Excerpt
A Message from the Artist/Author
I have created art with symbols in it for as long as I have conscious memory, seeing myself as a “translator” helping others tap into a wider spectra of consciousness. My art is a gateway to the invisible - a gateway into the path of the heart. That is why I named my deck, The Heart Path Oracle. It is the heart that calls to you over and over again; the heart that connects you to the center of Divine love and light; the heart that wants your highest and best good - always and in all ways.
As you work with the cards, you step through an opening uniting you with your higher consciousness. Allow yourself to experience the colors, shapes, and objects in the art on each card. Doing so will help you activate and align to inherent geometries of vibration that resonate and confirm your own soul-self. The symbols on the cards are your mentors and will guide you with profound insights that will help you along your path.
I have been researching animal symbolism for decades - including information from the internet, different cultures, as well as scientific research. The final messages that appear in this deck are a synthesis of that research and the clairaudient messages I receive from my soul connection to Universal love. I call the messages channeled Miraculous Messages of Love, for so they are. The particular images I have chosen for my first oracle deck are designed to be felt not just intellectually experienced. They are here to help you navigate your way around today’s issues in a most constructive and positive manner. When you choose a card you are also intuitively guided to what is most right for you at the moment. Trust that process. Know that you are held in the heart of Divine love.
Blessings from my heart to yours,
Nadine Gordon-Taylor
Sample Card Explanation, Message, and Affirmation
Card Name: Allowing Success and Good Fortune into Your Life: Part of a Greater Collective
The card you have selected is divided into three distinct sections: the lower root filled underground, the middle daytime, cloudy landscape, and the upper dark starry sky. In the center section, two beautiful and intriguing fiddlehead ferns grow out of the ground. They wrap around each other, forming spirals and the number eight. Two ladybugs have perched inside the fiddleheads. Growing just behind and connecting with these ferns are another two that form a heart shape. In the center of that heart is a bee. Two maidenhair ferns and some wildflowers flank the center fiddleheads. On each side of the heart standing on the edge of the clouds are two white wolves howling at the moon. On either side of them are two “eighty-eight” butterflies. Just below the butterflies are two smaller ones that are perched on the flowers. In the lower level is an elaborate root system. Living among these roots are four worms that are intertwined. Three ants tunnel from the surface deep into the underground.
Your Message
This card is about accepting the beauty of change and allowing yourself to enjoy the process. The symbol that supports this is the spiral. The message of the spiral is about release, growth, and evolution. Life is about progression and cycles. The process of growing from a child into an adult means the body changes; the child’s body does not die, it just gradually matures. Your DNA programs cells to change, adapt, and change again. Even as you read this, your body is transforming. What is less commonly understood is that your soul or spirit goes through this evolutional maturation process as well. You are not who you think you are, since who you are changes all the time!
There are six smaller ferns that are in the process of spiraling open. The shape of the written number six is a spiral itself. Six resonates to materialism, finances, and other earthly uncertainties. This message is about balancing material needs, such as money, with spiritual ones. Remember, money is an attitude, a belief system you hold onto. You learned about wealth and abundance, and lack of it, when you were a child. You need to allow your higher self to be in the driver’s seat and have faith that you will always have more than you need. The strong two presence in this card is associated with stability and synchronicity as well as service to some greater cause. Two is also about partnerships, cooperation, and love. It is important to know you are not alone on your journey; someone important will be joining you soon.
You are part of a greater collective that is working diligently to help you remember your soul purpose. The key is to have patience while the universe answers your prayers. It may not be obvious to you right now, but all is unfolding as planned and you will reach your goals sooner than you think. The repetition of the number eight guarantees that a higher force is guiding you to success. Wonderful things are happening now. The time is right to allow success and good fortune into your consciousness.
Affirmation: I am changing from who I thought I was to who I actually am.
