The record
Kris Waldherr is one of my favorite artists (and authors!). The quality work keeps on coming with the Sacred World Oracle, a 44 card oracle deck based on the four elements (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth), which comes with a 48 page LWB (Little White Book). Waldherr draws from myth, folklore, and nature to celebrate the beauty and diversity of the earth, and to bring gentle guidance into the lives of those that choose to use it. I loved that the point was made in the introduction that the cards both contain the message, and act as the vehicle to bring the reader the message. Our personal experiences act as a frame of reference for interpreting the cards in view of our daily life. We are essentially, according to Waldherr, releasing information that is already deep within our psyche. These sacred cards help tell our sacred stories. Two spreads are presented the three-card Past/Present/Future spread, and the four card Black Swan White Swan spread. The deck is broken down into four quadrants, representing the four elements. Each quadrant has animals associated with it: Quadrant of Earth: Earth, Cat, Dog, Rabbit, Ram, Bear, Lion, Fox, Bull, Snake, Elephant Quadrant of Water: Water,
