The Emerdeen Oracle Experience Boxes are here!

These are not mass-produced. 

They are not sitting in a warehouse. 

No two are identical. 

Each box is uniquely assembled by me and available only at in-person events or by reaching out to me directly for shipping. 


Inside, you will find more than the handmade Emerdeen Oracle deck (words and artwork by me) and the companion guidebook. You will find carefully chosen elements that personalize your experience — sensory touches, symbolic pieces, small artifacts that feel as though they slipped straight out of the forest and into your hands.


There are a limited number of these in the world. 


And each one feels like it chose you.

When she isn’t writing, she’s elbows-deep in crafts, mixed media, and curated chaos—always drawn to the magic of making something from nothing, much like the cozy fantasy worlds Melody creates in The Emerdeen Series.

Her home is a cozy fantasy that blends art studio, sanctuary (for both humans and dogs), and tasting room—where tequila is appreciated like fine poetry and poured with purpose.
