Animal Dreaming Oracle cards - Toni Carmine Salerno website
Yay!! I was gifted with this deck today, after waiting for its release, it finally arrived in the store!
I couldnt wait so Ive already done a reading with them in the SOUL Exchange
The cards are depicted with beautifully illustrated Australian Animals and Birds such as the Wombat, The Tasmanian Devil, Lyrebird, Oystercatcher, Dingo, Wallaby, Kookaburra, Emu, Bilby and Cockatoo.
Each card has an elemental symbol representing either Air - East, Fire - North, Earth - South or Water - West. There are 11 cards placed under each element, (Air has an additional - 0 ~ Eagle) and 45 cards in total.
There are Four Spreads included in the Book - The Power Animal Spread, The Totem Spread, The Mother Earth ~ Grandmother Moon, and Grandfather Sun Spread, and the Clarity Spread.
From the back of the Guidebook it says ...Scott Alexander King is a teacher, animal psychic and zoomancer..... He is the author of Animal Dreaming and Animal Messanger.... he also has a CD "Meet your Totem Animal" that guides the listener to a place where they inevitably meet their totem or power animal!

This is the type of deck I can take with me when bushwalking in the Blue Mountains. I have come across many of these creature whilst treaking the trails ... Lyrebirds and Cockatoos seem fairly abundant in the National Park, there are also Grey Kangeroos and Wallabys of assorted (and spectacular) colours. There are Eagles and Hawks, Bats and Owls, Lizzards and Water Dragons, Red Bellied Black snakes, Spiders and Magpies ... though no Tasmanian Devils! (thankgoodness - these are the little creatures whose voice was used for the Nazguls screeching in Lord of the Rings!! )
I had a good read of the Guidebook and a look through the deck - its lovely indeed, and gives a good reading! Its the type of deck which can be used as a personal tool of guidance during Path Walking and Transformation - as well as being easily interpreted if you're doing a reading for someone else. It has a gentle energy about it - and for me, prompted much in the way of intuitive insight ...
For anyone who is not familiar with the Animals of Australia, or the Aboriginal Dreamtime, it would also be an interesting journey in itself, to search out further information on these subjects, and add to the interpretations as well.
This is a great combination of talent, and a beautifully presented deck ... its been well worth the wait!!
