About The Book
The Findhorn community has cultivated a loving partnership with the subtle realms since its very beginning when one of the founders, Dorothy Maclean (1920-2020), began communicating with the devic world in the original Findhorn gardens. Following this lineage of communication with nature and the elemental beings, the Findhorn Spirit Oracle Cards were brought to life in the Findhorn gardens and sanctuaries through a special technique called touch-drawing. In a meditative state, artist Swan Treasure simply allowed the images to appear from her hands onto paper, trusting the powerful energy that asked to be made visible. It was only once all 44 of the touch-drawings were done that their purpose as an elemental-inspired oracle deck became evident.
Each card depicts a spirit being as they chose to reveal themselves, in order to pass on wisdom to help us navigate these times of transition. The cards function as energy activators and, through their messages and energies, offer support, companionship, and practical guidance that can be applied to the challenges of daily life. They can also assist us in establishing and deepening a partnership with the divine. Divided into 6 groups, each associated with one of the Findhorn gardens, the cards share the community principles of co-creation with nature, inner listening, and love in action that inspire life in Findhorn.
A longer message connected to the essence of the elemental depicted can be found in the accompanying booklet. It also offers a suggestion for a spiritual practice to open communication and engage more deeply with the nature spirits. The cards call us to express a greater sensitivity toward all creation; to slow down, open our hearts, and fine-tune our perceptions to retrace our steps to a more authentic, alive, and lighter living on this planet. A potent tool for fine-tuning our intuitive senses as well as for self-discovery and healing, this deck is your invitation to reclaim wholeness and open to co-creation with the subtle realms. May it bring joy and light to your path.
Excerpt
We wish to celebrate all of the readers, the healers, the alternative therapists, and the subtle activists who are called to take a stand for the elevation of human consciousness. You are doing an awesome act of service. Receive our love and abundant blessings! Thank you making yourself available as channels for Earth healing. We honor you.
THE PURPOSE OF THE FINDHORN SPIRIT ORACLE
The pictures on these cards came through in the week following the Co Creative Spirituality Conference of 2018 at the Findhorn Foundation, using a meditative technique called touch drawing. No pencils or brushes are used while drawing, only the touch of hands and nails on tissue paper placed on a board on top of colors.
Many of the Spirit Beings who were invited during that time to actively participate in co creation with humans made themselves available and accessible.
The messages that have been channeled in connection with each of the spirit beings depicted in the cards encourage us to reconnect with our essential nature, to open our awareness to new realities, to activate our full vital energy and engage our power of co creation with the divine in wholeness and the joy of partnership with the subtle realms.
They can also serve as a way to establish a deeper relationship with part of our consciousness that tends to be excluded or forgotten.
If you have been drawn to this deck trust that it isn’t by chance…the subtle realms are enticing you!
Each image on the cards represents a spirit being that has made itself visible in a specific shape suitable to be understood by human consciousness, and is ready to connect with you.
For this purpose a finely tuned instrument is needed: our human body, which also gives us the ability and privilege of taking inspired action to create a world in which all can live in dignity; a world where being is valued as much as doing.
The founders of the Findhorn Foundation often talked about bringing Heaven on Earth, and having a spiritual practice is part of this endeavor. Through practice we refine our communication channels and are able to attune to the subtle dimensions of reality.
Our essential nature is akin to a gentle openness, a spaciousness, a state of flow and relaxation. We mostly find these qualities when we live a heart-centered life.
Therefore many of the practices suggested on individual cards prompt us to daring sensitivity and tenderness for all creation, to slowing down and fine tuning our perceptions, to recognizing and embracing our Self in many forms, expressing ourselves with authenticity and discovering the blessing that we are when we live lightly upon this planet.
SAMPLE CARD MESSAGES
CONCEPTION--The Landscape Angel
Know that you didn’t come into existence by pure chance. You were conceived before you were made in a moment of magnificent potential. And all the natural forms around you were designed by infinite intelligence. Connect with me.
I bring you the invitation to remember the original impulse that called you into being on this planet and to actualize the dream to which you belong.
I promise to keep sustaining you as you courageously walk your path.
Thank you for your deep listening, for your willingness to co-create with the spirit realms and to live intentionally.
Much work is needed to rebalance a natural system that has been upset by human delusions of grandeur. And much play too!
The soul’s yearning to self-expression is alive in every breath you take.
Share the gifts you bring, share your uniqueness. Together let’s consciously manifest the destiny of humankind.
Focus: dialogue, co-creation, self-expression
Practice: Go for a walk in nature. Breathe deeply, fill your lungs with fresh air.
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and in your own way ask the Landscape Angel of your area to connect with you. Then simply stand wherever you are, opening for connection with your environment. When you are ready, gently, softly whisper your name as if you were introducing yourself to the Subtle realms. Play with different ways of saying your name until you feel you have been heard. Then stop and wait for an answer which may come in many forms: a sound, a physical sensation, words...

Raves and Reviews
"Dorothy Maclean, one of the founders of the Findhorn community, is acknowledged and honored in this series of oracle illustrations which Swan Treasure created within the Findhorn community. It was Maclean who first openly received communications from the spirit who 'overlighted' the growth of plants in what is now known as the Original Garden. Many spirit beings (Maclean called them Devas) were found to inhabit the garden and surrounding landscape in support of the growth of the community. Swan Treasure made contact with those spirit beings and created drawings which serve as portals to the other realms. The 160-page companion book offers readers her insights into the illustrations that she channeled. If you’ve been looking for a way to channel spirit guides, this deck is a safe and loving way to open to that dialogue."
