The Nidana Cards

Tommie Kelly and I discuss the Nidana Cards, a new card-based oracle, inspired by Buddhist teachings, which he and I have developed over the past year or so.

In the video, we discuss the origins of this new oracle; the meaning and philosophy of the nidanas; how Tommie tackled the challenge of giving them a new and unique pictorial expression; the meanings of some of the cards; the overall character of the oracle; and some guidance on how it can be used for divination and contemplation.

Our plan is to release further short videos exploring the meaning of each one of the twenty-six cards.
