A 36-Card Deck and Guidebook

Exploring the richness and necessity of biodiversity, this deck features the work of world-renowned artist, Angela Manno, and reveals how the loss of biodiversity is leading to the warming of our planet. She presents each threatened species in a traditionally religious form—the icon—to illustrate its true significance. The 36 full-color cards represent every category of life and convey their spiritual power. Rich with insights from geologion Thomas Berry and other ecological elders, the guidebook reveals the preciousness of each organism, specific challenges to its existence, and its effect on the greater biological community and human health. Angela provides instructions for Visio Divina, or sacred seeing, an ancient form of prayer and meditation that evokes deep intuitive knowing. Icons and Nature are “windows to the divine” and are meant to be contemplated. She also considers the challenges that keep us from living in harmony with the planet, the connections between personal and planetary well-being, and how to use the cards, both alone and in a group setting, to encourage contemplation, empathy, and meaningful action. Uniquely supported by QR codes on the back of each card, working with this deck will inspire you to protect and support biodiversity while enacting personal and planetary healing
