Card Deck of the sidhe

In 2011, both David Spangler and Jeremy Berg experienced their own individual contact with a group of Sidhe interested in promoting closer collaboration with humanity. This deck emerged in order to create a portal that could enable a connection with the Sidhe, as they seek to have a greater partnership with humanity. This beautifully illustrated Card Deck of the Sidhe is composed of both the original and extension decks comprising 55 full color, poker sized cards which come in a fabric carrying pouch. It includes an illustrated manual describing the meditative and oracular uses of the deck. Text by David Spangler and artwork by Jeremy Berg.

Excerpt

USING THE CARDS FOR MEDITATION AND ATTUNEMENT

When the Sidhe made contact with me [David Spangler] about creating this deck of cards, the original purpose wasn’t to fashion an oracular tool. That purpose developed later as the deck evolved. After all, any set of images can trigger a person’s intuition, giving access to subconscious wisdom and perceptions. The initial impression I had of the deck’s purpose had to do with facilitating contact with the Sidhe for purposes of inspiration, connection and inner healing. Stone circles are often places of power where the veil between the worlds is thinned and links can be made with the realms of Faerie. They can function like “interdimensional portals,” lifting our consciousnesses through attunement and resonance to a state where contact with the realms of Faerie is possible. By replicating such a Stone Circle in the cards, the hope was that the deck could create in the imagination and spiritual f ield of the user a kind of “virtual Stonehenge,” an inner place that could resonate with the power inherent in such stone circles around the world and thereby also create a link with the subtle realms of Faerie. Behind this was the desire on the part of the Sidhe to cultivate a renewed sense of their presence and existence as modern, relevant partners in the task of healing the earth and to foster reconciliation and collaboration between human beings and themselves. The card deck was seen as a way of concretizing in an imaginal way within our world a virtual portal to their own realm through which their energy might reach and connect with ours.
