Secret Dakini Oracle

I have always been fascinated with oracles, In the first phase of my relationship with Nik Douglas, we put together a set of cards based on Tantric iconography and symbolism to use ourselves and with our friends. The collages were created in a very free form and intuitive way, and when I did readings for people with the cards, I followed the same intuitive method. As Tantra is an all inclusive spiritual path, it allowed for much imagery from the esoteric and the natural world to be included.  We saw the cards as energy glyphs.

The cards seemed to work so well, give such accurate insights, that we decided to see if we could get them published. The publisher (US Games and Systems) wanted an explanatory book to accompany the cards. We found that the cards easily related to the Tarot, corresponding to the Major Arcana cards, then 10 cards in each suit of air, fire, water, earth plus three time cards to make up the 64. In the preface we described how our system was based on the 64 Yogini Temples of India. I wrote what came through to me for each card, then Nik added the aspects of numerology and his knowledge and insights. I made two original collage/painted charts for the layout of the cards, the Tree of Life and the Map of the Great Universe.

The Secret Dakini Oracle was republished in 2003 as The Tantric Dakini Oracle.
