Prairie Divination
Prairie Divination: oracle deck + book of essays
Prairie Divination turns to the plants, animals, and geological features of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem as a source for knowledge and inspiration as to how to live in the world (and to re-align thinking towards kinship and reciprocity). How might thinking with plants and animals guide us in navigating an uncertain present--and help to imagine futures? Filled with information for each corresponding card, the illustrated guidebook of essays offers personal guidance and affirmations based on the specific lessons that each plant, animal, and element can teach us.
40 hand-drawn cards with an accompanying 100 page, full-color collection of illustrated essays (art by L.Ann Wheeler)
Prairie Divination is a gorgeous and collaborative invitation into radical kinship and the realignment of being, and therefore, becoming. The cards and essays are full of poetic insights and educational facts on the tallgrass prairie ecosystem, and invite a coming-together of magical encounters, multi-species vantage points, and alternate sources of wisdom. “Everything is collaboration,” the book tells us, and indeed, the invitation here is to recognize the inter-being of not just humans and animals and plants, but also of land, sky, breath, action, feeling, direction, and desire. This deck will open you up in the most beautiful way, and bring you back to your own innate wisdom and intuition as well. — Janice Lee
