The “Celebrations of Love” oracle, by Eva M. Sakmar-Sullivan (Schiffer Books, 2009) is a beautiful deck of sixty gorgeously illustrated cards that act to engage our sixth sense – our intuition. Working with these cards is based upon the theory of the “Law of Attraction” – you will draw to you the answers that you seek, as well as the wisdom of what you need most to know.

The card backs set the tone for working with this oracle – they show a male figure standing behind a female figure, with their arms around each other. They appear as part of a tree, with what would be their lower bodies as he trunk and root of the tree. Behind them is a beautiful rainbow, with the moon in the sky above. A white dove is in front of the figures, with its wings wrapped around the tree (indicating Divine love and protection).

Each card is presented with a discussion of the energy of the card, an act that the reader can take to honor this energy, and a special message concerning why this energy was brought to the reader. For example, one of the cards is entitled “Sharing”. The figure on the card is the Light Priestess. The energy of this card is that of the celebration of myth and legend. The focus is on ancient thoughtforms, and how they rode the threads of time.

The action to be taken with “Sharing” is that of extending joy to a stranger. For the reader to take time in their day to do something nice for someone else, expecting nothing in return. The Special Message for “Sharing” is that the reader needs to stop allowing others to control their life. Send them love, and joy, and release them,and thie hold ove your life.

In her introduction, Sakmar-Sullivan notes that we need to live each moment in appreciation of and gratitude for all the Creator has given us. Part of what the Creator has gifted us with is oracles such as this that help us to ground and center ourselves, and live in accordance with Divine principles. Go into your day with love and compassion!
