The Avian Oracle Deck & Guidebook
The Avian Oracle brings the reader into the world of birds; their uniqueness and the special affinity humans have with them. For thousands of years birds have epitomized freedom and served as a symbol of the soul. Because they have been associated with some of the most powerful deities and sometimes represented the Divine, it is no surprise that they touch the soul and bring meaning to people’s lives. The book provides background material for understanding the long, historical association humans have with birds. Regarded as messengers of gods and goddesses, birds were believed to provide information about everyday matters through the ancient art of ornithomancy and many forms of divination. From Greek and Roman army generals and rulers to ordinary fishermen, birds served as guides that could help in many aspects of life. From the Druids, the Anglo-Saxons, and Germanic tribes of Northern Europe, to medieval Christian theologians and Jewish Mystics, birds were an integral part of beliefs and practices. Working with the Avian Oracle aids in uniting the personal with the mystical and magical; the mundane with the sacred.
The lovely guidebook that accompanies this deck was written by Sandra Kynes, with all illustrations by our own Gianna Rini. We are currently accepting pre-orders for this deck, with shipping to commence in September 2024.
