 Bird Cards - the healing and transcendent power of the bird kingdomAll through the history of mankind and in all indigenous cultures, there has been an understanding that birds are profoundly important to us and that they carry messages, signs and symbolism. Therefore, when they appear in a significant way in our lives, whether in real life, or in a dream or a meditation, we tend to stop a moment and ask ourselves, 'What does that mean?' The Bird Cards help to answer that question, but they also carry the idea that each bird actually carries its own particular energy, or vibration, which helps to heal our inner beings and our planet in a very specific way. They also have a transcendent function - you have only to think of the Holy Spirit depicted as a Dove in the Bible, or of the feeling of upliftment that comes when a bird makes its presence felt in your life, to recognise this.
There are 121 Bird Cards altogether, 55 in the first set and 66 in the second set. The oracle cards were written by Jane Toerien and illustrated by Joyce van Dobben. Each set of Bird Cards consists of a box containing the beautifully illustrated, colourful cards, and a book in which the specific energy and symbolism of each bird is explained. The titles of the two sets are:
Bird Cards: The Healing Power of the Bird Kingdom (cards 1 - 55)
Ascension to Paradise: The Transcendent Power of the Bird Kingdom (cards 56 - 121)
|  Ascension to Paradise Just as the ancient seers used the auguries of the birds to show the signs of the times, so today the bird kingdom wishes to assist us in our Ascension process to a higher expression of ourselves. This is their message to us in 'Ascension to Paradise:the Transcendent Power of the Bird Kingdom':
'All is well in life. We know that all is well. Allow the noisy strife of the world to fade away and go where Truth is - in the song of the birds, the ripple of the tides, the stillness of the great mountains. There is a birthing, and a remembrance, taking place. All around, life is awakening and remembering that now is the time. Now is the time to lift up, back to the knowledge of our Oneness with all things, back to joy. Let us help you - we can help you to let go of your heaviness and learn to sing with us. There is so much joy for those who will lift up their wings and fly.'
Liz Mackenzie, a frequent user of the Bird Cards, comments: 'I have developed an awe and respect for the power, ease and inspiration available to me when I work consciously with the bird kingdom through the Bird Cards. It seems to provide a portal into another stream of consciousness which supports me in my daily life, and I have experienced extraordinary synchronicities many times.'
