Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Calendini wrote and illustrated the \u201cSpirit Animal Oracle\u201d to help readers reconnect with these wise, benevolent guides.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 48-card deck and its <\/span><\/span>accompanying 128-page guidebook, published in September 2020, began as an app with \u201cIndie Goes Oracle Cards\u201d four years ago.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for the deck came to him during his shamanic experiences in Peru.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the animals came to me to show me their energies and how we can use them in our daily life,\u201d Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>explains in a video on his website<\/a> introducing the deck. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was shown the diverse talents, powers and energies of animals during deep meditations and dreams. These powerful spirits can be called on for inspiration and guidance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The guidebook begins by explaining on how to use the deck and suggests a few spreads. Two pages are dedicated to each animal. On the left is a black-and-white picture of the card looking much like X-rays or negatives, and on the right is its description and a simple message for direct guidance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While each description focuses on a collection of characteristics, it\u2019s a starting point \u2013 interpretation and expansion can lead to related concepts. An appendix at the back of the guidebook gives a quick reference to help open to additional messages. For instance, the card I pulled to represent the focus of my reading was gorilla with the key word family. The additional attributes were connection, gentility, reassurance, relationship and sanctuary.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The reading I did for myself spoke of freedom, rest, paying more attention to dreams, deep transformation, acceptance, joy, and not trying to explain everything. All are relevant to my situation. I was pleased because I relate to another animal oracle deck that did not give the same meanings for any of the animals I cross-referenced.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The card stock is sturdy, but at 3.75 inches by 5.5 inches I found them a bit difficult for my small hands to shuffle. The large size, however, makes for a large focal point for reflection and meditation. Vibrant colors and white circles for eyes give the impression of the animal as a spirit. The eye of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric\u2019s beloved cat is on the back of the cards.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s apparent much love and care went into creating this deck.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The app allowing access<\/a> to this deck and dozens more can be tried for free for seven days.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
