Alice in Wonderland Tarot Deck and Guidebook

Product Information

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, and, Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) occupies a unique space in our imaginations. In its time it was a dreamscape children's nonsense story on one level, and on another a biting satire aimed at adult readers. Far from being an aimless confection, the Alice stories lampooned Victorian society, social and political figures, popular fads, ideas, literature and beliefs, challenged readers with puzzles, conundrums, and ‘logic’. And, Alice's adventures take place in a world rich in symbolism and archetypes. ALICE IS BRAVE. And so are you. With everything that has taken place in your life of late, you have often felt overwhelmed, challenged and uncertain of whether you could cope with very much more. But you have shown great courage, and perhaps even more wonderfully, youve developed so much resilience. Because of the extreme nature of the events and experiences you have been working with, you will now be able to deal with all manner of circumstance with great calm and stoicism. And this is no small thing! Divination： A wondrous opportunity is going to break through your ordinary reality and give you the chance to change your world and your perception, forever.

This spread is laid out in a U-shape, to represent the fall down the rabbit hole, the adventures within Wonderland, the rise to the surface and the emergence of new wisdom in our everyday lives. Reversed : Opportunity after opportunity, chance after chance to have adventures, but not feeling ready. Thinking you must think on it, take more time or even that the opportunity will come by again. Hesitation is costing you a more exciting, dynamic and enchanted life. Divination： Animal communication. A proximity to animals. Enjoying the company of animals. An interest in animal behaviour and symbology. Feeling drawn to animals more so than humans. Intuitively understanding their needs. Rewards of friendship, closeness and trust.

Consider the question as you shuffle 一 it is in this way that the question is asked - through your voice, mind, subconscious and the handling of the cards, which can feel what it is we need to know. was heralded as the beginning of a new era on Earth by millions of spiritual folks, and at that time, I was undergoing a very strange adventure of my own. Oracle of Shadows and Light. Oracle of the Shapeshifiers and The Lost Lands were all being published in Japan. I was invited to do a tour, teaching workshops and conducting readings. I didn't know the person who invited me and I could not speak Japanese. I was honoured and delighted, but I wouldnt understand the language. The culture, while beautiful, fascinating and graceful, was a whole new world. I would not know what to eat or drink. To follow this White Rabbit of an opportunity, I would have to leave my family and home, and go by myself to a distant land. Would I grow smaller because of this adventure, or bigger? Would I change because of it, and if so, would I ever return to my own familiar world? I prefer to have the person I am reading for shuffle the cards, as it brings them directly into the reading. When the seeker touches and chooses their cards, they tend to be far more receptive to the messages and make greater efforts to change their lives for the better. This is a more inclusive way of reading, which I personally resonate with. You may feel differently, so follow your own intuition and see what works best for you. Divination： Choosing which way to go. A moment of decision. Uncertain of what is best or what to do next. Feeling like each door is closed? 'Wanting to reach the next stage of your life but not seeing a single way through.

YOU ARE PRESENTLY experiencing a time of descent. You are in between worlds, yet to land, yet to know what will come next, yet to feel the impact of the inevitable moment when your feet touch the earth again. At present, it is natural to feel doubt, discouragement, nerves and even fear. You have leapt, now you must fall. Soon you shall land, but first comes the descent.

Reversed： Feeling you are not growing as a person or that you have stayed the same for a very long time. You may be looking at introducing some new and exciting challenges into your life to help you grow and discover more about all the wonderful selves you have within you. Why, she, of course," said the Dodo, pointing to Alice with one finger； and the whole party AT ONCE CROWDED ROUND HER, CALLING OUT, IN A CONFUSED WAY, “PRIZES! PRIZES!”

In THIS CARD, Alice takes on a rather new role - that of a leader. She did, after all, create the problem that they are all experiencing, albeit accidentally. She is the one who thinks through what has happened and tries to calm the creatures about her 一 even though that doesn't always go right. And, she is the one being who takes charge and leads them out of the pool of tears and onto land. Just as you must do right now. This card can also come to those who wish to please everyone and do not wish to fall out of favour. Thus, they will proclaim that everyone has done very well and offer prizes to each and all, to avoid the discomfort of true assessment. It is hard to have to decide, to make a choice and to know to whom a victory belongs. It is challenging to be discerning. We often prefer to be like the dodo, trying to make sure everyone is happy. Tarot in Wonderland is a fun tarot. it retains an optimistic spirit and successfully conveys that peculiar mixture of innocence, puzzlement, and sense of powerlessness that pervades childhood and makes the world around us seem like a waking Wonderland. These cards are wonderful to read for yourself and others, and love being accompanied by a pot of tea and a journal where you can write down your readings arid explore the counsel they offer to you. I always bless my cards before I begin to work with them, and create a dedication 一 letting them know what I would like to work with them for, what purpose I have in mind.What Wonderlands can you create when you allow yourself to be open to the genius all about you and invite it to come into the world through you? Ydu are imaginative. You are creative. You have that spark within you! Whatever it is you wish to do - paint, draw, sing, write, dance - do this creative, vital, brilliant life­bringing thing! Who knows what creations you can bring forth. Why not begin to discover the possibilities today? Of course, if you are reading for another person, change the questions so they refer to them, not to you. In that situation, you are the reader, no longer the reader and the seeker both.

Card 5・ The Possible Future: What could be coming up and how life may unfold. This card represents a possibility, not a prediction. The power to influence this potential future resides with the person who is being read for. Finally, there is an interpretation for reversed cards. Some people love to have this information on hand and find it very helpful. Others do not like reversals at all 一 often because they have not worked with them, or have been told or have developed a belief that reversals are automatically negative? Let us explore this, and clarify what a reversal can offer us and our readings.I HOPE YOU enjoy these oracle cards that emerged from Wonderland, inspired by the amazing adventures of the courageous, clear-headed, outspoken Alice, and all the astonishing beings she encounters both down the rabbit hole, and through the looking glass.
