THE ORACLE OF THE INNOCENT HEART is about simple things; the simple things a child will ponder and question for hours, but that an adult may consider for a second and then dismiss as unimportant or trivial. It is an Oracle that asks the adult mind to journey within to seek the advice and solace of the inner child. It asks the mental, relentlessly processing adult mind to be still, to be silent, kind and peaceful like that of a child's. To be gentle, to remember, to dream and to listen again to stories that encourage the stagnant mind to wake up, to dare and wonder, to embark on adventures and to rescue princesses from towers and treasure from dragon-filled caves. It is about reigniting creativity, reawakening the inquisitive spirit and nurturing the generous heart; all the things the adult mind once did when it was young, but has now forgotten to do. In short, this is an Oracle for those seeking magic and beauty, permission to heal and the will to grow; not to grow 'up' mind you, but 'back' – back to the Land of Possibility. An Oracle that will transport you back through the years of lost innocence to reclaim a gentle beauty that once lovingly guided your heart and inspired your soul. 45 full col cards & 176pp book
