Śani (Saturn) | Mantra Oracle Cards Reprint | Om Śanaye Namaha

Śani (Saturn)
oṃ śanaye namaḥ
Saturn takes on the look of a native wisdom keeper, an ancestor. The raven is at his crown and two ravens fly in the sky above him. He holds mala beads in prayer and meditation and focus on spiritual work. The ox takes a position in the background, a simple reminder of discipline. Saturn is the pole of Jupiter, as as Jupiter is expansion, Saturn is contraction. Coming back in and greeting the aspects of self that must be released. He knows so well as Saturn is solitude. His hands beckon us in to see these buried mysteries, his cloak unveiling a body of stars and galaxies unknown before. He is crowned with black raven feathers, the Lord of Death. A raven departs out of the right corner of the piece, a signifier of moving between spaces, of physical and etheric, of life and death. Saturn's yantra is encircled by the rings of the planet itself. He carries a bow and four arrows, four directions, ready to quell the aspects of self that need extinguishing. He is flanked by the ox, his vehicle, also representing the cultivation and discipline of attention. Saturn is our guiding ancestor, our grandfather, our way of knowing death as the ultimate reflection of life and destiny.

By infusing each oracle card/artwork with the energies of each mantra, they have created an enlivened collection of divination cards and paintings. Each print is produced with the highest quality, to resemble the original artwork with spectacularly vivid clarity and color. Each print is produced with high quality archival inks on archival paper with a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 Large Format Printer.
