A much-needed guide to this increasingly popular divination system written by a Lenormand master and teacher. The Lenormand deck, consisting of 36 numbered and named cards, has been popular in Europe for centuries, and has now been embraced in North America by tarot enthusiasts, oracle readers, and others. Each card depicts an archetype - a fox, a snake, a coffin, or whip, for example - rather than tarot's somewhat more involved symbology. This makes the Lenormand system an easy entry point to divination. Respected Lenormand authority, Erika Robinson believes that Lenormand is not just a deck of cards, but is also a language that, if mastered, can help one achieve self-empowerment and the ability to attain the life you desire. In this, her first book, Robinson, a longtime English teacher, helps readers become fluent in the language of Lenormand. The author provides a guide to the meanings of each card, so that no prior knowledge of Lenormand is required, however this is a sophisticated Lenormand book that takes Lenormand to the next level and is suitable for those who are already familiar with it.

A hauntingly appealing oracle deck that connects us with our past and opens the potential of our future by connecting us with our ancestor archetypes, or spirit guides. The Beloved Dead includes 81 cards with vintage photographs depicting our collective family of ancestor archetypes. The oracle can be used to help you connect with consciousness that has survived its incarnation here, in the land of form, and now resides energetically as Spirit. Enlightened radiant souls full of afterlife, every spirit in this deck is a bright star in the constellation that is our soul's enchanted quest. These are the voices of your protective and guiding ancestors, Spirit Helpers who understand that every minute you spend on this side of the veil, there's great work to be done. They've come together to reconcile the fellowship of the past, with the unlimited potential of the future. A special card called the "Spirit Throne" is included to be used as a Seat of Honor, a sacred space within which to hold counsel with a particular card. The accompanying full-color guidebook provides an array of spreads to meet specific sorts of inquiry. While gender-specific pronouns are used in the descriptions of these cards, please use your intuition when connecting with the image on the card and develop a profile for its unique energy. At times, The Beloved Dead oracle cards will represent a specific soul, living or in spirit; at other times they may convey an experience, memory, event, or outlook, and always deliver a message related to the context of your question.

A fantastical deep-​sea world awaits in this set of two complementary oracular decks, to be used in combination or alone. These beautiful decks invite us into a world inhabited by iridescent characters who lend their magic, myth, and tentacles( ) to every oracle reading. The result is as seductive and eternal as the legendary sirens' song. Here, deep, arcane currents flow and animate the skeletons of those who came before and the guardians of those who are still to come--the keepers of our Unfolding Story. Hidden within these dark waters are secrets and sunken truths, some weighty, others as light as sea spray. This, dear diviner, must seem a strange and uncharted realm; but it teems with new life and unsung potential. Are you ready to take this voyage of discovery? This divination kit contains two oracles: a Kipper and a Lenormand. When used together they provide the highest, fullest degree of possible interpretation. Unlike tarot and oracle decks, which are read intuitively, Lenormand cards are read metaphorically, and Kipper cards are read quite literally. Lenormand deals with the outer world, and Kipper deals with the interpersonal. The most common way to read Lenormand and Kipper is to treat the card meanings as words and read them in order. There can be a certain amount of intuition in how you approach the card meanings, but they have set meanings. The Kipper deck is not a card deck that has the capacity to address larger societal issues. It's more on a personal level, aimed at the everyday realities of people's lives, and it reflects both the highest and the lowest possibilities those lives can contain. It depicts people, societal roles, and personal states of being. As for the card decks themselves, there are four additional cards in the Lenormand deck--an extra child, man, woman, and dog. For the extra "dog" card, the image is a cat. For the Kipper deck, there are two extra marriage cards for all types of unions. The companion book contains instructions to "create your deck of choice" by removing unwanted options and mixing and matching.

Connect with your ancestors to seek guidance, insight, and healing with this unique deck that combines playful vintage photography overlaid with familiar tarot imagery and symbols. The Relative Tarot features vintage 19th-century photographs of ancestors from a wide array of ethnic origins and various walks of life. Its aim is to help you discover your true potential by connecting you with your beloved ancestors. The ancestors come together in the spirit of providing not only answers but resolution, evolution, truth, and transcendence. They are here to help illuminate that deeper meaning that may or may not have eluded them in life. This spirited deck is rich in photographs overlaid with familiar tarot imagery. The accompanying book guides readers on how to calculate their personal birth, annual, and significator cards, inspired by the works of Mary K. Greer and the late Angeles Arrien. The Minor Arcana represents how our life lessons have materialized on the physical plane through the initiations, tests, and lessons unique to each suit. The deck includes multiple versions of select cards in the Major Arcana so that readers can choose those that best represent their sexual orientation and gender identity.
