They’re powerful guides who can help you understand your life’s purpose, muster the courage to make significant changes, and de- velop your psychic and manifestation abilities. Each ascended master has specialities such as healing, manifesting, ascension, relationships, and so forth. They come from every religion and culture, and they’re nondenominational. You don’t need special training or experience to gain their help. This deck of oracle cards will familiarize you with 44 ascended masters, as well as give you their messages and guidance. This deck is designed for beginners as well as experienced oracle-card users.How to Use Your Oracle Cards Oracle cards are an ancient, time-honored way to connect with angels and spirit guides. They’re based upon Pythagorean numerology, which states that all numbers and images vibrate in mathematically precise ways. You can’t make a mistake with these oracle cards, because they operate with the infallible Law of Attraction. This means that your questions (or your client's questions) always attract exactly the perfect cards as their answers. You'll always pull the card whose answer matches the vibration of the question. Here are the steps to give an oracle-card read- ing for yourself or others: Step 1: Clear Your Card Deck Since your cards are sensitive instruments, they need to be cleared of any energy they may have absorbed from the manufacturing process. Steps | and 2 only need repeating after another person touches your cards, or if your readings lack clarity because they're clogged with too much energy.To clear your cards, first hold the deck in your nondominant hand (the hand you normally don’t write with), as this is the hand that receives energy. Form a fist with your other hand (this is the hand that sends energy), and knock on the cards once with your fist. This clears out the old energy so that the cards are now a blank slate and ready to be imbued with your personal vibration. Step 2: Consecrate the Cards Touch each card briefly to infuse them with your personal energy. You can touch just one cor- ner of each card to accomplish this. Then, fan the cards out with the artwork facing you. Hold the fanned cards to your heart and think about any prayers or intentions with which you'd like to im- bue the cards. For instance, you can say silently or aloud: “1 ask that all of my readings with these cards be accurate and specific, and bring blessings to everyone in- volved. Please help me to stay centered in my higher self so that I may clearlyhear, see, feel, and know the Divine mes- Sages that wish to come through these readings.” Ask and pray for whatever help you'd like during your readings, such as confidence, clarity, compassion, and so forth. Your cards now carry your personal vibration and intentions. Step 3: Ask a Question Think of a question you'd like the answer to. f you’re giving a reading to others, ask them to ‘ither think of or verbalize their question. The as- cended masters hear your thoughts, so you needn’t voice your query aloud. Step 4: Shuffle the Cards Think of the question as you shuffle the cards, and ask the ascended masters to help you with answers and guidance. If one or more cards “jump” out of the deck while you’re shuffling, place them to one side. They will be part of your card reading.As you’re shuffling, you'll likely notice feel- ings, thoughts, words, or visions. These Divine messages will help you to further understand the cards you draw. So, notice these impressions as they come to you. When your cards begin to clump into two dis- tinct sections, it’s time to stop shuffling. You may get a feeling, thought, or vision to stop shuffling. You may even hear the words “Stop shuffling now.” You’ll want to trust and honor these Divine messages, which are helping you with the reading. You can’t make a mistake and stop shuffling too soon or early, as the Law of Attraction ensures that you’ ll always choose the correct cards. Step 5: Choose a Card Pull the top card from the deck. This is the answer to your question. As you read the words on the card, notice any thoughts, words, feelings, or visions that come to you, as these are additional messages from the ascended masters that person- alize the card’s particular meaning for you. The picture also holds meaning for you, so study its details.The next section of this booklet gives addi- tional meanings for each card. Remember that you can change the outcome of any situation through prayer, visualization, and positive affirmations. The ascended masters can help you alter your future for the better if you'll ask and be open to receiving their help. Three-Card Spread After completing Steps 3 and 4 above, pick three cards from the top of the deck. Lay the first card to your left, the second card in the middle, and the third card to the right with the pictures and words lying faceup. The card to your left speaks about the im- mediate past with respect to the situation you in- quired about. The middle card reveals your ques- tion’s current status and what you need to know or work on right now. The card to the right shows your immediate future, if you continue on your present path and follow the guidance in the middle card. Again, remember that you can improve your future by holding a positive outlook and following your inner guidance.Multiple Card Decks You can use the Ascended Masters Oracle Cards with other card decks to have additional de- tails in your readings. Simply complete Steps 3. 4, and 5 for each card deck. Then look for the com- mon theme among the cards that you’ ve chosen as the answer to your question.The Meanings of the Cards TS guidebook lists the general meanings of each card in the Ascended Masters Oracle Cards deck. The cards are listed alphabetically, according to the theme related with each ascended master. Find the page and read the general meanings of each card. Your intuition will give you additional personalized guidance, so as you read about each card, simultaneously pay attention to your feelings and thoughts.

So Pan ran after Syrinx down to the river. Syrinx called upon wa- ter nymphs for help, and they turned Pan into wil- low reeds. As Pan yelled for help, the reeds made beautiful music.
