Sock Monkey Oracle

Feel The Nostalgia. Start Something Magical!

The sock monkey, a largely popularized vintage icon, has brought joy and love to homes for decades.

Dating as far back as the 1930s—at the height of the Great Depression—sock monkeys became most known for their vibrant red mouth fashioned out of Rockford Red Heel socks. At a time of severe economic distress, these unique stuffed toys were gifted to families and children as notions of hope, happiness, and…hugs!

Today, Shannon Grissom continues this long-lived tradition with the Sock Monkey Oracle card deck. Bridging the gap in history as a toy made for children, the card deck proves sock monkeys can infuse your life with joy at any age.

Discover your playful energy, embrace the nostalgia, and open up to love with 46 passion-filled readings and cards, including:

Tee Time as a reminder to just have fun,
Unwind as a reminder to relax and take self-care,
Parenting as a reminder to persevere when things get a bit messy, and

so many more!

No matter the card, the Sock Monkey Oracle will leave you with a warm hug, a gentle laugh, and a whole lot of love.

This wonderful deck is published by Beyond Words Publishing and distributed by Simon and Schuster.

Beautiful, Joyful, and Fun!
I love it. They are always so inspirational. Speaking of inspiration, my employees and I love the Sock Monkey Oracle cards! We love to start our workdays selecting a card and reading from the guidebook. It is so much fun and gives us a good feeling. I enjoy your descriptions and how you tie everything in with Sock Monkeys but yet it also allows us to look deeper into our own lives.

We are sharing our love of the decks with customers and have been selling the product. I have been starting with small quantities of everything for my gift shop but I am happy to say I am reordering these. so beautiful, joyful, and fun.”

I had an experience with the oracle cards two days ago, leaving me wide-eyed and laughing! As I was shuffling the cards one fell to the floor, Cheer, I picked it up placing it in the middle of the deck. I proceeded to shuffle, for good measure I shuffle three times, and I gasped in amazed delight to see the oracle card was, CHEER! Again!
These beautiful fun cards have brightened my mood everyday since I received them. I select one card after my morning mediation and it’s been a joyous addition to my mornings. A dose of light-filled joy.

I don’t know how this is working but it is! Thank you for allowing the work of spirit to enter through your work and into the world.

I started smiling before I ever opened the box. The cards and accompanying book are well packaged, with a joyful sock monkey on the cover, and a mischievous one on the back climbing over a fence. Even his backside smiles at you.

Shannon’s artwork is beautiful and radiates joy. The gorgeously hued cards are large, well made, and are surprisingly easy to shuffle with my small hands. The accompanying guidebook lovingly nudges you to explore the meaning of your chosen cards in a positive, proactive, and spiritual way.

The Thick Skin Rocker and Point of View are two of my favorites so far. It’s fun to explore each day and see which joyful monkey oracle card presents itself for my consideration.

Artist and author, Shannon Grissom states in her guidebook, “No matter what card you choose, the Sock Monkey Oracle will leave you with a big, warm hug, and benevolent guidance.” That pretty much sums up how I feel about these gems.

I am grateful that I added these unique cards to my card collection. They make me smile, and I am happy to say that they are my circus and my monkeys.
