A 33-Card Deck and Book of Winged Wisdom
Receiving the wisdom and illumination of our winged allies for personal growth
- Explores 33 bird messengers and their timeless teachings through beautiful pastel art, opening the way to encounter, reflection, and embodied practice
- Teaches how field resonance fosters a heart-centered connection with nature through mindful presence
- Illuminates the principles of coherent perception, unity consciousness, and love as the foundation for reconnecting with the living world
In an age of digital distraction and ecological disconnection, many people sense that something essential has been lost: an intimate relationship with the natural world that once shaped human awareness. With this oracle, Joris Elschot and Loes Botman invite you to recover that relationship through three interconnected practices (field sensing, nature attunement, and coherent perception), everyday tools that gradually shift how you move through the world. The author shares field stories to demonstrate these practices in action, revealing the deep presence one experiences when the boundary between observer and observed dissolves, and how to achieve this state of awareness.
At the heart of this deck are 33 birds, each encountered directly in the field by the author. Beautifully rendered in pastel chalk, each bird includes an essence message, a field reflection, an attunement question, an embodiment practice, and a universal principle. Rather than drawing on abstract symbolism, Elschot grounds every card in a real observation: a goldcrest appearing three times on a single bicycle ride, a kingfisher flashing across a village ditch, a skylark ascending in full song.
Structured spreads, intuitive card-drawing methods, and simple breathing techniques make this a complete system for nature-based contemplative practice and a lasting companion.
