As Samhain approaches, with its tradition of divination, I thought it time to share a little about the two oracle decks that I’ve acquired over the past few months.
I recently received Maggie Black’s second self-published oracle deck, ‘Tree Whisper Oracle, The Secret Garden’, a magical, verdant companion to last year’s ‘Tree Whisper Oracle’. Maggie’s new deck is another expression of the creative energy her life-long relationship with the trees and tree spirits has inspired.
Both Tree Whisper oracles are effective gateways for me. I tend to work with them by gazing into the images, allowing the tree spirits to dance and play, or to simply be still. If they wish to share their wisdom, I am listening. I’ve been working exclusively with ‘The Secret Garden’ over the past few weeks while the light half of the year is with us. Soon, I will turn to the first ‘Tree Whisper Oracle’, with its more autumnal and wintry images, in order to align with the dark half of the year.
The other wonderful deck I’d like to mention is ‘Wisdom of The Cailleach, An Oracle & Journey with the Old Woman of Ireland’ by Jane Brideson. There are two editions published with a third, I believe, planned for next year. I’ve not received permission to share images, and am aware that Jane is taking a little break, so I’ll provide a link to Jane’s website – as well as Maggie’s.
To set off on your own journeys with these decks, or to learn more, please have a look: Maggie Black: https://treewhisperoracle.wixsite.com/website and Jane Brideson: https://theeverlivingones.blogspot.com/.
