Lara’s 13 Sacred Nights Oracle is truly amazing. The artwork is stunning but also the messages that go with each image are deep and meaningful. I’ve been drawing from the deck and always appreciate the wisdom that comes from the cards I’ve drawn. Lara has a wonderful way of writing/weaving in mystery and legend with the wisdom of the ages.

Lara’s 13 Sacred Nights Oracle completely changed my relationship to the holidays and unleashed within me the creative power of the Winter Solstice! The beautiful artwork and deeply inspiring wisdom of the cards shift attention away from the stressful, frenetic consumerism of the season and instead steer the mind and heart toward inner reflection, setting of intentions, and personal connection with the Divine. Drawing the cards over 13 Sacred Nights is something my daughter and I look forward to doing every December and we both love to see the magic reveal itself as the new year unfolds in line with the cards’ wisdom and guidance. What a gift this deck is for those of us wanting to get back into alignment with the rhythm of nature and true spirit of the holidays!

Lara’s 13 Sacred Nights practice really is life changing! Amidst the typical western hustle and bustle during the holiday season, it’s so good to slow down, get quiet, get present. and focus on planting the seeds for a beautiful year to come.

I can’t speak more highly of Lara J. Day’s 13 Holy Nights! It has been a life changing practice my family and I look forward to each holiday season, to go inward and await all the magic that transpires from its guidance. It’s a new, yet old tradition, that is reemerging in a very important time period. I see it catching fire in the years to come; finding its way into more people’s lives, to bring back more meaning, more connection and guidance for the new year, rather than the programming of cyclical consumerism. Lara has such a beautiful way with words that speak directly, yet gracefully to the reader, and the artwork is so whimsical, the images are unforgettable!

Erin Walker

If you want a new approach (to the holiday season), if you want to slip into the cadence of Mother Nature and the womb of winter and embrace it all differently... don’t miss out on this. The 13 Sacred Nights Oracle helps you map out a new way and your new year! It all starts 12/21 on the solstice... Don’t get lost in the shuffle. And God only knows, that if 2020 needs anything it’s a calm, intentional close!
