Once you've seen yourself in the mirror of your truth, you cannot look away.
The real art of writing is honouring your authentic self and saying all the things the rest of the world is afraid to utter.
This type of writing demands bravery.
To thine own self be true
This isn't easy work.
The cards will take you to shadowlands and forgotten places of your past.
They will also put the tip of a sword into your strengths and drive your authentic voice into the open.
Know thyself
This is a relationship built on trust, synchronicity, and a little bit of whimsy.
You'll feel it in your hollow bones if this is for you.
If you sense it, answer it.
She's waiting.
Accept the call

You crave a new form of writing. Beyond genre-bending and fancy form. you want to create gut-wrangling narratives that implode the reader's perception.
self-knowledge has been your lifelong quest. it's more than a religion. it's an obsession.
These peeps are your peeps: kim krans, chris-anne Donnelly, (did i mention kim krans?), and... naturally, carl Gustav Jung.
As we get to know Jung's work, we'll find that he was all about imagery and symbolism.
Every entry in the guidebook has a visual foundation.
Each card has its own familiar.
Josephine loves indulging in multiple metaphors.
This is the heart of each intuitive image I made for the Josephine deck.
I wouldn't consider these cards the best representation of my artistic skill, but I certainly view them as my most authentic.
These messages feel channelled and God-breathed.
For you.
This deck has a secret desire to jinx you into a Jung nerd. These pages include the latest insights in depth psychology, how it connects to writing, and there are a number of innovative writing portals to ignite your imagination.
Each entry starts with a quote from Carl Jung, introducing us to the deepest concept of the card.
On this first page I also include a link to a heart-to-heart video where I share my personal influences while creating the card.
All the integral parts of Josephine are available to everyone at no cost. However, for visionaries who want excavate further and are ready to take their writing to an entirely different level, I've created an intimate, live workshop for each card (also recorded for lifetime access).
I share innovative writing exercises related to the card's theme that have rarely been seen anywhere else (if ever). In addition, I always share a personal video where I talk about a personal story behind the creation of the card.
Each card has its own article, providing insight on the specific Jungian concept and how it applies to writing.
with every single card
I struggled to find writing techniques and teaching methods that matched my way of creating. i had to invent magical processes of my own. now i'm sharing them with you.
I work with intuitive, experimental, genre-bending writers who enjoy breaking traditional language and publishing rules.
We throw out all linear methods, plot planning and please-the-market nonsense. Instead, using depth psychology to hone your true soul voice, we honour the shapes and themes your writing wants to inhabit.
"Michelle not only helped me shape my story; she had helped me find my own voice within it."
marie A. Wishert
"Michelle's book, 300 Grams, is a radical work that defies genre boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, art and writing, poetic enquiry and scientific research."
stacy hardy
"What truly elevates Michelle's work is her driving desire to understand and enhance the author’s unique voice."
