Attuned to the movements of nature, the Celts understood that all
things are connected, and they "divined" answers to their queries
as well as what the future holds from the animals, plants, the
winds, and the seasons. Trees and animals had particular knowledge
of past, present, and future. Through natural methods of
divination, bards, healers, soothsayers, and holy women and men
gained powers to see into the unseen. Stories and legends of their
powers were told and retold, transmitting an enormous store of
wisdom across the generations. In this oracle deck and guidebook,
Rosemarie Anderson interprets Celtic myths and legends to create an
oracle system of 64 cards featuring symbols from the ancient Celtic
ways of knowing. The symbols represent three thousand years of
Celtic culture and history, derived from archaeological excavations
of Bronze and Iron Age Celtic sites throughout Europe and from the
myths, folktales, and faery traditions still flourishing in rural
Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The symbols of the cards represent
cauldrons, spirals, leprechauns, faeries, animals, trees, the
wondrous child (Cu Chulainn), the Sacred King, Cernunnos (the
antlered god), the Morrigan (the raven goddess), Tir na nog (the
Blessed Isles), and other imagery and figures from Celtic lore. The
accompanying guidebook explores the meaning, symbology, and mythic
background for each card, such as how the Triple-Mother Goddess
(Card 1) represents magnificence and the primal goddess in all her
aspects--maiden, mother, and crone. The guidebook also explores the
Celtic worldview, the basic principles of Celtic divination, as
well as how to use the oracle to receive answers to specific
questions. Conveying the power and wisdom of the ancient Celtic
ways of knowing, this oracle offers a hands-on way to gain insight
into the hidden forces at play in our lives.
