In our latest issue of ELEVATE by KBAA, Spellbound Spaces, we featured select artworks from Zoë Pawlak’s Oracle Deck. The complete deck pairs 40 of her artworks with a companion booklet that delves into the meaning of each card, along with thoughtful journal prompts to inspire daily reflection and writing. We’ve chosen a few of our favorites to help guide your New Year’s predictions. Scroll through, and whichever image speaks to you most is your message for the year ahead!
01 Turn Challenges Into Gold
It’s time to step into the fire of transformation. What once felt heavy will alchemize into clarity and strength, leaving only what is essential for your next chapter.
02 Wake Up To Possibility
The veil is lifting, and you are being summoned to rise. Next year calls for presence, awareness, and the courage to follow the signs that are already before you.
03 The Power Of Release
Old worries are ready to dissolve. As you exhale, control loosens its grip and space opens for calm, renewal, and the freedom to move forward unburdened.
04 Move With Quiet Grace
A gentle current surrounds you. The year ahead brings healing, compassion, and the chance to walk with softness, knowing unseen forces are carrying you onward.
05 Brighten With Delight
Time to seek laughter and find joy. Moments of levity will be your compass this year, guiding you toward connection, lightheartedness, and the simple magic of play.
06 Shine Brighter Than Before
A radiant spirit stirs within. You are being called to glow, to cast off heaviness, and to let your light illuminate the road that lies ahead.
07 Step Into Strength
A fire awakens inside you. The year ahead is one of courage, power, and unapologetic presence. It’s an invitation to take up space and embody your fullest self.
08 Stir Your Surroundings
Energy longs to move. By shifting your rhythm, you invite possibility, expansion, and the unlocking of doors that once felt closed.
