This beautiful oracle deck opens an ancient portal into the energy and healing power that connects the stars above us and the plants growing from the earth.

Deepen your connection to the soul of nature - the anima mundi - with this 55-card oracle deck that alchemizes the ancient healing power of plants and the wisdom of astrology.

Since ancient times, sages, shamans and medicine peoples from Indigenous herbal traditions around the world have used astrological correspondences to work with the power of plants, both in divination and in healing. Plants grow and thrive or wither and sicken under cosmological influence just like we do.

Each richly illustrated card in this oracle deck is a wise plant ally and each guidebook entry illuminates the traditional uses, planetary correspondences and the spiritual meaning behind each plant's energetic healing power to guide you along the winding path to healing, connection and purpose.

During the summer of 1979, as a young medical student, author Alphonsus Obayuwana was awarded a prestigious national grant to do a two-year research on Human Hope; little did he know it would take over thirty years of his adult life to sufficiently complete the project to his personal satisfaction.

His three major findings and irrefutable conclusions, following three decades of scientific research, are summarized in "The Five Sources of Human Hope: Mirror of Our Humanity." Obayuwana thoroughly explains where, how, why, when, and from what five sources humans routinely find Hope in life. He demystifies Hope and takes it forever out of abstraction.
