Product Information

Even in its tremendous gratitude for all that is – and there is much gratitude and sweet appreciation in that precious heart of yours – there is a murmuring, a questing. It cries out to heaven. Vouchsafe me blessing! I cannot go on! I am broken and in need of your tenderness for healing! I am empty and in need of filling, not with stuff and bits but with the most precious nectar of divine for fulfilment! Nothing else will satisfy me. Please, please restore me to wholeness! I can bear this missing piece, this broken disarray, no longer! I listen and I cajole that wise heart of yours. I praise it for its honesty and longing, for the longing is an irresistible perfume to the beloved, attracting the only slave that will suit the divine discontent of your truce-speaking heart – that of divine presents, absolute and unquestionable. Again, there are no set rules regarding how you should or shouldn’t shuffle your cards before your initial use. The best way to shuffle your cards for the first time is whichever movement strengthens your connection to them, which you can build by touching them often. The Rumi Oracle Cards can be used with specific spreads or layouts, but the interpretation is also highly intuitive. The cards themselves are designed to be used as a tool for personal insight and guidance, and can be used in a variety of ways depending on the individual's preferences and needs. I have loved Rumi for a long, long time 一 long before I had any idea of who he was in human terms. To be perfectly honest with you, he is still very much a mystery to me in terms of his human self Yet, at a soul level, he is known to me so well, and I to him. From the first moment I read his poems, many, many years ago, I felt as though he was speaking a sacred language that I could understand with my heart rather than my mind. It was at times intoxicating, but at other times quite confounding! I could feel but not always mentally understand what he was getting at. 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.

Interpret the message: Once you have chosen a card, take a moment to look at the image and read the message or description that comes with it. Reflect on how the card's symbolism and message resonate with your intentions or question. Rumi's poetry is famous for its deep spiritual and philosophical themes, exploring concepts such as love, enlightenment, and the journey of the soul. The Rumi Oracle Cards draw on these themes to provide guidance and inspiration to those who use them. Each card features a different quote from Rumi's poetry and is accompanied by a detailed guidebook, which explains the meaning behind each card and offers suggestions for interpretation. Like with tarot cards, the power of the intel you receive will depend on how good the question is. That's why Campbell recommends first getting really clear on what, specifically, you want to receive guidance on and form a question around it. Remember those clear questions mentioned above? Now’s the time to ask them. 3. Give your oracle cards a good shuffleSome months after that meditation, I had gone through a huge process on my own spiritual path which I wrote about in Crystal Goddesses 888.1 had reached a point where I felt the need to empty out' my publishing schedule. My publisher was amazingly supportive and trusting of my intuitive instincts on such matters, and happily agreed to cross projects off my list and simply be open to divine guidance on what would be best to attend to next. 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. mind couldnt make heads or tails of the experience because it made no logical sense, but the reality of it was sensational! Just recalling it now is making my twirly, curly hair even twirlier and curlier, with luscious jolts of energy shimmering up and out of the crown of my head in ecstatic flow!

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. Seated inside the box are two cardboard template guides (to keep the cards in place). Whilst these seem a useful idea, they are removable thus move about which can be a little irritating for those wishing to store their cards in the box.One popular spread for the Rumi Oracle Cards is the three-card spread, which involves drawing three cards and placing them in a row. The first card represents the past, the second card represents the present, and the third card represents the future. This spread can provide insight into past experiences, present circumstances, and future possibilities. So as you can imagine, when I came across the Rumi Oracle: An invitation to the heart of the Divine I was pretty excited. Just like tarot, there isn’t one set rule for how often to use your oracle cards. You could do a daily pull or even pull one card just as you might with a one card tarot pull, or you could do a weekly or monthly pull. You can also access them in any moment of duress, uncertainty, or curiosity. In short, the answer to how often to use your cards is as often as you want or need.

The process of working with the Rumi Oracle Cards can be transformative in itself. By regularly drawing a card and reflecting on its message, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their life's purpose. The cards can serve as a mirror, revealing hidden aspects of one's personality and guiding individuals towards personal growth and healing. How you deal with this grace, hidden though it may at first appear to be under the cloak of crisis, is up to you. You have enough spiritual intelligence to shift perspective and to choose, if you wish, to rest your inner gaze upon what lies beyond the death. Gaze instead upon the new life that is calling you. When you know deep within that, no matter what experiences you have had in your life, you are untainted, you will be more easily able to trust the love the Divine has for you. You won't question your worthiness and therefore you will trust in life more easily and more fully, no matter how much it asks of you at times. The Divine is a relentless lover. It wants nothing less that your total being to be held in its embrace. Sometimes that means we will have to give up lesser loves for the greater lover, the divine one that calls us to remember our true nature. The meaning behind the Rumi Oracle Cards is not fixed or rigid. Instead, it is open to interpretation and personal reflection. The cards are not meant to predict the future or provide definitive answers, but rather to serve as a tool for self-reflection and inner exploration. When using the Rumi Oracle Cards, individuals are encouraged to trust their own intuition and allow the cards to guide them towards greater self-awareness and understanding. 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.”The Rumi Oracle Cards are a powerful tool for guidance and self-reflection. Inspired by the teachings of the 13th-century Persian poet, philosopher, and mystic Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, also known as Rumi, these cards offer profound insights and wisdom to help navigate life's challenges and cultivate a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. This oracle comes with special guidance for you. You are, or soon will be, seeing with greater clarity and insight, a situation that has been obscured to you in the past. You may be startled by what you perceive, so much so, that you second-guess yourself or chalk it up to wild imagination on your part. You are asked to trust in your perceptions that when they come for the heart – although what you perceive may be darkness – there will be no judgment in it. See what is truthfully there; be in the compassionate nature of your heart, and you shall also be shown the most graceful way to become clear and free of darkness, either within yourself or within others and the world around you.”
