A Lovely Oracle by Australian Artist Toni Carmine Salerno, April 29, 2008
This review is from: Universal Wisdom Oracle (Cards)
"Both the messages and the paintings in this deck have been created intuitively, that is, without prior thought or planning. All my work is created in this way, as the process leaves less room for the limitations of the intellect to flow through my work." - Toni Carmine Salerno
This lovely, vibrant deck from Australian artist Toni Carmine Salerno speaks to the timeless essence within each of us, inviting us to access this infinite pool wisdom, take a drink, and then bring its knowledge back into our waking life.
Whether relationships, life purpose, healing or indecision, the lushly illustrated cards of the Universal Wisdom Oracle Cards offer gentle guidance pointing to a Higher Knowing for these and other earthly concerns.
Featuring 31 upright images and 14 horizontal ones, this 45-card deck measures approximately 5 ¼ x 3 ¾ inches, with the card backs depicting a soothing sky-blue background pattern with a butterfly in the center.
The 116-page companion book to the Universal Wisdom Oracle Cards provides card interpretations, meditative passages, guided imagery, affirmations and poetic blessings--as well as small black-and-white images of each card.
Some of the card titles in this deck include:
* Dreaming Heart
* Lady of the Rose
* Earth Changes
* Rose Quartz
* Buddha Nature
* OM
* Past Life
* Music of the Spheres
* No More Wounds
* Rest
* Magic Tree
* Intention
* Release
* Abundance
* Oceana
* Luna
* Raphael
Personally, I find this unusual yet accessible deck quite refreshing. I have felt a strong Loving Presence whenever I've used the Universal Wisdom Oracle Cards and found them insightful and accurate--especially about matters dealing with creativity, compassion and self-growth. It's also a wonderful deck for remembering that you're a Spirit having an earthly experiences, as well as for connecting with the Divine and angelic helpers.
If you're looking for an oracle deck that supports the rhythms of nature, goddess energy, and deep soulfulness--as well as one that provides big-picture advice to human concerns--I highly recommend the Universal Wisdom Oracle Cards by Toni Carmine Salerno/Blue Angel Gallery.
