Based on the divination tool known to the ancients of Mesoamerica as the Cross of Quetzalcoatl, or Tonalpohualli, The Toltec Oracle compiles the essence of the magical knowledge of the Toltec and provides a sacred mirror with which to see the hidden truths and potential of our souls in the context of the governing principles of life. The deck consists of 20 Tonalpohualli cards, calendar signs that represent archetypal situations of life, and 13 Ruler cards, which depict the main deities and sacred principles of the Toltec tradition. Using original sources of Toltec literature, poems, paintings, and philosophical texts, The Toltec Oracle gives the meaning of each card as it relates to Toltec symbolism and metaphysical concepts, as well as how that meaning is affected by the placement of the card in one of the four quadrants in the principle layout spread corresponding to body, mind, emotions, and spirit. More than 200 exercises and practices with practical applications for the readings accompany the cards.Anthropologist Victor Sanchez has dedicated his life to the preservation of the traditions of the indigenous peoples of Mexico with whom he has lived for 20 years.
