Sacred Heart – A new Project, a new Oracle Deck.

Gaia Oracle, Sacred heart, Toni Salerno
My card for today is Sacred Heart - Passion, Love, Spiritual Communion, from the Gaia Oracle by Toni Salerno. We see a beautiful crimson red heart in the center of this card. The heart is burning with passion and desire but it is not consumed by it. It is perfectly balanced between the sun and the earth. It has exposed itself fearlessly to the radiant fiery sunrays and at the same time it is deeply rooted into the earth. This is causing the perfect centering of the heart.
This card is all about following your passion, doing the things you love most, without being afraid of failure. Trusting Spirit will keep you motivated and  inspired to express yourself creatively.
Yesterday I’ve gifted myself the Dutch version of the Gaia Oracle. I’ve bought it because I love the artwork and the warm color tones. Also I want to use it to for a more in depth exploration of the Divine Feminine. I love it that Toni Salerno has depicted the men and women in this deck not too detailed so we can veil them with our own perception of divinity.
I will be using this oracle also on my Dutch blog: “Tarot bij de Koffie”. A few days ago I’ve  written, after a very long time, a post for this blog again. I think I am going to do this regularly without neglecting  “Greylady’s Hearth”, which feels so like home to me. Writing has always been a passion of mine. I could live without making art but my life would feel incomplete without writing. Writing in Dutch allows me to flow just a bit more than writing in English. Less searching for words or looking for phrases. Besides wording my thoughts, writing an English post is sometimes also a bit like solving a puzzle. J
I’ve put a tab for “Tarot bij de Koffie” at the top of this blog and if you like to pay me a visit there you are always welcome.

  1. A beautiful card. The Gaia Oracle has been on and off my wishlist, I'd love to know what you think of it!

    I applaud anyone who knows more than one language...especially if English isn't their native one. I imagine English is a very difficult one to learn. It is the only one I know. I did take Japanese in college though. I don't think I'm confident enough to pull out my old schoolbooks and attempt to write in it though. I have a hard enough time writing proper English! *laughs*

    1. Up until now I really like this deck. It reads very intuitive. The guidebook is sufficient and I like the affirmation which come with every card but you don't really need it. The keywords on the cards in combination with the beautiful artwork is more than enough to work with.

    2. Good to hear! I like being able to divine meaning from a card without looking at the guidebook. It's hard for me to do but I feel like the keywords would be helpful in that regard. They give a clue but still leave room for me to come up with a full answer by myself. Thanks for the extra info!

  2. I'm amazed that you have such a good grasp of the English language, both in reading and writing. You are a talented, smart woman. I'll have to head over to your other blog (and see what kind of craziness comes when I let Google Translate get a hold of the posts, lol).

    1. Thanks a lot Bev :D
      I've tried Google translate myself but sometimes it just looks like gibberish :D
      It makes me doubt my capacity to write in Dutch. lol

  3. I know what you mean about not writing in your mother tongue being harder work. Still, you do it with great aplomb. Tee hee, I looked that one up in Dutch and saw that they translate it as self-confidence, and also "aplomb" - so you use the same word, no troubles there!

    1. Haha that is a good one!!!
      Thanks Chloe and don't get me wrong I love to practice my English writing skills here. But for instance I've been trying to write haiku's (inspired by Zanna) and I only seem to be able to do this in Dutch.

    2. That's fair enough, poetry is quite tricky enough even in your mother tongue :D
