Spirit Says Talking Deck on Kickstarter: A Spirit Board in Your Pocket
Back Sterling’s new deck on Kickstarter!
Spirit Says Talking Deck is a flexible channeling tool for spirit communication, psychic development, and self-reflection.
Whether you’re a medium who finds traditional talking boards clunky and slow, a tarot reader needing flexibility, or a beginner looking to strengthen your psychic senses, the Spirit Says Talking Deck has got your covered.
Created by Sterling Moon with stunning design work by LaTina Lucero, Spirit Says is a flexible, portable, and intuitively designed tool for anyone ready to seek messages from beyond the veil. It offers the components of a traditional talking board or spirit board in an easier to use deck form. Talking boards were all the rage at the height of the Spiritualist era, with roots in automatic 'planchette' writing that can be dated back to the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. There are hundreds of spirit board variations out there, but this appears to be the first time the format has been adapted to deck form.
Use Sprit Says Talking Deck for:
Spirit Communication: Connect with spirits, going beyond traditional archetypes and symbolism
Psychic Development: Practice honing your psychic senses
Tarot Clarifiers: Pull a card when your readings need additional details
Self-Reflection: Intuit messages from your own psyche
What’s Inside the Deck?
Spirit Says Talking Deck is a system for your intuition. The deck includes:
A-Z Alphabet Cards: For spelling out names, initials, places, and direct messages
Numbers 0-10: Perfect for questions on dates, times, or specific amounts
Quick-Response Cards: Yes, No, Maybe, Hello, and Goodbye
Blank Cards: Use these as a signal to trust your intuition or customize them with your own symbols and words
Here’s what early users are saying:
Sterling and LaTina created a screen printed, hand-cut, prototype of Spirit Says in October 2025 that has been remarkably well received.
"I appreciate how open-ended it is. I've used it about a dozen different ways when I feel like I'm not quite seeing what I need to be seeing."
"The spirit of this deck has got a sense of humor! It really just wants you to not take yourself so damn seriously."
"I used it to connect with my maternal grandfather... It worked and he even asked about the kids. It really helped narrow down the message."
Limitless Ways to Explore
The beauty of this deck is that the sky is the limit. It’s designed to be used however feels right for your practice. Here are just a few ways early users are enjoying Spirit Says:
The Pendulum Pal: Lay out the Yes/No/Maybe cards and use a pendulum or dowsing rods to get quick, clear answers from your subconscious or a spirit guide.
The Tarot Clarifier: Struggling to understand your tarot reading? Pull an alphabet card alongside a tarot card. Notice what name, word, or place pops into your head the moment you see that letter.
The Portable Spirit Board: Fan the cards out in a classic talking board pattern and use your psychic senses to divine the message.
Psychic Development: Strengthen your psychic senses by laying cards face down and focusing on what’s on the other side. It’s a workout for your inner sight.
Grounded in Ritual
Spirit communication is most powerful when the channel (that’s you!) is grounded and focused. Spirit Says Talking Deck includes a straightforward guide with practical techniques for:
Grounding and Protection: Learn how to keep unwelcome distractions at bay
Trusting the Spark of Insight: Sometimes all it takes is a single letter to let your psychic senses fill in the rest of the message
Closing the Door: Simple and effective tips for closing the session and cleansing your energy

Beyond the Veil Bisbee + Tombstone
Beyond the Veil: A Mediumship and Paranormal Weekender
Beyond the Veil is exclusively open to alumni of Modern Mediums, my 7-class spirit communication training program. We practice paranormal exploration techniques and experiments, dig into history and local lore, and hold an old-fashioned séance (with some modern twists) that always holds surprises.
This year, the 5th Annual Beyond the Veil is headed back to Bisbee, AZ, with an evening in Tombstone, just 30 minutes away.
We will be based out of the Object Hotel (29 Main St, Bisbee, AZ 85603) with 2.5 hours of private paranormal exploration at The Birdcage Theater (535 E Allen St, Tombstone, AZ 85638).
This year’s event also includes a 2-part poppet making workshop with Sterling, a Timeline Jump meditation with the Marcella Kroll, and of course, the annual BTV Seance.
We’ll gather from approximately 6PM on Thursday, September 24 – 11PM on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
Check out the details here.
BTV Mini at the Waring House
BTV Mini
A mini version of Beyond the Veil held at The Waring House, open to all
Full details can be found here.
Denver Botanic Gardens | Denver, CO
Saturday, December 5, 2026, 5PM - 8:30PM
Includes an additional 2.5 hour virtual prep-class on Spirit Communication, Paranormal Exploration, Folklore of the Yuletide Season, and the fascinating history of the Waring House
Led by Sterling Moon and Seth Browder of Beyond Mediums
The Waring House is a mysterious mansion within the grounds of the Denver Botanic Garden.
Like all of the Gardens and neighboring Cheesman Park, the home was built on top of a cemetery that was never fully moved.
Specifically, it was constructed on the section of the cemetery known as ‘Boot Hill’ where those on the fringes of society were laid to rest and left unclaimed when the cemetery was closed in the early 1900s.
It’s said to be quite the spirited location, which makes it the perfect spot for the first BTV Mini.
BTV Mini starts with a 2.5 hour, virtually-held class, on Wednesday, December 2nd from 6:30PM - 9PM Mountain Time.
We’ll cover spirit communication and paranormal exploration tips and topics like:
How to be a dazzling conversationalist (because “how did you die?” is a terrible opener) and how history can bring out the haunted
That’s not a ghost, you got a text message - using common sense with common “ghost hunting” tools
Egregores, or spirits conjured by the living through repeated action and strong belief, in spirit communication
Spiritual cleansing and aftercare following spirit encounters
We’ll also delve into the very spooky spirit of the Yuletide season. At BTV Mini, we’re not just talking with the spirits of the Waring House, but the wild energy of the season…seance with Krampus and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, anyone?
The virtual class will be recorded and available for replay until December 8th. Especially if you haven’t taken Modern Mediums, attending/watching the class prior to our evening at the Waring House. is expected
Krampusnacht at the Waring House
Saturday, December 5th, 5PM - 8:30PM, Denver Botanic Gardens
Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a stocking filled with treats for you to enjoy both during our evening at the Waring House and once you go home.
We will gather in the great room for our opening and to introduce ourselves to both each other and the spirits of the Waring House.
We will then break into small groups that will be led by Sterling, Seth, and our assistants for focused experiences, including:
A seance to contact egregores of the Christmas and Yuletide Season
Paranormal exploration spirit box sessions using the Estes Method
We will end our evening together back in the great room to share our experiences, talk about spiritual cleansing once you get home (some of the treats in your stocking will help!)

{IN PERSON} Magical Floorwashes: A Make and Learn Workshop @ Ritualcravt School
{IN PERSON} Magical Floorwashes: A Make and Learn Workshop @ Ritualcravt School
Folk traditions teach us to infuse magic into everyday activities like cooking, cleaning, bathing, and more. It’s a wonderful way to make magic a way of life.
In this in-person workshop, Sterling Moon will introduce participants to the magic of floorwashes. Floorwashes are essentially spells for changing the energy of a space, dispelling what’s unwanted, or calling in what’s desirable. The spell is “activated” through the mundane activity of mopping and wiping down commonly used spaces. They are a staple in many folk magic traditions.
Sterling will guide participants through making their own blends, beyond throwing a bunch of herbs and curios together. Sterling will walk participants through divining what needs attention in their home or lives and the process of waking up and listening to the spirits of magical materia like herbs and curios, ensuring that it all works in harmony. Everyone will leave with floorwashes that are uniquely their own magic.
Cost - $45

Political Witch Kickstarter!
Back my first-ever Kickstarter!
Political Witch: Create The World You Want to Live In is a zine for US-based witches and magical practitioners who have a vision of a better world. It's a toolkit with magical and practical strategies, written by a magical practitioner with 20+ years of organizing and advocacy experience under her belt.
Magic and witchcraft are about beating the odds and creating change in situations where it seems like change isn’t possible. Within that framework, witchcraft and magic are inherently political.This zine will offer witches and magical people who are already creating change in their community some of the tools and techniques that grassroots organizers have been using for decades.
We need an army of new leaders in every corner of society and I can’t think of any better community to answer that call than witches and magical folks. We already get stuff done. If we add some time-tested organizing strategy to the cauldron, we will not just change what we don’t like in the world - we’ll co-create a world that we can actually thrive in. This is long-game strategy, but we need that in addition to quick mobilization. All hands on deck. The goal is to distribute Political Witch in all 50 states.
{IN PERSON} Psychometry Circle
Have you ever picked up an item and gotten a sense of the stories behind it?
Psychometry involves receiving psychic impressions about an object, person, place, or event by physically handling an item associated with them. The first hour of the circle will include basic information about the process, the psychic senses that make psychometry possible, and preparation for hands-on practice. The second hour will be spent in practice, handling available items and seeing what impressions we get, including if what we get can be verified. However, this isn’t so much as “right and wrong” as it is about practice and having fun!
There will be a variety of items to practice with including found objects, items that have been used in magical workings, and those thought to be haunted or otherwise attached to a spirit. You are welcome to bring an item share, so long as you are comfortable with it being handled by others.
Cost - $35
{VIRTUAL} Folk Magic for a Fight
Comprised of four classes over eight weeks, we’ll talk about magical and mundane strategies for getting clear on what you want to fight, working with spirits in your resistance work, maintaining your own resilience, and coalition building and organizing.

The break weeks will offer suggestions for getting to work and there will be perks offered throughout the course to incentivize taking additional actions like contacting your members of Congress, rallying folks in your communities, and more. Class starts 3/27 and ends on 5/8. Waitlist price will be $125 ($175 full price). There will, as usual, be a special price for SMDA alumni and paid members of the Patreon.

{VIRTUAL} Meet Your Spiritual Guides
A Virtual Class Offered through Ritualcravt School
Do you know who looks out for you? Who gives you a little push in the right direction when you most need it? That little voice that speaks clearly, but has no name? The concept that we all have guides and protectors that help us along our earthly journey is something that can be found across the world. It is also a concept that feels at odds with the hardship many people experience in their lives. Even for those who are open to the idea, it can be difficult to get more than an inkling of insight as to who one’s guides are and how we can recognize their messages. In this class, we will explore the concept of spirit guides and their role in our lives and use a meditation designed to help us meet one or more of them. Please note, this class requires the ability to sit or lay comfortably for 30-45 minutes at a time in guided meditation.
Building Blocks: Foundational Lessons for a Resilient Spiritual Practice
Building Blocks is a program of the Sterling Moon Divination Academy that is designed for folks who are new to exploring their spiritual gifts and want to build a strong foundation.
Building Blocks is also a good fit for those who are ready to build a resilient and well-rounded spiritual practice. It is especially helpful for those who know they have some kind of psychic or intuitive gifts, but are struggling to understand or refine them. It is also a fit for those who want to connect with their spiritual court and better understand the fundamentals of magical practice.
Comprised of four classes over five weeks, Building Blocks includes lots of self- paced exercises coupled with group practice to give you a strong start as you explore your own unique abilities, learn the basics of conjuration and spellcasting, connect with your spiritual team, and develop a resilient, personal practice you can stick to. The program has a short application process and is capped at 22 students.
{ONLINE} YULETIDE SPIRITS AND TRADITIONS
In this two-class offering in the Folk Magic Fundamentals series, we will delve into the folklore and duality of the Yuletide season. Folk traditions celebrating the Yuletide season and Winter Solstice laid much of the foundation for our modern Christmas. However, beyond the themes of feasting and fun, there is also lore of spirits and mythical beasts and tales both whimsical and terrifying. While Yule is a time of celebration, warmth, and joy, those traditions often serve as a counterbalance to the darkest night of the Winter Solstice, which is a time that spirits are said to roam.
Treat yourself to a few hours this December sinking into the background and stories of the Yuletide season and learning magical traditions you can incorporate into your holiday. Folk magic is meant to be personal and local, so you will also be offered prompts to explore the customs and folklore of your own lineage, as well as those in your immediate community.
{IN PERSON} TAROT 101
Whether you are reading for yourself or a friend, the art of tarot reading can be fun, powerful, and insightful.
