Hi, I’m Shannon Grissom, the creator of the Sock Monkey Oracle!

What inspired me to do this deck?

Our Mom

One day, in response to a painting competition, I created a still life painting as a tribute to my late mother. As I thought of items that would compose the still life, I remembered Mom’s sock monkey.

Something magical happened when I started to create the first sock monkey painting. During each session, I felt I was channeling Mom’s love into the artwork.

Well, that felt good, so I kept painting! Over several years, close to 50 paintings emerged.

During the pandemic lockdown the text was channeled, and presto, the Sock Monkey Oracle was born.

What’s my favorite card?

Love.  It flavors the whole deck.

What do I want people to know?

The Sock Monkey Oracle is like having a very fun, wise, and loving guide on speed dial. It’s perfect for seasoned oracle deck aficionados and folks who have never heard of oracle cards.
