Celtic Elemental Tarot is designed to help you re-vision yourself. Ayn’s poetic writing and Belle’s hand drawn artwork invite you to explore multidimensional doorways where all space and time interweave with eternal truths. Retelling ancient stories for the age in which we live, the wisdom stays alive and relevant. Images can be more powerful than language and becoming aware of the impressions that guide our lives can be profound.
The Green Woman and Green Man invite in the dance of the masculine and feminine principles that support all life. You will meet Grail Champions, including the Heroine Dindraine, the first person to achieve the Holy Grail. The many wisdom codes encoded in the deck invite multiple levels of awareness including bird, animal and insect totems, as well as gem & flower essences, magical color combinations, astrological and elemental influences.
Tarot can support us in becoming more conscious of the dualistic challenges we face, our moral dilemmas, and what it is to be a wholesome human being. Inquiry adds a component of psychological depth to the cards, encouraging the reader to develop their own self-knowing. “The Grail” & “Wheel of Life” are two creative new layouts that encourage the querent to design their own Grail and blessings for the World. Myths and legends have threads of wisdom that weave like gold through tales encouraging you to reimagine yourself, your past, your present, your future, your challenges, your connections, your ancestral roots, and ultimately, your wholeness.
The Fair Folk Oracle
Summary of the Fair Folk Oracle
By Ayn Cates Sullivan, illustrated by Belle Crow duCray
The Fair Folk Oracle offers wisdom from ancient Ireland. In the deck we meet pivotal members of the Tuatha Dé Danann who emerge as Guardians, Oracles, and a Druid. They are also referred to as the Sidhe or Aos Si. The four magical treasures of the Sidhe also appear amongst the cards as special gifts wielding unique powers that support civilization and empower the querent. Irish Faeries arise as elementals and nature spirits, who continue to imbue the land with life affirming wonders. The Aos Si love colors, and this deck contains plant and star-lore as well as healing color-codes to invite magical seekers deeper into the mysteries. This whimsical and playful Oracle offers unique spreads just for this deck, such as “A Sip of Wisdom,” “The Butterfly” and “Ancient Ireland: An Ancestral Power Reading.”
The Fair Folk Oracle can be combined with the Celtic Elemental Tarot using the “Cross of The Fair Folk” spread to bring healing light into a reading. A sample reading is offered at the end of the book. For those interested in learning more about the Tuatha Dé Danann, there is also a suggested pilgrimage through sacred Ireland called Danu’s Imrama, which means ‘journey of the soul.’
The Fair Folk Oracle includes a multitude of Irish folklore. The reader will meet deities such as Danu, the mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and her children who all have supernatural abilities. There is also Red Macha, a goddess who shapeshifts overtime into another Macha who rules as the first High King of Ireland. There are stories of the good Dagda, the romantic Aengus Og, and many more. There are also several nature spirits in the Faery cards including a Gnome who tends roots, dancing Undines, a Sylph, a lucky Leprechaun and a few flower spirits. This is a deck to uplift and inspire the inner child and the imaginative adult. Anyone with Irish ancestry will find the research fascinating.
