Some things arrive, and some things are delivered to you like an offering.

Today I unwrapped my dear friend Edda Moerling’s first deck, A Field Guide to Matriarchal Remembering, and I’m still catching my breath. Founding edition no. 11/20. Made entirely by her hands.

The unwrapping was its own ceremony. Brown kraft paper sealed with wax. Twine wound around the cards like a promise. And beneath it all, a hand-sewn cover of chartreuse silk tied with a dusty pink ribbon, the kind of detail that tells you someone slowed all the way down to make this for you.

But the real gift is inside. These cards were created to guide us back into relationship with the women who walked and worked before us. To reconnect with the land, with the old ways, with the mother line that runs through each of us whether we remember it or not. Every card is full to the brim, a true field guide for the lo ng work of remembering. There’s even a little gold stand for pulling a card to sit with through the day.

Edda, you birthed something real into the world. Thank you for trusting your knowing and sharing it with the rest of us. I cannot wait to walk this path with these cards in hand. 👑
