The Spirit Child Collection

The Spirit Child is the avatar of new beginnings. They represent the inner child that roams freely between the physical and spiritual realm. They freely jump from the precipice to start new journeys, knowing they are protected by the embrace of Spirit and the guidance of their astral companions.  Whether that means falling into physical embodiment, or floating upwards into the collective cosmos, The Spirit Child is relentless in their need to explore, imagine, and play.

Hi everyone! This is Odera and I am excited to share the first of many new paintings that are the foundation for my upcoming hybrid Oracle-Tarot deck. This deck is inspired by intersectional magic from the African diaspora, personal embodied mythologies, and metaphors from the collective conscious . Instead of the journey of the Fool, this is the journey of the Spirit Child who goes on a voyage to create healing and access points to those affected by the rifts caused by diaspora and colonization. I am in the early stages of creating artwork, and I am so incredibly excited to share the work that is being made one collection at a time.

This is not the journey of the fool.
This is the journey of spirit children.
Not an abiku. Not an ogbanje.
For all us are predetermined to die to live to die to live.
To return. A deck to break cycles.
A deck to mend wounds.
A deck to unite, weave, and close rifts.
A deck dedicated to cosmologies and spiritwork across the diaspora.
