The NW Tarot Symposium is March 1st – 3rd weekend at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas, OR. Divine Muses will have a table at the NWTS Vendors Bazaar, which is open to the public Saturday and Sunday. The vending room is also open Friday, but for NWTS workshop attendees only.
NWTS attendees will have the first opportunity to get a hold of my latest offering. A new oracle deck with handmade mixed media collages using 19th-century artwork and cabinet card photography. Each card was intentionally crafted to form a functional working deck for the practitioner of magic or divination.
The Divine Muses Oracle seeks to explore creativity, mysticism & healing using the archetypal forces found in alchemy, magic, Greek mythology and daily life.
There are 53 cards and the guidebook examines 106 meanings, including the “essence,” or general meaning for the archetype of each card, and its “shadow,” or reversed definition. If you work with archetypes, some cards will be familiar, however there are a few that merge traditional archetypes into “new” ones. They aren’t new archetypes, really, as they already exist in the collective unconscious. They are being “renamed” here, since any archetype that can be named prevails on the spectrum of perennial spiritual truths.
Additional archetypal energies explored:
Nine Greek Muses—including an extra non-traditional Muse.
Four Magical Elements—represented by totems as seen in the 4 Tarot suits.
Alchemical Process—each stage represented by an animal seen in alchemy.
And, other Mystical Creatures, Magical Influences & Divine Prompts.
