Weavings of Kabir
Open this deck as you would a beloved, timeworn book of poems. Weavings of Kabir gathers forty-two oracle cards inspired by the luminous verses of Kabir Das, the fifteenth-century mystic who sang of the thread that runs through all hearts. His poetry cuts through confusion with a fierce tenderness, inviting us to meet the sacred in the ordinary. Each card is an invitation to listen more closely, to sit more honestly with yourself, and to remember the quiet, indestructible love at the center of your life.
The Dedication
These forty-two sacred threads are dedicated to the Weaver of All Things—the infinite, loving presence that spins the cosmos from a single drop of light, and softly binds our individual hearts to the whole.
To Sant Kabir Das, the fifteenth-century mystic and weaver who sang with such clarity that his words still ring through the centuries. Thank you for showing us that spirituality does not belong in rigid temples or complex intellectual texts, but at the simple loom of our daily lives, woven through the raw thread of unconditional love.
And to the Seeker reading these cards: May this deck serve both as a quiet sanctuary and a spacious mirror for your soul. When the world grows loud and your thoughts begin to spin, may you return to your quiet center, hear the unstruck sound, and remember that you are already safely home.
Drink deeply of the divine wine.
The Tapestry is already perfect.
“Allow intuition to be the shuttle guiding your weaving.”
Suggestion: Number pennies (or anything about that size) 1 through 42. Place them in a small dedicated bag, big enough to easily reach into with gentle intention when the cards call you. When you are drawn to reach in, find the card that matches your penny. The words may land precisely in your heart with full understanding, or they may need to settle. Return to them as often as you like — they are meant to be lived with, not solved.

Singing the Threads: A Quick Pronunciation Guide
Because Kabir sang his truths in a rich, rhythmic dialect, these simple keys will help you feel the authentic vibration of his original words.
Vowels: ā / āa = long “ah” (father, calm) · ī / īi = long “ee” (meet, see) · ū = long “oo” (boot, moon) · ai = “e” in get / “ai” in hair —
Consonants: hn / ṅ / ṁ = soft nasal (like “ng” in sing) · th / dh / bh / kh = breathed consonants (“th” like hot-house, “dh” like road-house, “bh” like club-house) · r / ṛ = soft flap of tongue, a blend of soft “d” and rolled “r”
Allow your voice to be soft, let the vowels stretch out naturally, and let the rhythm carry you into the meaning.
