Mayan Oracle

The Mayan calendar is based on vast 26,000 year cycles. We are currently at the end of one of these cycles with the next predicted to begin in the year 2012. Ariel Silsbury and Michael Bryner designed the Mayan Oracle to help people tap into the powerful archetypal energies available at this time for personal and global change. The Mayan Oracle includes three groups of cards: twenty Mayan star-glyphs, thirteen numbers and eleven lenses of mystery. The star-glyph cards are the heart of the deck. Each one represents a sacred code or different "face of the Creator." The star-glyphs and number cards together correspond to the Tzolkin, or sacred round of the Mayan calendar. This set comes with The Mayan Oracle: Return Path to the Stars (336 pages). Spilsbury and Bryner present the energy of each glyph through a poem (right-brain), practical discussion (left-brain) conceptual overview and musical resonance.

Spiritual guidance from the Mayan Calendar
This Mayan Oracle comes in a quality box with a thick in depth book and a pack of large cards, one card is even metallic gold and one is silver. The artwork is very unusual and features the Mayan calendar glyphs, then some Mayan numeric cards and another group of cards which add more again to the readings. The artwork is symbolic and full of colour, its nothing like any other deck I have seen. Do not expect a typical oracle reading either. The cards offer guidance but it is focused on spiritual issues not mundane everyday stuff.

The most unique aspect of these Mayan Oracle cards was the `shadow' aspect of the glyphs. This lets you look at what might be holding you back or any old patterns your still holding on to. This is very useful information and you will be offered guidance on how to step back into the light. I have found the guidance to be very accurate and more detailed than other systems. Anyone who has felt drawn to the Maya or Mayan astrology should try it. It makes a good tool for yourself especially if your other cards seem to lack depth and detail in their advice. I would not recommend it to people who are not already familiar with spiritual topics and lifestyle.

Inspirational map to connect us to the rest of the universe
The Mayan Oracle reminds us humans of where we are from and tells us how to get back. It is a guide to establishing multidimensional consciousness while remaining grounded on planet Earth. It helps to loosen the grid work of fear-based 'reality' and allows real magic to come back into our lives. The Mayan Oracle cards are beautifully done and a joy to work with. The energies represented by the cards are very real and have assisted me enormously in my journey of awakening. I believe every seeker can benefit enormously from interacting with the wisdom of the timekeepers - the Mayans. Love and peace, Lotus
