THE DECK OF SHADOWS

A new divination experience has arrived!

Our oracle cards were originally created for private use and designed as a supplement for other intuitive methods. We soon discovered that the deck had a much wider charm and so
were convinced to release it to you. Conceived to use the words on each card as the primary method of interpretation and containing a "soul" of their own, you no longer have to memorize symbol and image meanings nor be relegated to constant referral to reference materials in order to understand what the cards are saying. Just let the words, themselves, speak to you and rouse passionate and moving associations. Whether you are new to divination or an experienced Reader, The Deck of Shadows will express itself to you like none other.

WARNING: The Deck of Shadows contains images from classical artists. Some pictures present historical and mythological events with a sensual or mature theme and contain nudity.

The Deck of Shadows is similar to a pack of Tarot cards and can be used for divination, inspiration, inner guidance, and developing your intuition. It is first and foremost a method for exploring the images, feelings, metaphors, and symbols that we experience in everyday life. Within the deck, gracefully contained in 54 cards, are the major life themes
we all experience at one time or another. The cards were born of concepts from the fields of psychology, mythology, and mysticism - you might prefer to think of the deck as a unified theory of living.

Whether you are new to reading oracle cards or a veteran Seer, there is something in the cards that awaits you. For experienced Readers, these cards were designed to supplement
what you are already intimate with and provide even greater depth to your insights while also giving you some fresh themes to explore. For those new to the art of divination, there is no need to memorize arcane symbols or study esoteric texts if you don't want to; the very meanings of each card are openly set forth so that you may jump right in and concentrate on intuitive interpretations.

Use The Deck of Shadows to answer questions, find the hidden meaning behind a challenge you face, jump start a project, obtain inspiration for a friend, or just have fun exploring the stories that unfold as you turn over the cards.

ABOUT ORACLE DECKS

An oracle deck is a deck of cards that allows a person to increase his or her gift of divination, intuition, and prophecy.  Their use is as unique as the person reading
them, and they are commonly used to gain insight into a person's questions or current life situation. Oracles of various types were extremely common throughout many ancient
cultures and have had the power to influence their history, religion, and the governing of countries.

The paintings contained on the cards are in the public domain and offered through fair use. For more information on the individual paintings and artists, you are encouraged to
consult the deck's accompanying booklet in addition to searching the Internet and contacting hosting museums.
