Regarding the posts by others about The Book of Ordinary Oracles - I got this during the Discount New Age Books $1.00 sale...WOW is it a great book! The Pendulum section is PRICELESS!
It is great because it has a little bit of everything in it...but mostly it shows how it all comes from YOU, so the book becomes more of an example of how you can read with anything - even stuff not in the book.

Creating an oracle is such a fulfilling experience--whatever symbol system you use will grow organically as you add images--and I would say be generous with the images--so many oracle decks/systems come with so few cards (not that cards is the only way to go...) Also--the photographic tree oracle sounds facinating--and do use photographs of dark and gloomy days. On my way to my daughter's ballet class we pass by a field with an ancient beech tree--the bark is all strippey and white in places--well we've had some severe rains and today, the tree was ghostly white with an overcast sky. The field was flooded but the tree stood on a small island with water all around it--what a great image! Please post pics when you have them! XXXXXNat
That beech sounds cool, gravenimages! Thanks for your comments! I really love trees, especially really old ones. I am hoping to get some great sky images too. I managed to get a picture of a
blue spruce that is in my front yard during a snow this winter so I am hoping that I can use it also...but I'll have to see how creating my own "localized" ogham works out.
