Card Size: 3 3/8 x 5 1/8
“Woven from threads of Welsh mythos, British legend, and Celtic Druidism, The Avalonian Oracle is a transformational journey through the sacred landscapes of Britain and a gateway to the Holy Island of Avalon.”
“The Avalonian Oracle is comprised of seven card divisions representing different phases of the spiritual journey and echoing the seven circuits of the walkable, three-dimensional labyrinth carved into the slopes of Glastonbury Tor.”
I have little experience in the area of the Celtic and the ways of Avalon, of which this deck is based, but the guidebook seems to cover anything you may need to use this deck.
The guidebook covers:
• An Introduction covers how the deck can be used, its structure, the seven divisions, and touches upon sight and synchronicity.
• Chapter 1-7 explains each division and its cards, including card description, keywords, quest, divinatory meaning, and affirmation.
• Chapter 8 presents seven spreads designed for The Avalonian Oracle
The deck is beautiful and includes card titles.
The Calling the Barge guides you to embrace your true needs, to ask the universe to assist you in your journey, and to step forth onto the path.
The Nine Morgens - "Nine sisters rule there by right of birth over those who come to them from our lands."
The Lorekeeper guides you toward creation. She urges you to release the past and be present.
"The page, the canvas, the ground, the present - all are blank and filled with potential."
The time to create is now, pick your materials and create your future.
“The Thirteen Moons of Avalon is a system for deepening our connection with the yearly cycle by harnessing lunar energies to assist us in our understanding of our inner process.”
The Moon of Distillation represents the First Full Moon when the Sun is in Sagittarius and is associated with the herb Yarrow.
The Moon of Distillation guides you to allow change to take place in your life, to push toward your goals past all obstacles, embrace the wisdom gained in your journey, and to relinquish expectations of the outcomes, for the path shall change as you move forward.
Although these cards were picked randomly with my focus mainly on the images, an important message appears here within these three cards. A message which speaks directly to me, and I'm guess to a few of my readers.
Embrace your true path, allow your creativity to flow with no boundaries, and allow for necessary change to occur as you navigate toward your true goals.
If you're looking for another divination tool, a way to gain access to hidden pathways, or to learn more of the Avalonian Tradition, you'll find yourself delighted with the Avalonian Oracle.
I believe this deck would also make a wonderful meditative tool. Can you imagine stepping into the Calling the Barge card?

I love the artwork but I wish Schiffer would do something about their huge borders
I don't really mind the borders. But, I've seen quite a few people talk about cutting the borders off of other decks. Just a thought. :)
The cards are indeed beautiful.
Yes, they are. The abundance of decks could paralyze a person. :)
