Brilliant, lovely, beautiful
Why only the space for 5 stars here.. these cards are so nice, and so pretty! O.K the boring bit first.. they arrived on time...yae.But the quality given the price.. the book is a study guide by John Holland, he covers tarot, psychic development, numerology, all basic but shows how they link to the cards.The cards... are done by an artist who paints for the gaming industry and they feature students of John Holland.Simple to interpret, and put your own stamp on.I love them and find them easy to work with.N.B they are not small, and they are lovely.. so lay them flat out on a cloth to select and mix up rather than try to shuffle...

Straight to the heart!
When I was led to order this deck last night I knew it would be just what I needed because I only get a deck when I'm led to. But, THE ACCURACY of all 4 readings already done, had me clapping for John Holland, Spirit and My Intuition!This deck is so balanced and it's like it WANTS to help you... it immediately connects to you and gives you a clear read on what you need to know. And I mean CLEAR. By the 2nd read I was already in synch with it intuitively and had insight to a major difficulty I've always battled with in love relationships and my career!Get this Deck if you get nothing else!Blessings x

Beautiful imagery, but not as good as the first
This, John Holland’s second “psychic tarot oracle”, this time related to the Heart (Hay House, 2014), follows the same pattern as the first (Hay House, 2010). Courts and Tens (which numerologically are dropped from a regular tarot structure, hence the “oracle” nomer. Yet, the remaining cards follow standard tarot notions for the most part, with the addition of seven chakra cards. So, a total of 65 cards: 4 suits 1-9 (36), 22 Majors and 7 Chakras.The artwork for the cards is accomplished and colourful, with a broad spectrum of people and situations depicted. Many cards, though, have backgrounds, as opposed to landscapes. For instance, in “Shine” (equivalent to the Sun), we see a beautiful woman with long red hair floating, arms outstretched and chest radiating light. Around her swirl colours from blue to purple to gold, with shining orbs glowing all about. This card speaks to me of joyfully flowing with our passion, and surrendering to the what the Universe brings us moment to moment.I am less impressed with the chakra cards. Each shows a pedestal of the appropriate colour, with a depiction of the relevant symbol. However, I find them rather blocky and ugly, surrounded by darkness. The cards in the first deck were nicer, to my eye, but I guess he had to come up with something a little different the second time around...As for the Aces, they are not particularly obvious - if you glance through the deck, you wouldn’t go “Oh, that’s an Ace” as soon as you saw them. Still, as this Ace of Fire shows, they are interesting. Here, the card is renamed “New Vitality”, and shows a man blowing on panpipes (hmm, Ace of Air?), which look like mini-rockets of chakra-coloured energy (ah yes, the fiery energy of spirit and will).Finally, a pip card, the Nine of Air, renamed “Darkest Fears”. A handsome, dark-skinned man with a goatee and wearing a purple coat (colour of the crown chakra), stands in a blue background, with rays of lighter blue shining out from his crown. Before him are five phases of a solar eclipse, when light is blocked out by shadow for a while. Still, he looks remarkably calm for someone facing his fears. Perhaps he knows these are temporary troubles, which his spirit can overcome...I can’t imagine using this deck if asked for a regular tarot reading, given the “missing” cards. Still, it is an attractive, upbeat oracle, with less of a learning curve because of the tarot tie-in. And for those who don’t like Court cards, it’s clearly a win-win situation.

Thank you John Holland for another superb set of cards ...
Thank you John Holland for another superb set of cards. They assist in the dialogue with other dimensions of thoughts and emotions, supporting whoever cares to pick one. The pictures are clear and pleasing, sith plenty of dtaios to catch the attention and provide further personal interpretation and meaning. The guide is very well conceived too as well as being supportive.

Not happy with photos misleading on reviews
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. It is nice but Gold gilded like one of the reviews lead you to believe ... not happy to see that someone posted it... feels like it is done to misslead people who see it. The seller should not allow it to happen as lot of us look at the reviews before we buy.

Another Fantastic Deck
Another fantastic deck from John Holland... If you loved the original Psychic Tarot you will love this deck as much. The cards are beautiful and the guidebook gives plenty more information on the cards and useful tips for beginners. The artwork is great. The book also gives information on how develop your psychic abilities and there is a at least a paragraph ot two in the book for each card.My only criticism is i think the cards should have been gilded (with maybe Silver instead of Gold this time). I say this because the card stock looks like it may fray a little when used a lot and the gilding would seal the edges of the cards (like in the original deck - Psychic Tarot). The card stock is glossy and a good thickness - not flimsy like some.That's just a minor observation and it won't stop me from buying a back up of this deck (because i will use a lot) just as i did with the original Psychic Tarot.

Great Tarot Deck
Much brighter cards than the previous version. The backs are green though, not purple like they are photographed in the product description. Good hay house card stock. Very happy.

Good for beginners
A little disappointed. Struggling to connect with the cards, I love tarot/oracle and I have around 30 decks. I think maybe these cards would be good for beginners. Advanced might find a little boring and obvious.
