Ask. Draw. Discover.

In the fifth layer of the sky, there is said to be a milky white lake, tied to the life and soul of every human. When a child is about to be born, the creator draws a soul from this sacred white lake and places it into the newborn. The White Deer, a celestial being born of this milky white lake, appears in many myths. It shows up just before a rite of passage, offering its blessing and strength to the hero. It prepares the person for a new action and points them toward their purpose. Across shamanic traditions, the deer is seen as a gentle, alert, and sacred creature. It lives in secluded places, appears suddenly, knows holy grounds, and is regarded as a messenger of the divine. The deer archetype is a symbol of both material and spiritual guidance, leading the hero to love or transformation through a significant quest. According to shamanic belief, the White Deer brings peace and abundance to those it guides, offering wise solutions in difficult times. It helps expand one’s aura.

Pay attention to the signs that may lead you out of your current situation. What matters is being aware of the real problem and finding clear solutions. First, learn to stay calm. Then, find a way to respond to challenges quickly and in line with your vision. Agility means adjusting to life’s ups and downs and developing the ability to change direction when needed.

Few symbols have stirred the human mind like the serpent. Feared, blamed, and yet also admired for its ability to shed its skin and be reborn, the snake represents both danger and healing. In the legends of Anatolia and Mesopotamia, Shahmaran—half woman, half serpent—embodies the positive side of the serpent archetype. She is not a creature of evil, but a symbol of healing, deep wisdom, and radiant beauty. According to legend, when a deadly illness strikes the king, Shahmaran’s flesh is said to be the only cure. Her beloved, Tahmasp, is tortured into revealing her hidden location. When Shahmaran is captured and realizes her end is near, she deceives those who seek to use her. The greedy vizier dies from eating her tail, while Tahmasp, overcome with grief, bites her neck. But from his tears and love, he transforms into Lokman the Healer—a legendary figure said to understand the language of plants and cure countless diseases. To this day, her image is believed to bring good luck and is often hung in homes as a symbol of blessing.

Shahmaran represents the healing power that can emerge through change, loss, and sacrifice. She reminds us that what seems like misfortune may carry the seed of deep transformation. Even if you’re resisting change out of habit or fear, now may be the time to shed your old skin and renew yourself. Take care of your health—cleanse your body of toxins, review your habits, and listen to what your body truly needs. Shahmaran, whose heart is as kind as her beauty is powerful, also symbolises the kind of love that asks for selflessness. Her story teaches that goodness returns to those who act with compassion, and that sometimes, sacrifice is what opens the door to true healing.

The lion appears in many mythologies as a guardian of sacred places, a companion to kings and gods. In Babylon, it stands beside Ishtar, the goddess of love and war. In Egypt, it becomes Sekhmet, the fierce feminine force of destruction and wrath. In Anatolian saint legends, the lion is sometimes a mount, sometimes a bearer of secrets. Among the Seljuks, it is linked to the sun and seen as a symbol of vital force. While often representing strength and nobility, the lion can also signify destructive tendencies. In Hebrew tradition, the lion can be greedy and violent, representing weaker personalities. In Dede Korkut stories, the hero must slay a lion to reach his beloved—not just a beast, but as a symbol of the inner struggles like ego and arrogance one must overcome to cherish love. In every story, the lion points to the same truth: it is a symbol of both divine light and destructive darkness.

The Lion card calls you to lead with justice. True authority is rooted in wisdom—it means honoring what is right and giving each thing its due. Your willpower is your kingdom. To lead fairly, you must rise above ego and pride, and act from your higher self for the greater good. This is not the time for performance—it’s time to be a true sovereign. This card reminds you to stay centered, move forward with courage, remain loyal to your ideals, and take responsibility when necessary. You must be willing to face the darker parts of your personality, take control of them, and even transform them into strengths. The Lion says: the time has come to take control—not as a ruler who dominates, but as a leader who uplifts.

The peacock holds different meanings in various myths. As a member of the pheasant family, it is most recognized for its dazzlingly beautiful feathers and startling calls. In Greek mythology, after punishing the hundred-eyed Argus, the goddess Hera plucks his eyes and scatters them on the peacock’s tail. In Hinduism, the peacock is associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of compassion and fortune. In Babylonian and Persian myths, it appears as the guardian of palaces. The values the peacock represents include spiritual beauty, appreciating what we have, wholeness, self-confidence, honor, and compassion. Its feathers are often used in shamanic healing rituals. Scientific research shows that the peacock's vibrant colors come not from pigments, but from microscopic crystal-like structures. During courtship, the vibrations of these feathers serve as both visual and auditory signals in communication. In shamanic rituals, peacock feathers are lightly waved over the bodies of the sick or wounded, with the intention of clearing negative psychic energy.

The Peacock reminds us to keep smiling at life without losing our center, to know our own worth, and to remember that what truly matters is the beauty of the heart—not external appearances. It warns us to steer clear of ostentation and drama. It encourages us to embrace life with joy and enthusiasm, and reminds us that approaching things with a smile can open many doors. It may also signal that many eyes are on you, and that you are entering a phase where you will attract great attention. This could be the perfect time to rise quickly in your career by planning well, exploring new ventures, and forming trustworthy partnerships. In every sense, the peacock is a symbol of good luck and happiness.

In its reversed meaning, the Peacock Card may point to someone who appears beautiful but speaks harmfully.

The sun, source of light and life, is the heart of our solar system. It has been revered throughout history as the bringer of illumination, warmth, fertility, and growth. In nearly all cultures, it symbolizes divine wisdom, clarity of mind, truth, and justice. The sun is often associated with the masculine principle, the father, consciousness, and the illuminated path. In ancient Egypt, it appears as Ra; in the Incan tradition, as Inti; in Vedic belief, as Surya. In Christianity, it becomes a symbol of Christ, the “Sun of Righteousness.” In most mythologies, the sun signifies the eye of God watching over all. Solar deities rule not just over day and time, but over law, truth, and kingship. The sun also represents the moment when the truth can no longer be denied—it illuminates everything it touches, including what has been hidden.

The Sun card heralds success, clarity, and high energy. It suggests that a powerful life force is now working in your favor. Blockages may dissolve, misunderstandings clear up, and vitality return. A surge of motivation may arise, giving you confidence and drive. This card points to a time of fulfillment, joy, and possibly public recognition. However, it also brings a warning: too much solar energy can burn. Pay attention to where you may be overpowering others, chasing only the spotlight, or letting pride inflate your ego. When your light blinds instead of warms, it becomes destructive.

This card may also call you to honor your sexual energy and creative force—without guilt, shame, or inhibition. Embrace your desires consciously. When used wisely, sexual energy is a sacred expression of life’s vitality. On the other hand, if it’s being repressed or misused, the imbalance may surface through frustration, anger, or overcompensation in other areas. Let your joy be radiant and grounded. You are entering a chapter of life where clarity and truth will light the way—if you are ready to receive it.

This card may also signal an engagement or even a wedding.

For the Native peoples of the Americas, the buffalo symbolizes abundance, creative energy, healing, and the strength to endure. In shamanic belief, the power of the buffalo is a divine gift to humanity. In a time of famine, the Lakota people are visited by White Buffalo Woman, who teaches them the meanings and rituals of sacred prayer and ceremony. She guides them to form a sacred circle and sing to the four cardinal directions in honor of the sun. She also shows them how to use tobacco in sacred ways. As she leaves, she appears in four different colors—then finally transforms into a white buffalo, salutes the four directions, and says, “I will return,” before vanishing. It is believed that she will come again to heal the Earth, restore balance, and bring peace among nations.

The White Buffalo Woman card signals that you may come out of a difficult situation with the help of blessing, luck, and grace. It invites you to turn inward, rediscover your true intention, and feel gratitude for the gifts already in your life. It reminds you to share what you don’t use with others, to be generous in your relationships, to release old behaviors that no longer serve your growth, and to give back to the community what you’ve received. This card also urges you to stay focused on your goals and move your intentions with conscious, aligned energy. Turn inward, understand your true intention, and take deliberate daily steps toward it.

This card may also be a sign that there is a highly fruitful sourrce around you—if you recognize it, you can benefit highly of it.
