Imbolc is associated with patience, hope, transitions, and beginning the ascent back to the light after the darkness of the winter months, this is the perfect season to represent the self. It's a time when the harshness of a spiritually dark cycle may bring up feelings of vulnerability or confusion about your next steps, or when you need some encouragement to keep going. This sabbat is also the most suited for solitary spiritual work, where you turn inward and focus on your own hopes and dreams. This is a beautifully designed book and card deck set. Each of the 44 cards in this oracle deck is a seed of spiritual guidance - inspired by ancient Imbolc traditions - to find answers to your most profound questions. The messages give the user a glimpse of the card's inner meaning, making this oracle an excellent way for beginners to developing their own intuitive reading skills.
