Kabbalah, The Tree of Life Oracle – Cherry Gilchrist

Containing 57 symbolic cards, a reading sheet and a 114-page booklet, this set will help you explore the wisdom of the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is a sacred symbol in many cultures of the world, but here it is used as a path to knowledge linking the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet with the 22 ‘paths’ of the Tree of Life and the astrological houses. The Oracle you are now holding is based on an ancient Kabbalistic map of creation that dates back at least 1,000 years in the Jewish mystery tradition. The Tree of Life is a sacred symbol in many cultures of the world, but here it is used as a path to knowledge linking the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet with the 22 ‘paths’ of the Tree of Life and the astrological houses. Each resulting word forms a rich and powerful ‘wheel’ symbol that reflects a segment of the Tree, depicted on a card in the Oracle deck. Follow the reading sheet to lay the cards in the zigzag line of creation, and consult the guidebook to receive guidance on any life issue. Both the Oracle and the Tree are highly structured, and from this framework of harmony comes wisdom that you will value forever.

Cherry Gilchrist was one of the four original Kabbalists who worked on the original ‘Galgal’ Oracle on which the Tree of Life Oracle is based. Cherry is the author of books whose themes range from alchemy to feminine archetypes, divination and Russian mythology. She has studied the Western Kabbalistic tradition since her early twenties. Her interest in ancient cultures has taken her from Siberia to Easter Island and along the Silk Road.
