Rumi's Gift Oracle Cards

Product Information

In my personal journey, I learned to relate to different faces of the Divine as I grew 一 the gentle face of the Divine, the wild face, the powerful face and more. As I became able to accept more of my own self and of life unconditionally, I would meet and connect meaningfully with more and more aspects of divinity.

Just as it is challenging to paint a sunset based on someone else’s description, it is difficult to depict layers of meaning in Rumi’s work. I a.m calling to you. Can you hear me? Listen. Witbin your heart, there I speak; my voice rings true. You are urged beyond what has been. The time has come. Lay it to rest now. This ending comes as grace to free you from all that you have known, for what you have known is now too smallfor your soul. Bear your uncertainty with equanimity. lam certain enough for both of us. Allow me to show you the light that you are, that burns within you, blazing angel of heavenly purity. I will unveil you to yourself. Undressing your ego, casting aside its layers, as tender as a lover, with unwavering attention upon the sacred body of light. You shall know yourself in truth. As pure, beyond all experience, untainted, ever innocent. As a pure vessel, stripped bare, ready for the divine revelation. As light. As life. As love. which contained seventy art images and poems. My publisher said he would send me his copy of the book and that I could write the messages from that.

The poem cards contain some of the most poignant verses in English and Farsi, adding another means of venturing into the enchanting forest of the psyche. The commentary booklet features more verses, historical and cultural context, as well as stories and insights that help go deeper into the meaning of each poem. Some stories are from Masnavi, Rumi’s six-volume book of poetry, and others come from centuries-old Persian fables. The book also includes the section Poem In Action allowing further reflection, contemplation and action. If you do not have a question, or prefer to simply be open, then say: "I ask for guidance which will serve me best now. Help me to see and understand through the eye of my own heart. Thank you.” I was reciting Rumi’s poetry even before I could read or write. But when did my relationship with Rumi begin? To answer this, I first have to delve into the relationship Persians have with poetry. You see, I come from a culture in which poetry is as much a part of a person as her very heartbeat. Poems are used in celebration, in welcoming sorrow and despair and even in resolving conflicts.

When I was in Istanbul, I was fortunate enough to witness a demonstration by Whirling Dervishes. It was beautiful, and I had the sense of following their spiral movements from outside to inside. This reading layout is suggested so that you may do the same: journey from the appearance of an issue into its core or heart. You can imagine it starting at the surface and spiralling deeper to the core. The deeper we can go into the heart of an issue - even if that seems rather removed from the surface appearance of the matter at hand 一 the more likely we are to shift and heal it, finding some kind of enduring resolution and release. This layout is for a deep inner exploration and healing. I had played with the idea of writing a Rumi oracle for some time, but not being a translator of his poetry, and not having yet found the right artwork for it, I was uncertain about how to proceed. Apart from those practical matters, deep within my heart I felt so much reverence for this being - as I do for all the holy ones in their various guises. I also held some moments of uncertainty about whether I was up to the task of delivering something that would truly honour his legacy. Rumi means so much to me; I wanted to be sure I was the right one for this task! Repeat the process above but simply say: "I ask for the best guidance for... (the persons name) now.” Continue as above. Keeping your hands resting on your heart, at the centre of your chest, simply breathe in and out, gently and easily. Focus on the feeling of your hands on your chest. Do this for as long as feels good for you. You are a beautiful blazing soul having a human experience that defies explanation and opens you up to divinity. That is what is happening in your life now, whether the death is obvious and painful to you, or whether you are uncertain as to how it is as yet showing up in your life. Either way, there is an ending imminent and new life coming to you, with greater opportunity for your radiant soul to shine its beauty in the world. Grasp it eagerly, beloved. Now is not the time for fear or hesitation. Focus on what is becoming, whilst honouring what is no longer to be.I have had some deep challenges in my life, which I speak about in my books, but I have also been given many gifts. Although I was raised as a Catholic, by the time I left high school I was no longer interested in following a religious path, and I chose to explore spiritual paths and leave my previous religious affiliations behind me. I had always been interested in the beauty and diversity of a wide Rumi not only understood the power of poetry, but also found the sweet spot of language somewhere between the clinical sterility of political correctness and the vulgarity of fanaticism. He brought the traditional masculine God from the sky and passionately embraced it as his genderless Beloved. He and others like him closed the gap between us and the divine until the Beloved was inside our beating heart. With that, they forever changed the language, making it sensual and transforming the image of a rigid God of fire and brimstone into the story of bittersweet longing and union. I had to mature as a woman, in my acceptance of my body and my sensuality and sexuality as a natural part of my greater spiritual life journey, before I could relate to Rumi personally, and 'remember' him again. During that development phase of my life journey as a Do not plague your heart with falsehoods and expectations of some disembodied perfection! The perfection of your heart is that is loves still, even if you try to stop it with some notion of self-protection from future hurt through doubt or fear – still it loves. It is perfection that it hopes even after despair, that it holds compassion even after experiences of fear. So then, what is there left to do but breathe the grandest sigh of relief and allow yourself the essential luxury of peace within? So then, everything is all right – even if at some moments it seems not to be, still, your heart beats in honour of life. The heart can be nurtured and coaxed into gentle acceptance of all that is and the divine sight will become available to you. You may do these simple readings with one to three cards. If you want to go much deeper, you can do the following suggested layout.

it had dropped from Rumis graceful hand into my heart, much the same way when my publisher offered for me to write the Journey of Love Oracle. I just felt I had to do it. I didnt have a particular reason for feeling that way, but my heart moved when he offered the job to me. Turns out it was me feeling Rumi before I recognised it was him, that this was the pathway for this offering to be born and come to you from my heart dedication to Rumi, in service to the truth of your own soul, beloved. Sacred Honouring Ritual: “Place your hands on your heart and say the following aloud: ‘I love you. You are strong, brave and powerful. You are gentle, vulnerable and inspired. You are truth. You are insight. You are wisdom. You are life! I love you and you are safe. You are the Divine made flesh. You, my precious heart, my precious connection to life, I adore you. Thank you for loving. Let us open the inner window, let the stale emotion out, and breathe in fresh life now, for you are to be well and thrive according to love’s grace and wisdom. I trust in what you know and what you see. In compassion, I honour all perceptions of truth. So be it.” In time, as my own spiritual journey deepened, I came to understand his words. They echoed my own experiences of the Divine in its eroticism and mystery. I came to feel a closeness to Rumi; a genuine intimacy that surprised me with its intensity and familiarity. I had the sense of remembering someone I knew absolutely and deeply, yet had somehow forgotten about for a while. Somewhat abruptly, triggered through life circumstances, I suddenly just reconnected with an old, old soul friend. Then immediately, it was as though we had never been separated from each other; so deep was our connection that parting was not even possible. It felt somehow very natural and rather strange too.Do you yearn to find your way? To fulfil your divine destiny
