The Celtic Tree Oracle

by Colin Murray

Published 15 October 1988
This is an adaptation of an ancient Celtic fortune-telling system deriving from the Druid religion. It is based on the use of sacred tree symbols to foretell the future. The Celts believed that every tree has its own quality and stands for some natural force or power. The authors have adopted these traditional Celtic tree symbols for use in a card system similar to Tarot. The inquirer shuffles the cards and arranges them into three groups representing past, present and future. The mix of cards obtained can then be interpreted to show the dominant influences at the time and to guide the inquirer's future course of action.
