"Dream and Destiny:
Spirit Forging in the Future Culture
"Our cusp culture is borne into an age of deep transformation, ripe with new avenues for expression and artistic evolution. Fueled by the worldwideweb and vast evolutions in the quality of communications technologies, artists everywhere are being empowered to share their work with an increasingly global audience. Nodes, collectives, forums and galleries are emerging to represent countries, continents and even newly globalized art culture movements. It is a time potentized with the possibility of a civilization reconnected with its imaginal roots in the dreamy expanses of the limitless human imagination. Art culture represents a return to a resacrelized, respiritualized and revitalized future in which the engines of technoindustrial materialism redirect its energies from plastic toys and thing fetishism to immersive multimedia environments and a reconnection with the natural world.
"The entheo art microgallery is a glinting reflection of the emerging planetary art culture. This microgallery and its unfolding galactik trading card oracle complex is a celebration of the inspired spirit of the creative imagination, a collective expression of spirit art at the cusp of culture.
"The deck is a pantheon of magical spirits, angels, aliens and entities as well as a splendored vista of sacred landscapes, blessed realms and faieried kindoms. Connected with the tarot, i ching, and dreamspell, this synergetic oracle connects the open spirit of divination with a creatively self-directed process integrating intentionality into peoples own empowered decision making experience. The cards operate as free agents gracing altars and mantles, walls and warehouses, fridges and lockers and, when combined, form a superstructure linking language with life and promoting the creative evolution of the human spirit.
"For seven years this non-profit project has grown slowly and with great intention. Each year it has been completely redesigned and expanded. Small print runs which have been hand cut with a razor blade brings a DIY sensibility to the creation of ritual art objects. Last autumn 200 sets of the seventh edition galactik trading card decks were published, half being given away and half being sold to repay no-interest loans to cover printing and design costs. Now the final 32 decks and 20 booster sets from this edition are being released into the world, seeking homes in the four directions. The project also seeks R&D support in the form of no-interest loans to continue its evolution.
"There is a new web platform hosting the fleet.
Decks and Booster packs can be purchased direct at the elfintome website.
