This guidebook is multi-layered, much like the illustrations it contains. The drawings were released from serendipity and NatureÕs inspiration so the images instinctively invite self-exploration and a deeper dive into spirituality - as you define it. Like all divination tools, what you interpret from the cards is more important than what others see when they explore them. The drawings speak of intimate conversations with Anima Mundi, EarthÕs Soul, and their intention is to help you find your voice so you may more easily speak to Gaia and Her muses. This divination tool is intended to clear a path to the desires that you and your Guides are currently manifesting. Nature is a healer yet itÕs up to you to heed Her advice. The Oracle of Animae Mundi divination is about free will.
You are invited to sit and study the images and use the cards as way to slow down, to connect Ð or reconnect Ð with the natural world. With the Soul of Earth as your guide, trust your instincts because theyÕre usually spot on. The intention is to tap into your Higher Self. The expanding images eventually take on lives of their own. Found within most of the images are layers of smaller scenes, creatures, and characters, many of them are recurring. Some of these illustrations are directly connected to Dreams and Visions while others stream from the ®ther, that Otherworldly place of Spirit.
This oracle is a natural outgrowth of the companion book Animae Mundi ~ Dialogues With Earth and can be viewed as a supplement though this project can stand alone using this guidebook and the cards. The oracle cards are only available from PrinterÕs Studio and must be ordered separately from that companyÕs website.
The Oracle of Animae Mundi is based loosely on the Celtic Wheel of the Year and interpretations of the nonspatial continuum and the space-time conundrum. The images and their interpretations are heavily influenced by Animist spirituality and include elemental associations and sacred directions, offering another way of interpretation. The oracle recognises the eight Quarter and Cross Quarter Days in the Wheel of the Year and each of the sabbats include eight cards. These sections are divided into ÔsuitsÕ.
