Daughters in Flower

‘Daughters in Flower’ is an oracle created for women who want to explore their full, mysterious, magical potential. When you choose a card you enter into communication with the Great Mother Creator of the Universe, with your intuition, with the Divine that is within you. ‘Daughters in Flower’ is an indispensable tool for every woman; it serves to awaken the happy child, the warrior who inhabits your feminine will; to awaken the Amazon, the priestess, who shouts for the opportunity to act in the everyday world.


When you buy Daughters in Flower you get a boxed set containing:
  • Manual for Women
  • Manual for Girls
  • Deck of 52 cards
The Manual for Women, written by Itzcoatl Papalotzin and Ivonne Delgado Orea, uses myth and legend to give you the context of the oracle, offering you tips on how to use the cards, together with a full interpretation of each of the 52 cards that make up the deck.The Manual for Girls, written by Itzcoatl Papalotzin and Joanna Crowson gives a separate interpretation of each card, suitable for girls and young women. 

The deck of cards consists of 52 joyful watercolours painted by Merry Crowson. Merry grew up in Spain, in the countryside of Andalusia. She has spent a lot of her life outside, walking, swimming and climbing. She has always enjoyed painting and drawing but has had no formal training: she taught herself with the help of books and lots of practice.Merry started the series of 52 paintings that have become Daughters in Flower before she was 18, finding some time while she was studying for A Levels and finishing in her gap year. The paintings map some of the path she has walked in her transition from girl to woman in flower, developing her own unique humorous style on the way. She enjoys drawing and painting young people enjoying life and nature, and her sense of humour can be seen in her attention to detail.
 
“Daughters in Flower will take you to action and to the power of believing in yourself; it will teach you the game that allows you to choose a personality each day, giving you guidelines that will help you to confront the masculine world we live in… Daughters in Flower doesn’t belong to you, you belong to the Daughters in flower: the female vanguard of the new consciousness.”
Prologue, Manual for Women 

Men stop being macho!
Women stop sustaining the macho world;
because we women sustain in it sick complicity.
Better for us conspire in search of harmony and freedom.
MARIVÍ DE TERESA IN A TALK WITH CARLOS CASTANEDA

The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on the brow
of the flower,
and retell it in words and in touch,
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing.
GALWAY KINNELL, POET
