- [George] Lightworker, welcome to my channel.
My name is George Lizos.

and "Protect Your Light: A Practical Guide
to Energy Protection, Cleansing, and Cutting Cords".
In this video, I'll be walking you through
Rebecca Campbell's new deck, The Rose Oracle,
which is just so stunning.
Take a look at it.

Okay, so let's just, first of all,
this deck is gorgeous, and it's got the uniqueness
of having this special case
that can be used as an altar piece, as well,
which is very similar to Rebecca's previous deck,
The Starseed Oracle.
So, let me just walk you through essentially
how you can use this deck as an altarpiece.
So as soon as you open it,
you can see that it creates this triangle,
and triangle, and this is something Rebecca talks about
in the booklet, as well, is a sacred symbol
that symbolizes among many other things
the connection between heaven and earth.
So it creates this geometrical symbolism
of balancing and connecting
and aligning our spiritual nature with our physical nature.
So firstly, you can use it as an altar piece like that,
so when you choose your card of the day,
you can just place the card over here
as a constant reminder on your altar on a daily basis.
Another way you can use this deck
is by using the other part of the deck in this way,
and when you do, let's say for example, a two card reading,
you can place your cards like that,
and then you can turn it each way to read the cards.
Or, if you want to do a one card reading,
you can just place it like that, or even like that.
So there are instructions in the deck
on how to lay the cards, for example, around the deck
by using the case in such a practical and beautiful way.
I love the creativity behind that,
because it just gives a purpose for the case.
So let's just take a look at the box here
because it's got the beautiful image of the rose.
The artwork of course is by Katie-Louise.
I love the foil over here,
and it's just a very beautiful and feminine deck.
Instantly when you see it,
you know it's gonna be about connecting
with your feminine energy.
And it's a 44-card deck and guide book.
Let's read a little bit about what it says.
"The rose is a symbol of goddess of old
"and She holds potent medicine for these times.
"This oracle creates space
"for you to connect with Her energy,
"wisdom and breathtaking beauty.
"May Her healing mysteries call you home
"to your true nature."
And we're gonna talk about the rose
as we go through the deck.
And it says here on the top,
"Unlock the sacred mysteries of the rose."
When you open the deck,
it's got messages on the inside, as well.
"Plant yourself here,"
which is Rebecca Campbell's overarching message
in The Starseed Oracle, as well,
and "Letters to a Starseed", which is her new book.
And then I think on the inside here,
you can also see, "Plant yourself here."
So let's just leave this on the side for now
and let's go through the booklet.
First of all, as soon as you open the deck,
you have The Rose Oracle Attunement,
and this is an attunement you can read
before you give yourself readings.
I personally used it at the start of getting the deck,
just so I kind of tuned the deck
to the over soul of roses,
but also so that I can connect
with the over soul of roses, as well.
And you can see some instructions here
as to how you can use it.
Now, the booklet, the guide book,
now usually these booklets just had,
like, some information about how to read the cards
and then messages for each card
and descriptions of each card.
However, there's a substantial part of this booklet
that's all about the rose, which I found so fascinating.
I've always been connected with the roses.
I use a rose water as a toner for my face,
I use a rose essential oil-infused moisturizing cream,
I use essential oil of rose on my heart
to open my heart or to heal my heart,
I use a face mist with rose.
I'm just obsessed with roses. (laughs)
Now, let me know in the comments,
how do you use rose related products?
So here you'll read information
about the sacred and mystical associations of the rose,
the symbolism of the rose, the history of the rose,
how the rose has been used since the ancient times
until the current times,
and how the symbolism of the rose has evolved.
And I want to read you what I've bookmarked here,
because I found it so interesting and fascinating,
and I believe it captures the essence of the deck.
So, "As the rose becomes more and more popular
"and it's embraced by the hearts of humanity,
"we're beginning to see beyond the long-stemmed red rose
"grown in a hot house as a commercial declaration
"of love on Valentine's Day,
"and into the mystical, healing,
"sacred, feminine, hidden world of all that She holds
"and has been a symbol of since times ancient.
"What is the rose calling forth within you?"
And I want to start this walk through with this question,
let me know in the comments,
what does the rose symbolize for you?
What does it mean to you?
What comes to mind?
What emotion comes within your body when you look on roses?
Okay, shall we go through the deck?
So I'm just gonna walk you through the cards.
First of all, we have the back design of the cards,
which is just gorgeous and very symmetrical,
and very in alignment with the symmetrical nature of roses.
And there is also information around that
and the symbolism of that in the book.
So, let's just go through card by card.
The Rose of Venus.
This was actually the first card I picked
when I gave myself a reading.
And by the way, stay until the end
because I'm gonna do a collective reading
for everyone watching this right now.
So, I have a strong connection with Aphrodite,
my gal over there.
I am a great priest to Hellenic Polytheism.
I am Greek, that's my ethnicity,
and living in Cyprus, I'm part of the group of people
who still believe in the ancient Greek gods and goddesses.
So we honor them on a monthly basis,
and Aphrodite is my favorite goddess
and the one I connect to the most.
So I felt so blessed when I picked that card.
She was, like, reaching out.
So let's just go through the cards
so you get an idea as to how they look.
And by the way, when you open the booklet, as well,
there's a description of the symbolism
and the history of each card and the message behind it,
but there's also the soul inquiry prompts,
which are essentially journaling prompts that you can use,
and rose transmissions,
and this is just a channeled message from the rose
that you can repeat out loud.
Temple of the Rose, that is so beautiful.
And of course, as you can see,
the imagery is multilayered.
So there is so much symbolism here,
so you can draw on that symbolism
when you're giving yourself or someone else reading.
Another thing I love about this deck is in the booklet,
Rebecca explains that something that I believe, as well,
that oracle cards and all types of divination systems,
they're just ways for us to connect
with the wisdom within us.
So the cards don't hold the power.
We hold the power and the cards are simply a tool
through which we can tune into our own wisdom
and channel it.
It's such an empowering way to see oracle cards,
rather than be dependent on them.
Lineage of the Rose.
And the symbolism, the multilayered symbolism here,
can help you tune into your intuition so much more easily
because there's just so much to draw from.
It's clearly a deck where you can connect
to the over soul, the collective spirit of roses,
as Rebecca Campbell calls her in the booklet, Mother Rose.
So I want you to think of every single flower
as having a collective essence, also known us the over soul.
Now, let me just pause a little bit,
because this is the Brothers of the Rose.
As I told you, it's essentially a deck
to connect with the divine feminine,
but there is also this card,
that helps you connect with the sacred masculine.
So this is not a deck just for women.
It's a deck for everyone
to connect with the divine feminine within us,
and something that I found
with regards to the divine feminine and divine masculine
is that they're so interconnected.
You cannot embrace the divine feminine
without also embracing the divine masculine, and vice versa.
They're just two sides of the same coin.
The Breathing Rose.
So beautiful.
So there are many ways to read these cards.
You can read the symbolism, you can read the messages here,
you can see, you can read the key words,
or you can just go into the booklet
to read the information there
and do journaling activities and therefore go deeper
with each card or with each reading,
read the soul transmission
and deepen your connection with the flowers.
And another thing that Rebecca talks about
in the guidelines is that before
you give yourself a reading, take some time to connect
with what I said earlier, the collective over soul,
the spirit of roses, Mother Rose, just so you deepen.
Oh, here we are, Mother Rose just came in to say hey.
(laugh)
It's a deeper way to connect with any deck,
but especially with a deck that has to do with flowers,
because they are living beings
that are here to bring so much wisdom to us.
Okay, so how do you like the deck?
Let me know in the comments.
How did you feel while seeing all these cards?
So, are you ready for a collective reading?
So I will use the deck in the way it's intended to,
to give you a collective one card reading.
So I'm holding the intention of giving a message
to everyone who watches the video right now.
What do we need to know?
This card feels like wanting to come forth.
Ooh, The Rose Garden.
And here we can see, innocence, forgiveness,
be gentle with yourself.
So I'm gonna just going to put the card here.
I'm gonna bring it closer.
Beautiful, right?
I love seeing it there.
It's such a beautiful way, and actually,
you can have this on your altar,
and whenever you pull a card,
you can just have it next to you
to remind you of that every single day.
So here's your reading.
The easiest way to resolve whatever it is
you're going through is to be still
and just know that you're being guided.
As you look at these rose garden,
I want you to visualize and picture
that you are the garden,
and there are so many roses within you,
constantly giving you wisdom and guidance
that will allow you to grow stronger
from the obstacles that are coming into your life,
and also gift you with epiphanies, breakthroughs and wisdom
that will allow you to move forward.
So as you spend some time in that stillness,
that rose garden flourishes.
Now remember, the rose garden is always within you.
The degree to which you see it and witness it or not
has to do with your capacity to be still, to be silent,
to be gentle with yourself, to go within,
quiet your mind, quiet your body,
calm down your emotional and mental bodies
and allow that wisdom to arise naturally.
This is what most spiritual traditions
are teaching essentially, that when we go within,
when we stop the chatter in our minds,
the wisdom and the answers that we seek
just naturally come up to the surface
and we realize that all the things
that we hate about ourselves or judge ourselves for,
or all our fears, our limiting beliefs or our neuroses,
it just is not real.
But when we quiet our mind, all of that just washes away
and the true essence of who we are
and therefore the true wisdom that lies within us
naturally comes to the surface.
So take this message with you today,
whatever it is you're going through,
and trust that Mother Rose is guiding your way.
So there you go, lightworker.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I hope you enjoyed this review and walk through
of The Rose Oracle.
