminal realms. Each one began as a small, intimate oil painting on canvas, only 5×7 inches, painted by hand and channeled over more than 20 years (several originals are still available). They are presences… companions who came through the brush one by one, asking to be seen.
In the spring of 2025, our community brought the Espíritus into the world through Kickstarter and funded them at 238% of the goal. Only 500 decks were printed, each one individually numbered… and this edition will never be printed again.
A TRUE COLLECTOR’S EDITION
When you hold this deck, you hold something that exists in very few hands. Every deck is:
- One of only 500 ever made, and individually numbered
- Personally signed by me, Claudia Olivos
- Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity
- 50 cards made from original oil paintings, numbered 0 to 49
- Finished with silver gilded edges
- Kept safe in a hard magnetic box
- Pocket size no. small enough to carry everywhere, and strong enough to hold everything you bring to it
YOUR GUIDEBOOK ARRIVES BEFORE YOUR DECK
The moment you order, I send you the Espíritus Edited & Expanded Guidebook as a PDF, so your relationship with the spirits can begin while your deck is still traveling to you. This is not a thin little booklet… it is a complete companion. For every card you’ll find:
- Its Tarot Energy… each Espíritu carries the vibration of a Major or Minor Arcana card, so the deck speaks the language of tarot
- Its Oracle Energy… the spirit’s own medicine and meaning
- Its Message… what this being wants you to hear right now
- Its Affirmation… words to carry with you through the day
You’ll also find the symbols hidden in the paintings, color meanings, numerology for every number from 0 to 49, the Major and Minor Arcana, spreads for different questions, how to read reversals, how to care for and cleanse your deck, and journal prompts. And in the back… images of all 50 Espíritus that you can print as stickers for your journal, altar, or planner.
HOW TO WORK WITH THE ESPÍRITUS
Morning pull… Before you check your phone, shuffle and draw one card. Read its message and affirmation, and let that spirit walk beside you through the day. In the evening, notice where it showed up.
Tarot clarifier… Lay an Espíritu beside a tarot card that feels confusing. Because each Espíritu carries a tarot energy, it often opens the door the tarot card left half-closed.
Altar ally… Choose an Espíritu to stand on your altar for a week or a moon cycle. Light a candle beside it, speak your intention, and ask for its protection or guidance.
Ancestor work… On a quiet night, or during Día de los Muertos, draw a card and ask, “Who is with me?” Write down what comes. Many people find this is where the deck speaks most clearly.
Carry one with you… Slip a card into your wallet or journal on the days you need courage, softness, or protection.
THE THIRD SISTER
The Espíritus complete the family of my oracle decks, alongside the Sacred Mothers & Goddesses Oracle and the Sacred Powers & Goddesses Oracle. The goddesses bring the great archetypal powers… the Espíritus bring the close, personal guides who walk with you every day. Together they form a complete three-deck system.
