I have used these cards in the past and have been reunited with another set from the same decade! These are easy to use and understand. You don't even need a guide book because the definitions are on the cards. I would definitely recommend these oracle cards to any type of card reader, whether you are amateur or professional. The Lenormand make a great addition to any Tarot set as they can be used in combination with one another.
this deck is a replacement for one gifted to me by my late mother; it's the best kind of nostalgia! the cards are in their original box, and included both jokers and the instruction booklet. i'm a lucky woman to have found these again!
gypsie rose shipped these promptly, well wrapped to protect them. she even included a trick-or-treat goodie, a keychain of a sailboat that also brought back happy memories.
i highly recommend gypsie rose to anyone looking for great things!
I really enjoy the format of the cards. The descriptions along with the drawings in line with the cards themselves are new to me. Understanding how to read the cards is a tad bit difficult so that's gonna be it's own journey. It seems like an interesting keepsake. The cards were new and in perfect condition and quickly mailed. Thanks!
I love these. After 15 years as a cartomancer these are still a favorite. These are not similar to lenormand, oracle cards or regular playing cards.They are always right If you use them the traditional way & they are actually more accurate than lenormand! I'll give you a hint, the secret to using them is in plain sight!!! Good luck!!!
I had given up on connecting with this deck style (Two prior decks owned). Until I received a deck from this company. I love the old school vibe of these cards. They are easy to read and are very good for a beginner. I highly recommend getting these.
Much simpler than the standard deck of 78 cards but not the same at all. Initially, I purchased this deck thinking that I might be able to more easily remember the short descriptions shown in the advertisement. These are completely different. They are smaller with different meanings, different pictures, and there are only 52 cards. (It did say "playing cards" but apparently that didn't soak in...lol) This is not a bad thing though! I am still happy with the purchase because this is a quick method of divination and I consult my cards regularly. All in all I am pleased with this little deck. :-)
My first deck, (from the early 70s)... got..."lost" by a friend... my second deck got moldy from storage after a move... this is my third deck... that aught to tell you everything you need to know...
I was surprised to find this was an unused deck...did not realize that at the time of purchase. I am so pleased with it.
I ordered these for a friend who lost her original deck after a terrible year of hardship and thought she'd never have these cards again. She loved them when she got them and I thank you so much for carrying these cards, you've made her year.
I look forward to ordering another deck for myself in the near future.
I call this my 'no nonsense' deck because it doesn’t beat around the bush. It gives you the good, the bad, and the ugly, no matter what. A really great, accurate deck.
This is my second set of tarot cards the 1st nothing like these
I like the fact that the cards has the readings/meaning on face of the cards it makes for a easier read, but I wish it did have booklet to get a clearer meaning of the cards that are not so clear or questionable thats why the deck got 4 stars instead of five the little pamphlet they sent is pretty much useless and it would have been nice to have tarot spread sheet with it.
