Welcome to Your Cosmic Oracle Deck! This is the perfect, compact oracle card deck for your travel or everyday divination needs - each card is correlated to an astrological sign and or planet. Perfect for consulting the cosmos!

This little astrological oracle deck began as a personal divination tool a few years ago. I realized I needed to simplify how I was using my intuition in my everyday life. Just by making a list of words on my favorite typewriter, I felt more of a connection to how I was viewing (or choosing to view) the smaller and bigger picture of my life at that time. 

 I see this deck as a personal teaching tool, while also being accessible for divination purposes. You get to learn some astrology along the way! Each word and color has an astrological correlation to "rulership" by planet or sign. Refer to the Glyph Guides to familiarize yourself with the symbols for each sign and planet. There are many ways to use this deck: draw a single card for the day, add a card or two to your tarot spread, or pull multiple cards to create a sentence and tell a story. Some of these words can be taken very literal, others may require a more playful mind to interpret. Use your imagination!

All of HartVariations materials are cruelty-free and ethically sourced with great care. We are dedicated to No-Harm principles in our work. 

A: No creatures are harmed in the process of creating HartVariations jewelry. We have a No-Harm, Cruelty-Free approach in our work. We source all materials with extreme care and ethical considerations. All the butterflies, beetles and moths we use come from sustainable, licensed butterfly conservation farms working to conserve native insect habitats. Snakeskin is shed naturally, feathers are collected after molting, and the skulls and jawbones come from natural deaths or owl pellets collected in the Pacific Northwest. HartVariations jewelry brings a second life to insects and other elements of nature. 

Q: What are butterfly conservation farms?

A: Butterfly conservation farms, also known as sanctuaries, have been set up worldwide to preserve native habits and provide income for local populations. These farms require that forests and plants be protected and maintained instead of destroyed for other purposes. Butterflies and other insects are protected in these habitats. The survival rate of butterflies in the wild is only 2%, while on the farms, that rate increases up to 90%. On average, adult butterflies live 3 to 4 weeks.

Jewelry Care for your Talisman
Not only do we help the creature encased within HartVariations jewelry enter a new life, but your jewelry will last throughout your lifetime if cared for properly.
Please thoroughly read the list of considerations below for proper care.
- your talisman has left the HartVariations Studio tested for strength and durability
- your talisman needs to be stored properly, away from moisture, sunlight, and pressure
- your talisman should not be worn while exercising, swimming, showering, sleeping, etc.
- your talisman needs you to keep an eye out for possibilities of snagging on clothes or hair, and other tension or pressure scenarios. Especially where metal connects to metal and glass.
One of the unique aspects of HartVariations jewelry is that it incorporates a natural element. This precious, often delicate element receives protective layers of glass and metal. Because of this combination of materials two things are of note; 1). the creature now becomes a wearable talisman to escort you on your journey 2). *and if broken* this beloved, delicate creature would not make it through another round of creation and cannot be fixed.
Not being able to “fix” our jewelry is unfortunately part of what makes your talisman so special. We wish it could be different, but we hope you realize the special nature of our jewelry and if cared for properly, it can last a lifetime.

All focal-pieces are constructed with lead-free silver solder and oxidized.

All necklaces are nickel-free, brass core with a gunmetal finish.

All ear hooks, hoops, and ear threads are dark oxidized sterling silver. All posts and ear nut backings are non-oxidized sterling silver.

All ring bands and bracelet metal is oxidized sterling silver.

We use rose gold-fill for earring findings and chain for our copper patina + rose gold styles.

Q: What kind of metal do you use?

A: I use the Tiffany Method of stained glass soldering. The focal metal is a lead-free, nickel-free blend of silver and tin that melts at a lower temperature, allowing me to encase natural objects that are sensitive to heat. 

Why choose HartVariations?

We only ever use cruelty-free + sustainably sourced creatures. Nature is precious & we understand why you're here --> to celebrate the beauty of the Earth through quality handmade talismans.
