Legends say that before there was time, before there was language, there were the sacred symbols. The Medicine Wheel, the Curse, the Eagle, the Jaguar, and others spoke to us intimately. In their countless manifestations, they offered hope, expressed caution, illuminated opportunity, inspired creation, courted power, and shared knowledge. The sacred symbols belong to the realm of archetypes and the collective unconscious, the spiritual common ground shared by peoples modern and ancient.
Now, three master teachers and healers- Alberto Villoldo , Colette Baron-Reid , and Marcela Lobos - have brought their wisdom and talents together to offer a doorway into the realm of the sacred symbols with the Mystical Shaman Oracle . When you consult the oracle, you summon power and insight that can help you understand the present, heal the past, and influence the course of your future.
We can become our own prophets and visionaries. We can converse directly with Spirit, dialogue with the forces of nature, speak with the great archetypes-the ancient gods-without intermediaries. No one needs to stand between the Creator and you, or between you and the great powers of nature.
Internationally acclaimed oracle expert and best-selling author Colette Baron-Reid has created a unique oracle card deck that opens a gateway to Spirit through the archetypal energies of the living beings that share our planet.
Animals, Colette explains, are allies for our souls and act as our teachers and sacred healers--but our disconnected way of life has often blinded us to this truth. Now, however, our world is poised for a shift as we begin to hear a call to renew our sacred connection to all that is. The 62 cards in this deck are tools to enable our transformation.
Each animal, two-legged or four-legged, feathered or finned, from water, earth, or sky, has the potential to deliver a special message aligned with your authentic need, arriving at just the right time and place. Each carries a transcendent archetypal symbolism and offers a message of enduring truth to help you act in a way that brings purpose, prosperity, and magic to your life. Every card in the deck has an essential meaning (for Antelope Spirit, it's "Life is speeding up!") along with a detailed Oracle Message and a helpful Protection Message. Canary Spirit, Dragonfly Spirit, even Electric Eel Spirit--all have essential wisdom to impart, if you're ready to listen.
"Something magical is stirring in the heart of our beautiful planet these days," Colette tells us. "Can you feel it too?" If the answer is yes, you've come to the right place.
The
"Smudging" is the common name given to powerful cleansing technique from the Native American tradition; however, the burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification is a common practice among many religious, healing, and spiritual traditions. It is a ceremonial way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies or influences. It is also an effective method for energizing or blessing a person, place or object. You can smudge your home or work space as part of a general spiritual housecleaning, and you can cleanse crystals or other objects of any negative or lingering energy with a smudging ritual.
It’s really personal preference as to when and how often to smudge. Here’s a list of just a few occasions where you may find it beneficial.
- during a full moon to help you release
- during a new moon to welcome new beginnings
- on the equinoxes
- before you meditate, start a ritual or healing session as well as after
- to cleanse your crystals
- when you first move into a home
- when you begin a new job or business
- after a negative guest leaves
- after an argument
- after a break up
- to lift your mood
- if your having trouble sleeping
- during an illness
- if you feel a ‘presence’ in your home
- when you bring a new piece of furniture/home decor into your home (especially if it’s a second-hand item)
When smudging, put the material of your choice in a shell, clay pot or other non-burnable container (putting some sand in the bottom of the container will help when/if you need to extinguish the smoke). Light it, allowing it to burn for a few moments. Fan out the flames, it is the smoke of the smoldering herbs or incense that clears negativity, cleanses, focuses and purifies.
If you are smudging your home, make sure to get the smoke into all 4 corners of each room, in closets and cupboards. Starting in the furthest corner and working your way to the front door is an effective way to move the negative energy out of your space. If you have a multi-level home you can start in the basement and work the energies up the stairs to the front door, do the upstairs next and finally the main floor to finish. Once you are done open doors and windows to help pull out the moved energy.
Popular herbs and incense used:
Sage – purification

Sweetgrass – welcome good energy
Lavender – invitation of spirits
Myrrh – maintain a state of enlightenment

Working with the Angels to Release, Heal, and Transform
Wings of Forgiveness is a book written for anyone who is ready to release their past and find freedom from fear. Kyle has found through his personal psychic practice and work with the angels that when people are experiencing difficulties, there is one topic that helps click everything else into place - forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not an easy subject, but it is a necessary focus in spirituality and personal growth. In Wings of Forgiveness , the reader is taken on a journey - not outside of themselves, but within. They are encouraged to see and accept that they are held and cherished by the divine, that there are loving angels by their side, and master souls in heaven that have walked the path before them.
In order for forgiveness to take place, the healing must begin inside - then it can start to reflect outwards and into the reader's life. Kyle draws on many spiritual texts, including A Course in Miracles and The Gnostic Gospels , making these sacred concepts more accessible for his 21st Century readers. Together with the angels, he will show you how to call in the power of heaven to help you forgive, release all that no longer serves you and experience joy and peace.
