Looking for that perfect holiday gift for the animal lover who already has everything?

Well I bet they don’t have a set of these one-of-a-kind animal divination cards by Toledo based artist Yelizaveta Bakhtina.

Animal divination cards, also known as animal oracle cards, are a tool used for guidance, introspection, and self-reflection. Each card features a detailed, hand drawn animal and its associated symbolic meaning or energy. Users draw cards to receive insights, messages, or inspiration based on the qualities or attributes of the animal depicted.

Common Uses:
1. Personal Guidance: They can help you navigate challenges by reflecting on the traits of the drawn animal (e.g., wisdom from an owl, perseverance from a turtle).
2. Meditation: Focus on the animal’s qualities during meditation to connect with its energy or symbolism.
3. Decision-Making: Draw cards to gain clarity on a situation or decision.
4. Spiritual Connection: Some people use them to feel a deeper connection to nature or animal spirits.
5. Self-Discovery: The cards can encourage you to explore your own characteristics and align them with the qualities of the animal.

Animal divination cards are the perfect gift for people interested in mythology and natural wisdom, but can be used by anyone to achieve greater clarity. Get your deck at the Sterncastle Bookshop in Newport while supplies last!
