Why?  Because I get to talk about \u201cThe Sacred World Oracle\u201d which was created by Kris Waldherr.  That name may sound familiar to long time Buffet readers because <a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/2010\/10\/07\/we-are-not-amused-actually-we-are\/\"target=\"_blank\">back in 2010 I reviewed Waldherr\u2019s fantastic \u201cDoomed Queens\u201d playing cards deck and the \u201cAsk the Queens Advice Deck\u201d.<\/a>  Both were so beautiful, intelligent, and whimsical that when I saw \u201cThe Sacred World Oracle\u201d I was eager to dive in.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9653\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Butterfly.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Butterfly-232x300.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Butterfly-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Butterfly.png 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butterfly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most of the art was adapted from Waldherr\u2019s various books, particularly \u201cSacred Animals\u201d and the accompanying calendar.  The art of \u201cThe Sacred World Oracle\u201d is beautiful and creates a magical landscape.

Within each quadrant you\u2019ll find animals (real, mythological, and folkloric).  The included book provides you with meanings for these creatures.  The book also includes a few spreads to try out.  Of course my favorite thing is to draw a single card each morning and then see if the day lines up with the intentions set forth by the card.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9655\" style=\"width: 229px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Elephant.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Elephant-229x300.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Elephant-229x300.png 229w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Elephant.png 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elephant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However you decide to use them, you should get \u201cThe Sacred World Oracle\u201d and give them a try.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9656\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Salmon.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Salmon-233x300.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Salmon-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sacred-World-Salmon.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salmon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>  I apparently misunderstood the about the art and text section of the booklet provided with the deck.
