The elemental soulscapes deck by Susan carpenter sims
This self-published oracle deck is a celebration of the anima mundi, the soul of the world, that lives both within and all around us.
Grounded in the real and steeped in the imaginal, these cards were created in the medium of collage to integrate solid empirical facts with metaphorical insights, offering a fresh perspective on the traditional elements and their presence in ourselves and the world.
The Elemental Soulscapes deck is organized into 5 distinct suits: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Soul, each containing 10 cards, for a total of 50. Each card is a digital reproduction of an original paper-and-glue collage. The deck comes with a comprehensive guidebook and is packaged in a soft but sturdy black velvet bag, perfect for storage or travel.
This deck is for you if:
You're a Seeker of Deeper Realities and Connections: These cards are perfect for those who are avid explorers of underlying patterns and truths, both in their own psyche and in the larger world. If you're a research junkie with animistic leanings, this deck will delight you.
You Appreciate Art That Makes You Think: Each card is designed to inspire curiosity and offer new perspectives every time you work with them. The collages are a bit like visual puzzles that invite you to decode your own emotions and thoughts. Every card is a conversation started between you and your inner self, crafted to spark your imagination.
