“We travel through the endless corridors of our mind until one day we find a pathway that leads us to our heart.” Quote from the Guidebook.
There are forty five powerful images in this deck and a majority of the images depict the feminine spirit and images from nature.
The Gaia Oracle is designed to guide, transform and provide affirmations. This deck is well-balanced between soul searching, heart-felt and inspiring uplifting messages. Toni is a self-taught artist and expresses his love for Mother Earth, Goddess of the Earth and Nature through his painted artwork.
This particular deck was completed through a mixture of artist water color pencil and watercolor on textured watercolor paper. A majority of the cards were complete within a six month time frame. The works were not designed to fit in the deck, Toni chose from his body of work to create this deck.
The deck has non-reversible backs, narrow earth tone borders. The deck is larger than standard, measuring 5 ½ inches tall by 3 ¾ inches wide. The cards are covered with a heavy laminate and are quite stiff. Each card is numbered, titled and contains keywords.
The Guidebook contains pictures, an interpretation and an affirmation for each card, as well as Toni’s description of how Oracles work, how to use the cards and five different spreads.
