Two dear friends and I have been working with this deck every morning for the last few months and I wanted to share it with you. It’s been wonderfully enlightening and helpful to us as we choose our respective card and then reflect on it for the day - or throughout the day, I should say. The messages are clear and simple, yet profound concepts to walk with through a busy day.

While I was shuffling the cards, I was thinking of the summer breezes and wishing they would bring in new vitality and insight into my next project.
Read MoreJuly is a great time to begin envisioning a new story for ourselves and our world. The monthly oracle draw gives guidance from the cards.

The particular card I drew for us is not at all specific to the Avalon story. It is, however, universal and always applicable to our lives. I used to teach interpersonal communications and human relations and so the subject has become part of me.
Read MoreNot only have we been given this card at the beginning of spring, the season of new beginnings, but our world is in a new place in so many ways, a place with new possibilities but also new dangers. The Major Arcana lays out the guides and experiences of Life’s Journey. This one does so using Welsh mythology and ancient wisdom.

A refreshing sign of hope and endurance comes with the image of salmon jumping as they head upstream.

Read MoreDiscovery has to do with seeing the value beyond the first impression. This funny-looking, mud-wallowing, seemingly dumb animal is nothing of the sort. The Celts got that. This card reminds us to do so as well.
Read MoreI chose Jane Burn’s sweet little Celtic Oracle Portal to the Sacred Trees for this month’s bonus card. This is not a traditional tarot. It consists of a carefully selected and beautifully described set of trees which were sacred to the Celts. Each tree held and still holds special meaning and significance. Jane offers a healing ritual and a meditation after each tree’s place in Celtic lore is described.
Read MoreFor the August tarot card, I drew The King of Wands from The Celtic Tarot by Helena Paterson. The illustration above is by Courtney Davis. In all tarot decks, wands/staves or clubs represent fire and spirit. The king is the highest court card in each suit.
