The Ancestral Oracle of the Celts

More about the book

Created by renowned Celtic and shamanic expert Caitlín Matthews, this unique oracle connects users to their ancestors through the archetypes of the Celtic world, providing guidance and insight. Matthews’ wisdom, rooted in a lifelong dedication to spiritual and ancestral paths, helps individuals discover their truths grounded in both tribal and personal ancestry. The oracle includes an 88-page guidebook and 40 beautifully illustrated cards by Wil Kinghan. The cards are divided into two sets: 1. Divine Ancestor, featuring eight cards that represent the matriarch (goddess) and patriarch (god) archetypes from which everyone descends; 2. Clan, comprising 32 cards that embody the collective wisdom of Common Ancestors, categorized into Truth, Honour, Sovereignty, and Wisdom, reflecting various aspects of Celtic society (farmers, warriors, nobles, and artists/craftspeople). Users can draw a single card for immediate guidance or perform spreads of three to eight cards for deeper insights, as detailed in the guidebook. The Clan Cards assist in decision-making and navigating challenges, while the Divine Ancestors prompt reflection on personal attitudes and deeper motives. This oracle is also ideal for addressing family or social issues, including those inherited from recent ancestors or arising in contemporary contexts.
