"This is an extraordinary work. Deep wisdom. Exquisite art. Mary's "Visionary Dance Oracle" is rich in occult knowledge, profound and yet practical. Full-color! Powerful symbology that is both archetypal and utterly fresh and new. It is a must have both for your own shelf of mystical essentials and as a unique and bounteous gift for your loved ones and allies. Especially, if you collect potent, diverse Oracle decks. You will want to add this one to your collection. It breaks new ground in very meaningful ways. It offers a radical revisioning of the Major Arcana." - Richard Power

"My friend Mary Power (who's in my phone as "Mary! Power!") has created a special artifact, a complex/simple tool for ritual divination and unlocking creative expression. The Visionary Dance Oracle is a truly unusual thing: Not only is the concept original AF -- a movement-based oracular divination card deck -- also the *way* meaning is delivered is utterly unique (a word I never use unless I really mean "there is only one of these in the world").
See, most decks come with a booklet containing the means to interpret each card. In this work of art, the booklet contains a recipe for moving the body that creates the space for the message of the card to come through the dancer. It also comes with a mystical ko-an of sorts, a passage of ancient scripture or sound instruction to engage the mind.
(And who better to curate transformational text than Madam President of the Sfts Lodge San Francisco Theosophical Society Lodge, Her Own Self?)
As the mind moves off on its own quest, the body is freed to expand, explore, convey, conduct the "meaning" of the card. The inquirer must run the images and text through their own body and mind in order to "come up with the answer" instead of being directed as to "what it all means."
The body tells us. The message is waiting to be delivered in the movement. Open to it.
With one card, my body delivered elaborate instructions for how to make the most of every day. With another, how to go from dejected and exhausted to elated and celebrated. With a third, how to stay on a path of integration and balance in life.
And with another, my body simply told me, in no uncertain terms, "It is your ordained right to ask for outrageous, utterly impossible miracles--and have them delivered in unexpectedly delightful ways.
Must try. Strongly recommend." - Emily Shurr
