Diana Cuatto Kessler on Shamanism, Earth Wisdom & Her Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle Deck

Host Tanya Roundy interviews counselor, writer, and retired ballet director Diana Kessler about her post-retirement focus on shamanism and Earth wisdom and her mission to bring Indigenous wisdom from North and South America into modern life. Kessler describes creating the “Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle” deck and detailed guidebook based on the North American medicine wheel, inspired by a 2002 near-death appendix experience and developed through a six-month journey around Sedona and the Verde Valley. She explains the deck’s structure (creator cards for lower/middle/upper worlds, lunar cycles, spirit pathways, stones, and cardinal directions), shares example cards and haiku, and discusses oracle work as guidance rather than prediction. The conversation emphasizes healing, integrating light and shadow, gratitude, joy, grounding in nature, and practical elemental practices like simple candle-based fire ceremonies.
