Oracle of the Dragonfae by Lucy Cavendish

by Lucy Cavendish

From the In the not so faraway past, we were Gods and Goddesses...we dwelt in dimensional lands...Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu...we were Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin...we were fully alive, and we were fully magical. We worked, loved and lived with all the elemental beings...but as time and dimensions were split asunder by false beliefs and fears, we were torn away from our strongest, most protective kin...the Dragonfae. Now they are returning to help us heal ourselves, and to help us save this sacred planet... This deck is a dimensional portal to allow them to return to our realm, and deliver their powerful messages of love, healing and protection for a new generation of magical beings...Welcome to this journey through a world that has for too long been hidden from all but the most courageous of searchers and mystics. Within these pages, and on each of these magickal cards, you will be introduced to, protected by and given messages and wisdom from the boundless world of the Dragonfae, a world which is now ready to be seen by your eyes and experienced by your heart.The long-hidden truth is that the Dragonfae are our flesh and soul kin, our friends, our guardians and our allies. When we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known to some as Gaia, to others as Dana, and by many other names. The Dragonfae have long worked with each other, and with us, to create healings for the forests, waterways, earth and air of this planet, and for all beings, human and otherwise. They are now re-emerging to assist us with the next step in our own rebirth, and in the rebirth of Gaia, she of 10,000 names.The Dragonfae help us to access knowledge from deep within and reconnect us with long forgotten powers of telepathy, telekinesis and the knowingness that we are all one. Now you can tap into their wisdom and guidance with this stunningly illustrated and truly beautiful set of oracle cards.

A lovely set of Oracle cards and book. After reading this book and using the cards I am looking forward to getting to know the cards and dragonfae better. I'm really pleased I bought these and will enjoy working more closely with them.

Несмотря на все препятствия, ожидавшие меня в начале знакомства с книжицей ( http://tadrala.livejournal.com/153076... ), я всё-таки пробилась до её конца.
Руководство содержит небольшое вступление, раскрывающее, кто такие dragonfae, о которых пойдет речь дальше. За ним следует описание 43 карт оракула с черно-белыми иллюстрациями и разделами: послание персонажа (N speaks), о персонаже (about), значение в гадании(divinatory meaning), проработка персонажа (working with). Завершают книгу небольшой биографический очерк об авторе (Lucy Cavendish) и художниках.
Описания карт - личный откровения автора от контакта с миром фейри. Я бы уточнила - австралийских. Именно такими я бы их и представляла в современном мире - эклектичных, несущих в себе частичку тех земель, что осыпали на берегах материка переселенцы, тут же растворившуюся в песках Австралии.
К сожалению, не смотря на четкую структуру руководства, автору не удалось раскрыть систему оракула - видимо, это отдается на откуп читателю. Описания карт - фиксация откровений, которые достаточно бессистемны, даже больше, чем некоторые эмпирические классификации мифологических тварей.
Но должна признать, что при всей моей нелюбви к визионерской эклектике, подход интересный. Автор безусловно что-то интересное уловила и попыталась донести до потенциальных пользователей оракула. Осталось проверить - насколько он рабочий. И главное - добыть ему большой мешочек.

As always, Lucy has yet made another beautiful deck, always balanced, uplifting and inspiring. Their artwork is beautiful, dark and bright. It has a little something in it for everyone.

The only thing I do not like about her decks is the book that comes with them. I find they are too much to read on one card and I find myself thinking, 'get to the point already.' I also at times, find they are not clear, and leave me wondering what riddle I now have to work out. If it wasn't for the book, I've give these cards, five stars.

I adore this set of oracle cards, they are so beautiful and I find more meaning in each card every time I use them for a reading. If you have a love of dragons and the fae, I highly recommend this oracle set.
