Wisdom codes interwoven in the deck-such as bird, animal, and insect totems and astrological influences-add different levels of awareness. The guidebook offers creative spreads and, for each card, divinatory meanings, challenges, and three Grail questions. A unique deck, the Celtic Elemental Tarot encourages you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges, as well as the opportunities, you face in life.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Beauty. Magic. Illumination. Ayn Cates Sullivan's Celtic Elemental Tarot is all of that and so much more! Each card is an exquisite, detailed, and transfixing journey into the heart of Celtic myth and history. Based on the natural elements, these cards transport you to a time and space of true nature and archetypal attunement. A deck like no other! In my recent reading from Ayn, I was spellbound and graced with elevated sensitivity, far-reaching insight, and awakening clarity. Thank you, Ayn, for sharing your profound gifts to help us reconnect to what is True and Good!" * PEGGY O'NEILL, speaker, author, and host of the podcast From Adversity to Awakening * "A portal to wisdom, the Celtic Elemental Tarot is different from all other tarot cards. Imbued with wisdom codes, each card holds a healing vibration. Each card can enhance your awareness of subtle energy and deepen your connection to nature and the elementals. In addition, the cards invite you to journey to realms with knowledge that will strengthen your mind and soften your heart with compassion. Celtic Elemental Tarot is for the true seer who wants to be of greater good to humanity. Of the many tarot and oracle decks I have ever used, Celtic Elemental Tarot is my favorite." * JOANNA GARZILLI, psychic medium, author, and founder of Tarotwood * "Ayn Cates Sullivan is an amazing teacher and mentor who has created a new take on tarot. It is thrilling and educational, full of spirit and insight, and is so very mentally stimulating. Belle's drawings are artfully lovely! Thank you, Ayn, for your insights, brilliance, generosity, and Goddess Grace! May many enjoy this masterpiece!" * LADY REV. DR. SUSAN SCHULTZ, tarot reader * "Author Ayn Cates Sullivan and illustrator Belle Crow duCray have done it again! This time they've created a one of a kind tarot, the natural companion for anyone interested in the legends of the Grail. The tarot cards are like a window into other realms, offering a kaleidoscope of possibilities and healing, drawing deeply from the wisdom of the ages. Each question can lead us into a world of enchantment that is both practical and mystical at the same time. Working with the cards invokes curiosity and wonder, inspiration and gratitude as Ayn masterfully connects us with the ancient roots of bygone traditions and the crystal clarity of the present day." * SUSAN LANGE, OMD, L.Ac. founder of the Core Light Academy and creator of Core Light Magic *
