Product Information

Feel– delve into the watery realms of emotion, and begin to understand why you feel and react as you do. The tarot will help you shine a light on your emotions. It will allow you to explore their depths, and embrace the beautiful and powerful awareness that your responses and reactions are a natural part of who you are, but also within your power to control and change.

The Dreams of Gaia Tarot is designed to help readers connect with their intuition and divine guidance. The 78 cards are divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit has 14 cards, making it easy to read tarot readings for yourself or others.

For example, if you are looking to gain insight into your creative side, you might choose the Temperance card in the Major Arcana. This card suggests slowing down and taking time for yourself – something that can be difficult to do when we’re constantly bombarded with demands from the outside world.

When using the Tarot for readings, it is important to keep in mind that the cards are not simply about predicting the future – they can also be used for deeper self-exploration and understanding. Grow – you are in a constant, cyclic state of growth and change. Growth and evolution are both inevitable and unavoidable, yet so many fear them, despite the fact that life itself is both a transformative and transmutative process. The tarot will help you to recognize and respond when a time of growth and change approaches, and to face it with increased confidence. You are here to live and experience life; to fear less and meet your fullest potential. Heal– there are experiences in your past that can do harm in your present because you have bound them to you by holding on to the emotions and beliefs they have fostered. These bonds are the foundation of all that limits and restricts you in the present, and prevents you from moving forward with confidence and trust. Awareness will help you heal and let go.Influence – The cards here are used to explain why we make the decisions that we do. These represent the major impacts that may influence your decision-making and may help clarify why you do certain things. Each card is a delight in itself, with sensual images and vibrant colours. For example, card XXII, Intuition, depicts a cloaked woman sitting on a golden throne. In her right hand, she cups a sphere. Inside the sphere is the cosmos. Sitting atop the sphere is an owl. In the foreground, there is a spider’s web which contains a spider and a full moon. This is the card of the unconscious mind and intuitive skills and feelings. On The Tarot’ gives some thorough information on how to use the cards, which includes; using the cards regularly, how to phrase a question, taking time to do a reading, tarot journalling, and tarot as the mirror of your life. The images feature both an idealised Pagan world, the worlds of myth and legend, the Faerie realm of mystical beings, and of course Ravynne’s famous and extraordinarily powerful dragons.

The major arcana is divided into four sub-sections: The choice card, eight cards representing the stages of life, eight cards representing the reasons for being(what we are here to achieve and why we are here), and eight cards representing influence(things that affect and impact the way that we make choices.) The Minor Arcana The guidebook can seem a little bit drawn out and repetitive for readers who prefer brief and easier to read explanations. This life is your journey of undoing, being, and becoming. Choose your path with the knowledge that all that manifests in your present is born of choices made in the past, and all that manifests in your future, is born of choices made in the present. In this way, you will create a present, and future, in harmony with your dreams and heart’s desire.Would you like to play a key role in helping Ravynne to step into the flow and create? You can do so by becoming one of her beloved Patrons. What is a patron? It is someone who holds the arts in the highest regard, who understands how important art and writing are to humanity, and who chooses to show their support and help artists and authors to create by offering financial assistance and support. A dream may represent an unresolved issue or concern that is currently influencing your life. The Tarot cards can reveal how you are coping with this issue or what you need to do to resolve it. When interpreting a dream, be open-minded and allow the cards to guide you towards insights that are specific to you. The guidebook also describes several tarot spreads. There is a one-card guide spread and a three-card union spread. More detailed spreads include the Dreamers spread which explores the subconscious and the Dreaming Tree spread that extends into the past and the future. By offering structure in the form of a major and minor arcana like that of past tarots, but combining them with bold new archetypes, symbology and meanings more suited to the present, the DREAMS OF GAIA TAROT allows for a more personal, intimate and effective system for using cards as a roadmap to navigate your life path. Embark on this extraordinary journey of undoing, of being and becoming and be inspired by the knowledge that all that manifests in your future is born of choices you make today.

The Major Arcana cards offer a glimpse into the subconscious mind, and can be used to read for general qualities such as intuition, creativity, and imagination. As you can see, it makes for an interesting approach and one that becomes easier to understand once you see the groupings. Unfortunately, Ravynne's progress has been further slowed due to her having developed cataracts that have begun to impact on her ability to see properly. She is on the hospital waiting list to have them removed, but due to COVID-19 and delays across the country with elective surgeries, she has no idea how long she will be waiting. She has, however, adapted to this new reality and is continuing to work as well as she can.The Dreams of Gaia Tarot is for those who desire unity within themselves, their relationships, and with heaven and earth. It is for those who wish to explore, and develop a keener understanding of “self,” as well as those who seek to commune with the spirit realms and the Divine. Seek– reveal the answers to the questions within. Learn who you were, who you are, and who you wish to become. The tarot will help you communicate with the Divine, and your inner self; know your conscious mind, and explore the unconscious forces – the hard-wired beliefs and patterns that influence your behaviour and choices. Knowledge is power. Self-knowledge and awareness are the keys to empowerment. Heal – there are experiences in your past that can do harm in your present because you have bound them to you by holding on to the emotions and beliefs they have fostered. These bonds are the foundation of all that limits and restricts you in the present, and prevents you from moving forward with confidence and trust. Awareness will help you heal and let go.
