In these Ibiza Tarot Nature Oracle Cards - Inspired by The Wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson, you will find passages from the book Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson along with commentary by Jeff Carreira. The deck has been produced in partnership with Emergence Education.This oracle deck is based on writings from the book Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson first published in 1836. In the book, Emerson lays out his idealistic philosophy of nature mysticism and encourages his readers not to look to tradition for spiritual wisdom, but instead to seek the truth directly for themselves.At the heart of his philosophy is the assertion that the material world and our physical existence do not define reality because we are spiritual beings whose source is as vast as the universe itself. His book aims to show how we can awaken to our true nature and realize our ultimate spiritual power. During the two decades following the book's publication the ideas it introduced became central to the spiritual movement known as Transcendentalism and Emerson's belief that we can discover the mysteries of spirit through the direct examination of our inner nature and the world around us is often seen as the beginning of the spiritual-but-not-religious tradition in the United States.
