Celtic Goddesses, Witches, and Queens Oracle: (Oracle Kit Box Set with 40 Cards and Guide Book)
Autor Danu Forest Ilustrat de Dan Goodfellowen Limba Engleză – 28 dec 2023
Descoperim în Celtic Goddesses, Witches, and Queens Oracle un instrument de lucru interdisciplinar, situat la intersecția dintre istoria religiilor, mitologie comparată și studii de arhetipologie feminină. Acest set depășește sfera simplului instrument divinatoriu, propunând o recuperare riguroasă a surselor autentice din religia celtică precreștină. Considerăm că valoarea acestui pachet rezidă în capacitatea sa de a traduce concepte complexe — precum suveranitatea pământului sau triadele elementale — într-un sistem de ghidare practic, adaptat pentru dezvoltarea interioară modernă.
Structura celor 40 de carduri este construită pe figuri feminine emblematice, împărțite pe domenii de influență: de la fertilitate și casă, până la aspectele obscure ale morții și transformării. Față de alte lucrări, precum The Celtic Goddess Oracle Deck de Gillian Kemp, care pune accent pe o relație personală și protecție spirituală, lucrarea de față adoptă o abordare mai fundamentată istoric și academic, fiind rezultatul a trei decenii de cercetare și practică în cercuri de druizi. Dacă Celtic Healing Oracle se concentrează pe semnele naturii și ale anotimpurilor, setul creat de Danu Forest prioritizează vocea și înțelepciunea figurilor feminine ca autoritate spirituală centrală.
Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție firească în opera autoarei. Dacă în Wild Magic sau Celtic Tree Magic s-a concentrat pe elementele botanice și sistemul Ogham, aici ea extinde perspectiva asupra panteonului feminin britanic și irlandez. Ritmul lecturii ghidului este unul așezat, oferind explicații detaliate pentru fiecare arhetip, ceea ce facilitează o înțelegere profundă a moștenirii ancestrale celtice.

Recenzii
“Celtic Goddesses, Witches, and Queens Oracle is a wonderful combination of exceptional art and a thorough guidebook, making it an ideal divination option. The imagery is vibrant and evocative, allowing the cards to speak on their own, and the guidebook is a perfect compliment, expanding on the imagery and offering more depth to each figure. This deck could be used for various forms of divination but could also be an ideal devotional tool, helping people connect through story and prayer. The best option I've seen for this subject."
"From the moment I learned that this collaboration between Danu Forest and her husband Dan Goodfellow was in the works, I was breathless with anticipation to work with this deck. Danu is a wonder of a wise woman and scholar whose dedication to the divinities of Britain and Ireland is deeply rooted in academia, informed by tradition, and enlivened by lived practice. Dan is an incredibly gifted artist whose Awen shines through in all of his work, and especially so when it comes to his nuanced and inspirational depictions of the Goddesses featured in this powerhouse of a deck."
Comentariile autorului
•Celtic spirituality is always popular, as is goddess spirituality - this deck and project are going to draw on figures that are often misunderstood homogenized or poorly represented in modern Celtic pagan New Age and spiritual circles, where there is a thirst these days for something more genuine and less Wicca.
•It is easy to use and accessible, attractive and with wide appeal but which also has with a real depth of research behind it and is situated in authentic modern Celtic culture and practice.
•the author is half Irish with an MA degree in Celtic studies from the University of Wales Trinity St David. And has her own spirituality and magical school, and has many years’ experience running women’s circles, covens and druid groups.
•Both author and illustrator (who also has mixed British and Irish heritage) have deep relationships with Irish, Welsh and Scottish cultures and many years’ experience working with the divinities in the deck.
• outstanding art which has already proven popular, and portrays women of varying sizes and types of attractiveness – something which also draws readers these days- makes this a quality project with more depth quality and a more authentic feel than many other goddess decks.
• This beautiful deck will be a visual feast and a pleasure to use giving the reader the sense that they are working with something deeper and more authentic than other goddess or Celtic decks, regardless of their level of experience.
•The cards will be used for divinatory guidance, magical training and as a focus for spiritual devotion with each figure.
•Celtic spirituality and goddesses have often been misrepresented and misunderstood especially to American and New Age audiences, but this deck comes from an authentic cultural spiritual and scholarly perspective, so audiences get something more genuine and can be relied on by modern audiences.
•It offers the audience deeper genuine insights into already popular Celtic goddesses, as well as introducing lesser-known figures and details from archaeology and linguistics relating to these figures historically, to provide more depth, whilst still being fully centered on the spiritual and visionary experience.
