Avalon Visions Oracle - Celtic wisdom across three realms
About this deck
The Avalon Visions Oracle is built around a sacred triad drawn from Celtic spirituality: the Otherworld, the Terrestrial World, and the Stellar World. These three realms are not arranged as levels to climb through — they coexist as equally valid dimensions of being, each bringing its own cast of figures and energies to the cards. Nature devas, star beings, deep wells, and the kings, queens, and priestesses of Arthurian tradition all appear here, woven together into a single, interconnected system. The 44 cards were painted by Cheryl Yambrach Rose in oils on linen, published by Blue Angel Publishing. This is a deck that takes Celtic and Arthurian symbolism seriously, and it rewards readers who arrive with some familiarity with that tradition.
Imagery and themes
Cheryl Yambrach Rose founded Neo-Mythic Art®, a practice she describes as drawing images from the morphic fields surrounding sacred sites and the vortices within them. Her technique blends old-master painting methods with what she calls 'tuning in through the eyes' — a deeply personal process of spiritual attunement. The resulting portraits are layered and intentional, designed to carry information she describes as accessed through the pineal gland or inner eye in connection with the Sourcefield. Recurring themes across the deck include sovereignty, cosmic possibility, and earth-rooted wisdom, all expressed through the lens of Arthurian and Celtic mythology. The imagery is dense and richly detailed, inviting slow, attentive looking.
About the creator
Cheryl Yambrach Rose is a portrait painter, visionary artist, and author based in Glastonbury, England and Mt. Shasta, California. She paints in oils on linen, working in a synthesis of old-master style and her own technique of 'tuning in through the eyes'. Her work has been published and exhibited worldwide, including in the Nelson Rockefeller Collection, the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, and the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. Collectors of her work include Gary Zukav and Neale Donald Walsch. As the founder of Neo-Mythic Art®, she draws images from the morphic fields surrounding sacred sites and the vortices within them.
Working with this deck
The Avalon Visions Oracle is well suited to slower, more contemplative sessions where you spend time with one card rather than rushing through a spread. The paintings reveal new layers of detail with each sitting, which suits people who work visually and use imagery as a point of focus. Because the three realms each carry their own themes and archetypes, you can consciously draw from a single realm or work with spreads that bring all three into conversation. The deck pairs naturally with an existing Celtic or Arthurian practice, though it can also stand alone for those who want to explore its symbolism from scratch. Readers who prefer minimalist or abstract imagery may find the density of these paintings takes some time to settle into.
Try a three-card spread where each position represents one realm: one card for the Otherworld, one for the Terrestrial World, and one for the Stellar World — then read the three images together as a single message.

Expert FAQ — Avalon Visions Oracle
Do you need to know Arthurian mythology to use the Avalon Visions Oracle?
Some familiarity with Arthurian and Celtic symbolism genuinely helps here. The deck is structured around specific figures and realms drawn from that tradition, and recognising them makes the cards much easier to read intuitively. That said, the imagery itself is rich enough that you can work with the visual language alone while you build up your knowledge of the mythological background over time.
How does the three-realm structure affect how you read the Avalon Visions Oracle?
The Otherworld, Terrestrial World, and Stellar World each bring a different quality of energy and a different cast of figures to the cards. You can use this structure intentionally by pulling from the deck with a specific realm in mind, or by designing spreads that assign a realm to each position. It adds a layer of contextual meaning that goes beyond a simple card draw, making each reading feel grounded in a larger cosmological framework.
