Whispers From The Woods Series

The Story Behind Whispers From The Woods

Whispers From The Woods began as a heartfelt mother and daughter collaboration between Carys Martin and Marleen Morgans.

Living on opposite sides of the world, we wanted to create something that would connect our thoughts, memories, and daily rhythms. What began as a small seed of an idea slowly grew into a 48-card oracle deck and companion book inspired by folklore, nature, ancestral wisdom, and the landscapes of the British Isles.

Carys brought the vision, writing, research, and card meanings, drawing on childhood memories of growing up in Cumbria, family stories, plant lore, Celtic traditions, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.

Marleen brought each card to life through her original hand-painted illustrations, capturing the spirit, symbolism, and quiet presence of every plant, tree, creature, and story within the deck.

The project later grew into a three-generation collaboration when Carys’s son, Jamie Martin, created the digital reading experience, allowing the cards to be explored online through readings, journaling, and reflection.

Together, Whispers From The Woods became more than an oracle deck. It became a gathering of art, memory, folklore, family, and the wisdom carried through generations.

A way to pause.
A way to listen.
A way to return to the woods.
