Meet the Life without a Tail Oracle Deck

We wanted to start the introductions by explaining the idea behind the deck. There are 44 cards, each featuring the main message at the top. Some of these words are balance related, some are cat themed, delightfully combining the spiritual guidance of oracle cards with our brand and the cats you love.

Each card then holds two voices. Bob is the upright representation - the calm, grounded and wise guidance. Moira is the reversed representation - the chaotic, slightly confrontational truth. We wanted to let their true personalities shine. We included these meanings directly on the card face, as I personally struggle to remember every definition and meaning, and struggle to maintain connection if I have to flip through a Guidebook to know what the cards are saying.

Each deck will come in a velvet bag for ease of transport for messages from your Guides on the go. The drawstring top provides handles to hold, and keeps the cards secure. No card box will be dinged up or knocked open in your bag.

I designed the pawprint border on the cards myself, edited all the words, and added the images that were generated with prompts and pictures of Bob and Moira. I made sure Bob didn't have a tail and made sure Moira's facial markings were right, and painstakingly spent days on each image, deciding how, and who, I wanted represented on each card. We would love to some day upgrade the deck with artist designed images, if someday the Universe connects us to the right person, but we put so much love into this already, we really wanted to share it.

The cards we will share pictures of are from a sample deck from a more expensive company, and though they came out beautifully, it was not affordable for me, or for you! We are waiting on the arrival of a sample deck from a more affordable company to offer you the best price possible, but we want to ensure the quality is up to our standards first! We want you love it as much as we do.

We will be introducing one card at a time, on Wednesdays, and Sundays, to keep us all waiting at the edge of our seats during the production and arrival wait times.

While we wait for the release of the Life without a Tail Oracle Deck (date still TBD!), would you like to meet the deck?

I'd love to take you along on the creation journey and share the stories behind each card, why I chose the imagery and meanings, and how Bob and Moira's unique personalities helped shape the deck.

Each card was created with intention, inspired by the cats you know and love. As we explore the cards together, you'll get to know Bob and Moira even better and discover why each of them was chosen to represent different energies throughout the deck.

Would you like to learn more about the cards, the meanings behind them, and the stories that inspired their creation?

We're always happy to hear your suggestions, whether it's new products, scents, or ways we can improve!
One thing we hear often at Our Mother's Keepers is, "Are your candles made locally?" Based on that feedback, we've started adding "Made in Nova Scotia" to our candle labels.

The change will happen gradually as we use up our current labels—we don't want to create unnecessary waste. Our body oil and clearing spray labels are a little too small for the addition, but we think it looks just right on the candles!

Thanks for helping us grow and improve, one suggestion at a time.

The lovely and talented Iza took a photo of us at the Pride Market.

CEO Bob and Manager Moira get a lot of credit but Scotty, my helper husband, doesn't get mentioned nearly enough. He's only missed one Market due to jet lag from a very long work trip, but he still helped me load and unload the car before going home to sleep. He covers the Life without a Tail table with no complaints when I want to go support other vendors, and always talks me up when my anxiety gets the best of me. I always tip him well with baked goods when I get the chance.

Today's the day!! We're all set up at the Annapolis Valley Pet Expo. Come see us, and check out all the amazing vendors from 10am-4pm

Pumpkin treats are going into the oven now!

In a past life, I made homemade treats for local pups, and this recipe was created to be allergy-friendly by avoiding some of the most common allergens. These treats are made with just three simple ingredients: rice flour, pumpkin purée, and aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas).

With such a simple recipe, more dogs—and even cats—can enjoy them!

We'll have treats on hand at the Annapolis Valley Pet Expo on Sunday. Stop by with your pet and grab a little something for both of you—a treat for your furry friend and a browse through our products for yourself!

Tiger Tail is a special one for me. It was inspired by Parker, an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly with an injured wing that I cared for. He reminded us to appreciate the little things, and accept care when we are not quite able to take care of ourselves. I chose lilac both for its aromatherapy properties, as well as it being a host plant for our local pollinators. Parker is why this jar features a butterfly and not our usual tailless cat.
