“Imaginosophy” - the study of the Creative Imagination

“Imaginosophy” is the study of the creative imagination. The word is derived from a play on words: “Imagine-osophy.” Our imagination is naturally resourceful and creative. “Osophy” is the field of study, a belief or doctrine. We created three decks of cards to help us “imagine” the journey of the Awakening Human. Within this play we “Imagine-Sophia” and it is this deity who acts as the primary guide for the work and practice of Imaginosophy. Imagining Sophia, is about remembering the wisdom inherent within our souls. There are many ways to delve into the world of Imaginosophy.

Summary of the Fair Folk Oracle

By Ayn Cates Sullivan, illustrated by Belle Crow duCray

The Fair Folk Oracle offers wisdom from ancient Ireland. In the deck we meet pivotal members of the Tuatha Dé Danann who emerge as Guardians, Oracles, and a Druid. They are also referred to as the Sidhe or Aos Si. The four magical treasures of the Sidhe also appear amongst the cards as special gifts wielding unique powers that support civilization and empower the querent. Irish Faeries arise as elementals and nature spirits, who continue to imbue the land with life affirming wonders. The Aos Si love colors, and this deck contains plant and star-lore as well as healing color-codes to invite magical seekers deeper into the mysteries. This whimsical and playful Oracle offers unique spreads just for this deck, such as “A Sip of Wisdom,” “The Butterfly” and “Ancient Ireland: An Ancestral Power Reading.”

The Fair Folk Oracle can be combined with the Celtic Elemental Tarot using the “Cross of The Fair Folk” spread to bring healing light into a reading. A sample reading is offered at the end of the book. For those interested in learning more about the Tuatha Dé Danann, there is also a suggested pilgrimage through sacred Ireland called Danu’s Imrama, which means ‘journey of the soul.’

The Fair Folk Oracle includes a multitude of Irish folklore. The reader will meet deities such as Danu, the mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and her children who all have supernatural abilities. There is also Red Macha, a goddess who shapeshifts overtime into another Macha who rules as the first High King of Ireland. There are stories of the good Dagda, the romantic Aengus Og, and many more. There are also several nature spirits in the Faery cards including a Gnome who tends roots, dancing Undines, a Sylph, a lucky Leprechaun and a few flower spirits. This is a deck to uplift and inspire the inner child and the imaginative adult. Anyone with Irish ancestry will find the research fascinating.

Plato believed that there were two worlds: one was non-physical and the other was of manifest forms. He was one of the first philosophers to refer to archetypes, which he called “Forms.” Carl Jung took this work further, suggesting that archetypes are a fundamental way we have of working with the psyche. “Archetypes,” Jung wrote in The Structure and Dymanics of the Psyche, “are the living system of reactions and aptitudes that determine the individual’s life in invisible ways.”

the Major Arcana...take the Journey

The MAJOR ARCANA describes an individual’s journey from the invisible, into color, light and sound and into physical form, and the realm of duality. through initiations and tests, to fulfillment and back to the sacred formless mystery.
