My Top 5 Fav Decks

 1. Work Your Light

The messages of this deck are deep, the guidebook is very well written. I like the back of the cards, soothing pink and blue, and the imagery of pink roses. They have a soft velvety feel to them, and shuffle easily. Every card has an image, the name of the card, and a message. There are five spreads mentioned in the guidebook, instant guidance, soul callings, holy trinity, decision maker, and cosmic cross.

2. Keepers of the Light

This deck has a very protective feel to it. The messages are full of guidance, and there is also a brief description about each keeper of the light. The back of the cards has a beautiful mustard yellow background, with a blue mandorla in the centre with stars, sri yantra, and vesica piscis with angel wings on it. The cards are glossy. Every card has an image, the name of the keeper of the light, the name of the card, and a message. The artwork is beautiful, n colourful. The deck is gentle, and has a very positive energy. There are two spreads mentioned in the guidebook, the two card spread, and the life path spread.

The artwork, and the messages complement each other very well. The back of the cards is purple. Each card has an image, a number, the name of the card, and three keywords. There are six spreads mentioned in the guidebook, one card a day, three worlds spread, the gateway, beyond the veil, the temple spread, and the Celtic cross.

The messages are full of guidance, and there is also a description about each being or symbol. It has an earthy colour palette, and has a very beautiful minimalistic design. It has a grounding effect. The back of the cards have a deep green background, with a light brown drum, and owl in the centre.

The messages in the guidebook are comprehensive. Every message is further divided into a few keywords, a general message, a relationship message, and a prosperity message. The card stock is amazing, it is matte and the deck shuffles very well. I really like the back of the cards, beautiful n soothing blue. Every card has a beautiful image, the name of the crystal, and a number. The artwork is beautiful and colourful.

_______________________________________________________________

I begin my readings with one or more of the above oracle decks. 

Although I mostly use oracle decks in my readings, there are some situations where using a tarot deck is more helpful. The tarot deck I use is the Animal Tarot Cards.

This deck is colourful, gorgeous, and nature-based. The messages are pretty detailed. Every message is further divided into keywords, the message, and a description about the animal.

Each card has an image, the name of the card, the name of the animal, and a message. The artwork is just beautiful. The cards have a gentle feel to them.
