A long-time Psychic Sister favorite, POESIS is a collection of 77 oracle cards designed to guide you inward when seeking answers, reminding us that the wisdom we need already exists at the centre of our being. Blending art and poetry, the deck nurtures intuition, self-reflection, and a deeper connection to your inner guidance.
HOW TO USE POESIS
It’s important to understand the ancient wisdom “As above, so below; as within so without” - what we experience in the external world is a mirror of what is in the internal. In the same way, the words and images on the cards reflect our current energetic state. When we ask the cards for insights, we are really strengthening and working with our own inner guidance. The cards will highlight themes we should pay attention to regarding our questions, and when combined, they form a kind of poetry that resonates at the centre of our being.
There are 77 cards in the deck, each representing a different stage or experience, and altogether they make up a life’s journey. While each card carries its own significant energy, there’s no one definite way to look at it. How you interpret the words and images is more important than its universal, societal signification. Some words and images might bring back a past memory, remind of a specific person, or reflect our hopes and fears. Notice the first insights that came to mind, feel how they are trying to speak to you and consider how that ties into your personal experience. To begin, we invite you to pull a few cards and start forming a narrative with the words.
POESIS was created with the divine feminine journey in mind, which offers a nurturing energy to work with. As our society has been so goal driven and focused on action, there is a need for tenderness and emotional connection to come through for balance and support, especially in these unprecedented times.
Poesis Oracle Guidebook
Visions in Verse Guidebook
A 215-page companion featuring all 77 artworks and poems from the Poesis Oracle. This book is for readers drawn to the potency of language and the depth words can unlock. Use it alongside the Poesis Oracle deck to deepen your readings, or enjoy it as a standalone poetry collection. Each pairing of image and verse invites contemplation on a deeply personal level, the very essence of developing and strengthening intuition.
What's Inside
The book opens with an introduction by Andrea Wan and Megan King, setting the tone for the journey ahead. You'll find all 77 artworks paired with their poems, plus an intuition guide to help you trust your inner voice, sample spreads for both beginners and experienced readers, keywords for each card when you need a quick reference point, and a cross-interview exploring the creative process behind the deck.
Why Words Matter
For those who process through language, reading, and reflection, this guidebook offers another dimension to your practice. The poems aren't instructions. They're invitations that give you permission to sit with a card longer, to notice what rises up when you pair image with verse, and to discover meanings that are entirely your own.

THE CREATORS
Andrea Wan
(Creator of POESIS, Concept + Artwork)
Andrea is a Chinese Canadian Visual Artist currently based in Vancouver BC. She sees her creative practice as a container in which she can allow whatever to come through in her stream of consciousness. Her body of work includes, but not limited to ink on paper, murals, and sculptures. Themes such as femininity, nature, and self-enquiry have continued to propel her creative exploration over the the last years. Andrea spent the last 7 years living in Berlin, while travelling around a lot for various exhibitions and mural projects.
Megan King is a South African born musician and poet under the monkier Lemonella. Her compositions blend sound, poetry, video and collage into charming and transportive experiences. Her voice speaks with love and deep honesty about the world around her, and rooted in the intimate observation of the truth of her own inner journey. She is inspired by themes of sensuality, playfulness, and a return to earth reverence where these qualities are inherent. On Soundcloud, she creates mixtapes of carefully selected musical storytelling and an archive of sonic moods. She is currently based in Berlin.
AARISE is a Berlin-based creative agency for design and art direction founded by Aaron Dawkins and Louise Matell. Their minimal, yet expressive and colourful designs can be found within the culture as well as the lifestyle industry. Through constant exploration and with an eye for detail they create distinctive work that leaves a standing impression. Working closely with clients of various scale, their focus lies in the fields of branding, packaging, publishing and digital.
"As an attempt to break preconceived notions about divination tools belonging only to esoteric or supernatural spheres, we wanted to create a tool that is accessible to people in all age groups and from all beliefs systems and walks of lives; this is visually stimulating, and with self empowerment as the focus. POESIS can be used for intuition, inspiration, divination, self reflection, or even a way to to connect with others and share our stories. The cards are versatile and can be used in any free-form intuitive readings or spreads."
