French born female author Megali writes: We belong to a symphony of life - a greater unity. There is no absolute truth - but this shamanic oracle helps your alignment, your discernment, and connects you to your inner awareness and truth. You are the healer of your wounds, and the master of your life. 

Sample card reading: Prayer - I Spread Peace. Prayer connects our soul to the divine and creates a protective space where an intimate dialogue can be established between us and the infinite. This exchange reveals our authentic and most vulnerable truths. Through prayer, we ask and we receive. We speak and hear. In this deep connection, we can unload our burdens. This is time for contemplation. We close our eyes and are completely ourselves with benevolence and sincerity in mind. We slowly listen to the needs of our soul, we think of a loved one, or of humanity. We harmonise with the divine, and receive its love and wisdom. We create inner power with kind thoughts and connect to our authentic selves. We can ritualise this non materialistic moment with a little candle or burning incense or drinking a glass of water. We let our love emerge and stay focussed. The painting is a prayer for the Earth and each of its inhabitants. Imagine deep centred peace in our life and visualise it spreading everywhere. Affirmation: May all the Earth be at peace.

This oracle is a mirror to help you understand to your life, and to help you remember you are part of something greater. You can choose one card, three cards, or an Elemental Spread of four cards. You can also decide yourself how many cards to choose for a personal spread. 

For each gold leaf edged card there is an image and information about the image. There is a title, and a subtitle, and number. Information on the meaning in the guidebook provides an additional 200 words. The oracle is divided into 4 suits representing the elements. The guidebook provides all the information required to get a good reading, how to connect to each card, shuffle, how to set your intention and question. There are no good or bad cards, if you get a reversed card, it offers even greater assistance with the question.

Paintings by Peruvian Amazon born Luis Tamani are described as an ode to nature, a tribute, a gratitude and a connection to all living beings. Highly coloured cards with indigenous human and wild animal images, with feathers and plants, etc. Now both Illustrator and author live in Costa Rica. 

Those walking a spiritual path are honouring of the natural world and want to protect and conserve the wild places, such as the Amazon, its trees, flowers, and all animals. This is a deck of great wisdom and beauty and is recommended as readings for self or others, for beginners or experienced readers.
