The deck includes 82 cards with vintage photographs depicting our collective family of ancestor archetypes. These are the voices of your protective and guiding ancestors, your Spirit Helpers. They’ve come together to reconcile the fellowship of the past, with the unlimited potential of the future. A special card called the “Spirit Throne” is used as a Seat of Honor, a sacred space within which to hold counsel with a particular spirit. The accompanying full-color guidebook provides an array of spreads to meet specific sorts of inquiry. While gender-specific pronouns are used in the descriptions of these cards, please use your intuition when connecting with the image on the card and develop a profile for its unique energy. At times, The Beloved Dead oracle cards will represent a specific soul, living or in spirit; at other times they may convey an experience, memory, event, or outlook, and always deliver a message related to the context of your question.
