Oracle of the Dreamtime is a beautiful book and card divination set based on Aboriginal spirtual beliefs - the Dreaming stories - that have been passed around camp fires for thousands of years. There is much that this old wisdom can still teach us about how to live our lives today, and here the Dreamings are presented as a tolls for self-exploration and inspiration, in a form accessible to all. According to the dreamings, animals plants and creatures of the land are the Aboriginal ancestors, brothers and sisters, mothers or fathers. They are called, kobong, or totems, and are never to be harmed. In return, they give protection, connect us to the spiritual, and guide us during difficult moments. Donni Hakanson?s insight into Aboriginal culture, together with the stunning and authentic dreaming card illustrations, combine to help us find the answers that lie within ourselves.

The best divination system that I have seen!
17 Jun 1999
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This beautiful deck consists of 45 round shaped cards and a beautiful book which explains each card and how to use the oracle. I really think that this divination system is better than the traditional tarot because each card refers to an acient australian aboriginal legend which you can relate to your personal life and drawn insightful conclusions. Of course, in the book you find the explanation of each card which consist of a narration of the legen plus an interpretation and of it.
Finally a very useful thing about this deck, its that it is round-shaped (each card has a dot at 12 o'clock position indicating its upward position). This not only gives rises to the traditional upward/downward interpretations but opens a new world of posibilities since each card can be pointing towards another card giving new insights in your readings.
I am really amazed at the readings you get from this oracle, go for it! you will not be disappointed!

Finally a TRUE Australian Oracle
1 Sep 2004

Format:Paperback
I live in Australia and it's a true delight to have such genuine native Aussie cards! I love Koori paintings and these are done very well. The cards have several pages each in the comprehensive book, which also includes several spreads (including the Southern Cross) and a list of Australian Bush Flower Essences (very handy!). Each card had a Dreamtime story about the animal involved, and each is verified and origin listed. There is also a Glossary if you don't understand the terms used.
These are a beautiful set of cards. I love the round shape which is so unique. As a professional card reader and clairvoyant I attuned the cards and did a reading upon myself just after recieving them and found them highly accurate! Even my 14 yr old daughter could read them and she's never done it before.
Highly Recommended!

Amazing

I am in love with this book and divination system. The beautifully drawn round cards afford the readings personalized complexity and shades of meaning. Without needing any tarot training or psychic ability, you can really "read" a lot into your cards. Also, a nice touch is the appendix with guide to specific flower essences. All around, it's elegant, well thought out and beautifully done.
