Today I'm reviewing Daily Oracle - Seek Answers from Your Higher Self by Jerico Mandybur. Generally I like to start out with a disclaimer. I am identify as a magical Buddhist. I look for the connection between magic and science without the need to search for a creator. I believe in spiritually and holistic wellness. I find that we can heal the world if we just sit down and and listen to the breath. I believe that magic, science and nutritional well being are the cornerstone to a well rounded holistic life. I have recently updated my site from Confessions of a Modern Witch to my new page To Live Whole. I welcome you to come along for my journey of health, wellness and self exploration.
I receive no compensation for these reviews and all my links are standard Amazon links and not affiliate links. I am a practicing photo reader and have spent the last 16 years honing my craft. I offer personal readings by request and have a strong online history that boasts over 438,000 views
As you know I'll be switching over to reviewing only e-copies of books shortly. I will miss handling the books but the amount of trash that I had piling up for all the shipping was just overwhelming. I will be doing a giveaway for the remaining physical books that actually arrive as well as asking my publishers to provide giveaway copies shipped directly to my winner's homes going forward for all giveaways.
My review copy was a small smooth covered book with stars and planets across the front and back. It is a pretty thick book, which makes it a bit difficult to carry in a handbag but would be excellent in a backpack or tote bag. There are no real illustrations inside with only the all seeing eye image on the left side of each of the pages. The pages are in black and white only lacking any color at all, however I found that I enjoyed the jumps from black to white that the pages delivered.
This book is like similar oracle books on the market. The author takes a moment on the back cover and the front of the book to explain to the reader how to use the oracle book.
We're asked to set our intentions, much like one would do for a tarot reading and then select our page using our intuition. The pages provide messages like - Conviction is a light that can never be blown out and Don't gild the lily. I worked with this for a few days and found it insightful and pleasant. My favorite I think was "There insecurities are not your reality". Good stuff.
Overall this is a great book to give as a gift to a grad student, maybe a housewarming gift or something for the new witchling. I believe that anyone who is motivated by those "thoughts of the day" or positive affirmations would enjoy this book. It reminds me of the Magic 8 Ball in book form!
Mon Oracle Quotidien n'est pas tout à fait ce à quoi je m'attendais, je pensais que c'était plutôt un livre avec des affirmations quotidiennes alors que c'est plutôt un livre qui donnera des réponses à des questions. Je pense que la version française n'est pas aussi pertinente que l'anglaise (originale), certaines traductions sont un peu bizarres.
A lovely little pink oracle gift from my daughter already providing fun thoughtful messages and more for the year to come.
July has just started and most days begin or end with me dipping into the oracle. It is uncanny how the messages received are such brilliant echos of reality. Definitely a gift that keeps on giving!
