Primordial Heart: Virtual Oracle Deck
Card 1: Creation
Description: The Ancient of Days by William Blake shows the Creator crouching in radiant circle and clouds, holding a compass to the earth.
Light: Tune into the primal, creative force that rises up within. The power of Shakti and Kundalini give birth to new visions and new life. As a creator together with the divine, you can bring order to chaos and bring all that is in your heart and mind into reality. Take time to dream and visualize what you want to create in art or life. Set up a structure and order to fill with light and love.
Shadow: Be sure to work with the divine flow and not against it. Rather than rushing ahead before the time is ripe or refusing open doors of possibility, be in step with the divine appointments and arrangements. Do not be overly rigid nor overly formless and void.

Card 2: Tree of Life
Description: The Tree of Life is a 1905 painting by Gustav Klimt, one colorful version of a symbol shared by many cultures: the World Tree of the Norse, the Bodhi tree of Buddha, and the tree of life and healing found in Genesis and Revelation.
Light: The Tree of Life provides a connection between heaven and earth, fruit that gives eternal life, and leaves that bring healing. The tree represents a place of enlightenment and understanding, offering communication and communion with the divine. Let this tree be your true goal rather than the fleeting fruit of riches, success, or worldly fame. Choose life!
Shadow: One black bird, a common symbol of death, near the center of the mystic swirls of branches may remind us that spiritual as well as physical life may require sacrifice and that endings always precede renewal and fresh beginnings.

Card 4: The High Priest
Description: The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek by Dieric Bouts the Elder (1464-1467) shows the high priest accepting offerings and giving bread and wine to Abraham as he returns victorious from battle.
Light: By spending time in solitude and meditation, we can be representatives of the divine, offering connection and communion to others. The altars we build, the sacred space we create, or the ritual food and drink we offer provides holy rest. We do not live by bread alone but by communication with what is Most High.
Shadow: We can become proud of our spiritual progress or we can become rigid and legalistic in our practices. In serving others, we should not forget that we, too, need spiritual rest and renewal.
