The Amazonian Angel Oracle: Working with Angels, Devas, and Plant Spirits

Description

* Contains 33 vivid full-color cards, each featuring an angel, deva, or nature spirit set against an intricate background based on the life work of Pablo Amaringo * Discusses the meanings of each card's angel, deva, or plant spirit * Includes card spreads based on traditional Amazonian shamanic practices as well as guided meditations for each card to help you further explore the card's message Renowned shamanic artist Pablo Amaringo left behind countless unfinished drawings and paintings when he passed away in 2009--as well as hundreds of pages of writings on his knowledge of the mundo amazonica, the spiritual world of the Amazon. Working with these unfinished materials, Howard Charing, longtime friend and student of Amaringo, has created an oracle deck and guidebook inspired by Pablo Amaringo's visionary art and spiritual wisdom. The deck includes 33 vivid full-color cards, each featuring an angel, deva, or nature spirit set against an intricate backdrop of Amazonian jungle plants and animals, celestial bodies, ancient temples, spiritual symbols, and ayahuasca visions. Many of these angels and devas have appeared in Amaringo's paintings--part of the meaningful details that make his work unique and link it to the magic and mystery of the Amazon. The accompanying guidebook discusses the meanings of each card's angel, deva, or plant spirit and provides card spreads based on traditional shamanic practices, such as the Mesa Nortena of northern Peru. The book also includes thoughts for reflection for each card to help you connect with the shamanic spirits and angelic beings of the Amazon as well as the visionary art of Pablo Amaringo.

Howard G. Charing holds workshops internationally on shamanism as well as plant medicine retreats in the Peruvian Amazon. He is the author of The Accidental Shaman and coauthor of Plant Spirit Shamanism and The Ayahuasca Visions of Pablo Amaringo. He lives in London.
