Lovely walkthrough, thank you. I'm excited to say I've ordered this deck now, yay :-)
I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your thoughts about this deck! If you had done any readings with combined decks (this one and Mystical Shaman Oracle), please share your experience about it. I will be ordering one from Hay House.
The Root child is one of my favourite cards in the deck.. 😊
Thank you for a great presentation. I really enjoyed your reading from the book meaning suggestions of the cards. I would read the definitions to spark further intuition and the powerful energy in the cards which I think is what occurred, with you, while reading them. You have great energy and the palm of your left hand appears to show very eventful life experiences, with profound depths of seeking within yourself and the universe not but not, as with all human existence without pain, but also perspective of ever present miracles. ✨
Wow, thank you so much for those insights!
Thank you so much for an awesome overview of this deck, I have order mine and have been eagerly awaiting their arrival which should be this week. I was drawn to this deck when I first seen it and had it on pre-order since the 1st of March so again thank you and I can't wait to play with mine. Cheers Mel.
So glad you enjoyed the review! I had been eyeing it for months!
I am looking forward to getting my hands on this deck. I also had a hard time connecting with The Mystical Shaman Oracle deck, so what I decided to do was buy a few books on Shamanism. After reading a couple of books and understanding some of the archetypes used in the deck, I was able to understand more in depth the purpose of the deck as well as the guidebook. For example, I really could not wrap my head around Lower, Middle, and Upper world until I had a grasp of Andean/Shamanistic Cosmology.
I'm glad you were able to connect with it eventually. I am most drawn by the artwork of it more than anything else. But even armed with some of the knowledge you listed, I still had problems connecting with it in a meaningful way. I'm looking forward to what this new deck may bring now.
@@gaiuswongtarot8448 Oh, I am sorry that you weren't able to connect with it. Sometimes it's not the right season. Returned from B&N an hour ago, and I can't wait to dive into this new Dream oracle.
Ohhhhh thank you, thank you thank you. Your video and this oracle are beautiful :)
You are so welcome! I hope you can get one for yourself!
@@gaiuswongtarot8448 I ordered it 😃🙏💛 I feel his beautiful power ✨ have a nice day ✨
I really like this deck and prefer to read it intuitively. Some of the cards do have border/printing issues. Not sure if just mine or everyones.
Mine doesn't seem to have that problem.
It doesn't seem particularly shamanic to me. Rather more fanciful and faerie-like. Does the guidebook say anything about how exactly it's a "shaman's dream" oracle?
I've heard the card stock is markedly inferior to the Mystical Shaman Oracle. Is it?
I'm dubious.
I describe that in the video, about the paper stock after the walk through of all the cards and I shuffle them for you. It's not as thick. But do you buy an oracle deck because of the paper? They shuffle well, and that's the important thing to me. I feel like paper is only a problem if you can't shuffle them.
Alberto Villoldo is a shaman. Dreams are an important concept and tool in shamanic work, philosophy, and religion. And this deck explores archetypes of the shamanic dream world.
@@gaiuswongtarot8448 LOL some people do. Or it's a dealbreaker for them.
Wow, it looks like the book is not NEARLY as thorough as the predecessor. And okay, that booklet wasn't even a booklet, it was like a full-blown book. They went above-and-beyond with that one. However, am I right in saying there are no meanings for reversals? That is EXTREMELY disappointing.
Although the book from the previous deck is larger in format, I would say that the amount of text per card is similar, about 2/3 as much. Although the previous deck has three sections per card: The Essence, The Invitation, and The Medicine, and the new deck only has one body of text.
As for the reversals, neither deck offers different meanings for reversals. However, when I read tarot, for instance, I just use my own universal system for reversals: I look at them as blocked energy. So blocked energy could mean that something will be tougher, will take longer, etc., or in some cases, it could mean the opposite, though not usually. Having a philosophy around reversals will make it easy when you have a lot of decks you work with. Although, personally, I do not use reversals with oracle decks like this, I only use them with tarot.
@@gaiuswongtarot8448 isn't The Medicine the meaning for the reversal in that deck?
@@thespiritmessage I just checked the book and you're right... the book mentions that in the intro. That's not they way I use them, however. I know tarot readers who use the expression "the medicine with this card is..." with tarot cards. I feel like those meanings like medicine and the opposite are always present in cards. Like one of the phrases I use when I read is that every card has a light side and a dark side. (Regardless of its orientation.) So I supposed I wasn't using them "by the book" in that respect.
