This
morning my favorite postman brought me my oracle deck that I had ordered
online. It’s the Oracle of Shadows and Light. Writing this down I realize that it is the perfect
deck to give myself at Mabon. Since this deck is all about balance and
embracing your shadow.

Life isn't all about light and happy faces. I did
hesitate a long time before I decided to buy this deck. I thought it would be to
girly, superficial perhaps. But OMG I was wrong.
I already connect to the pictures
of this deck on such a deep level. It seems like those lovely whimsical
creatures are calling out to my little inner child to come out and play and don’t
be shy. I like them that much that I’ve just ordered the Oracle of the Shapeshifters too. Usually I’m not that splurging
but this time I knew I had to have those two decks. I think they can teach me a
lot about myself in a playful nonjudgmental way.
The Dutch
version of these decks have the artwork of the Australian versions. I like them
more then the American. Probably because the somewhat darker atmosphere in some
of the cards and perhaps my age???
I’m going
to do my daily draws with these decks. There is a Dutch Tarot website which
gives a question for each day from Mabon until Samhain which you can answer with
your daily draws. So this challenge will hopefully motivate me to play with my
cards daily. And I’m also planning on combining these cards with my Anna K Tarot
deck. What a wonderful way to begin the darker months of the year. Yay!
Ellen, I would love to see these daily questions for Mabon - Yule. Could you translate them and post them?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing you work with this Oracle of Shadows and Light. I know Neopagan Priestess's Kerry uses these. Maybe I should give them a try.
I think I'll give that a try. I'll post them once a week, starting tomorrow on the equinox. I made a mistake in my post: the period is from Mabon to Samhain instead of Yule.
ReplyDeleteIt were Kerry's video's about these oracles that made me take the leap
Hee hee, enabling again :) I have to admit, I love these decks! Will look forward to what you post with them. As Eowyn says, the daily prompts sound really interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou should ask commision :D
DeleteI am working on the questions right now
Oh, those are very sweet! I may have to add them to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteYes they are. They were on my wishlist too long.....:)
DeleteThe first time I ever saw this deck, I had to have it. I use it the most out of my oracle decks. What I love most about this deck is it is never ambiguous, it will always be honest with you.
ReplyDeleteYes it has had this effect on me to, but I've hesitated a long time. Now I am so happy to have it. :D
