The Celtic Book of the Dead is a 42-card oracle based on the ancient Irish story of the Voyage of Maelduin, given here in a new translation by Caitl? Matthews. The locations of Maelduin’s voyage form the route toward the Blessed Isles that lie west of Ireland; for him, and for the reader, each island reveals the wonders and challenges as he sails nearer to the heart of the Celtic Otherworld.
- As with the Egyptian Book of the Dead, this oracle gives the soul opportunities to purify, clarify, and refocus.
- Filled with wonders, terrors, and transformational experiences, each island represents a staging post on the reader’s own voyage to self-discovery.
- As the islands reveal gifts that can be resources for the human condition, so too, solutions and strategies for unknotting life’s tangles may be found.
- The cards have three uses: to divine the path ahead as a guide to the soul’s direction, as a way of meditation for personal and environmental healing, and as a Book of the Dead for the dying.
This oracle offers a grown-up method of divination and meditation, based on an ancient northwestern European tradition.
