Remarkable Deck!/Visionaryprophetdaniel.......2007-09-25
First off I agree with reviewers: Dr.Mary G,J.Boyer,El.Brujo regarding the deck's beauty and Kat's artwork;however since I am skin-sensitive to actual gold which gives me a second degree burn in the skin. I would have to use latex gloves to handle the cards per se. However after reviewing the deck I was pleased by its artwork and beauty including the gold edges. The book has a good Horseshoe Spread I like which I would like to include in my revised edition of my spreadbook under revision now...And I will give credit to Kat in my books under manuscript now as I have over 90 tarot kits in my research drawers now. This is rated by me as a beginners tarot to start with..Buena Suerte!!!
Very Nice Cards.......2007-08-29
I bought these for the the visual aesthetic and i am 100% pleased. The collages are beautiful and done masterfully. The cards symbolisms are easily seen throughout this deck making it easy for you to understand. If your at all a fan of medieval artwork this set is a winner.
A lovely, lovely tarot deck by an inspired artist.......2007-08-11
Golden Tarot is a favorite tarot deck of many for good reasons. Not only are the production values wonderful, from the gold gilt and box to the card printing quality, but the art is just magnificent. Oh, certainly, there are those who call this "derivative" art -- Kat Black montaged wonderful masterworks to create tarot symbols very in tune with the Waite system of Tarot symbols. But I don't. I know -- from experience -- that montaging is more difficult than original art when you're trying to make it look "original." Kat is a master at this. You'd hardly know -- if you weren't told -- that this is indeed a montage deck. And who cares (if these things bother you)? You can spend hours looking at the images. Since they are also derivative of tarot imagery down through the centuries -- which is important (how valuable is it to have a tarot deck with images that have nothing to do with the archetypal symbolism of the deck?) -- this is an endlessly fascinating and beautiful deck most people will collect, use and treasure. I came across this deck -- along with the other 30 plus decks I've collected -- in the course of 15 years of research into the symbolism, history and legends of the Tarot for my tarot-plotted novel The Last Troubadour. The themes Kat explores come as close to the themes in my book as I found, so this was a delightful "on my desk" deck. I highly recommend it for fun and pleasure.
Almost perfect..........2007-07-05
This deck is a great Medieval art.I would change only one card:"The whell of fortune".This card is not easy to understand because is very different if we compare with the tradicionals decks.
I like this deck.......2007-06-13
Good solid cards. Great collage artwork. I love the gold trim. Not as symbolic as thoth tarot, but has a more worldly feel for more worldly issues. It has a good consistent theme across all the cards.
Book Description
By popular demand,
Doreen Virtue has created a beautiful deck of cards based on her best-selling book Archangels & Ascended Masters. The deck includes gorgeous paintings of 44 male and female cross-cultural deities, such as Ganesha, Merlin, Saint-Germain, Apollo, Pallas Athena, White Buffalo Calf Woman, Jesus, Moses, Yogananda, Green Man, and Kuthumi. The enclosed guidebook gives expanded explanations of each card’s meaning, and a brief history of each ascended master. As with each of Doreen’s oracle-card decks, the messages for each card are positive, accurate, and life-affirming.

Not A Bad Card In The Deck!.......2007-09-08
These cards have a wonderful vibration, all very inspiring, uplifting, encouraging. However, they are not without depth; they are more than just "sweetness and light." There is a suggestion that they can be used in combination with other kinds of Tarot (that can carry the darker undercurrents--necessary energies to be aware of in their own right), and I find there is a good balance that way.
Love it - Accurate, Simple and Enjoyable to work with!.......2007-08-22
I bought this deck to learn more about the Ascended Masters and to begin to work with their energies.
I was actually very surprised to see that world deities are considered ascended masters, along with New Age figures such as El Morya, Saint-Germain and others. In fact, the world deities make up most of the deck. My one complaint is that I actually would have liked the inclusion of more of the specifically "New Age" Ascensionist Masters (I realize many deities have become central Ascended Masters in the Ascension movement, such as Kuan Yin and Buddha, and would not have minded them being included), and seen the world deities go into a completely seperate deck. I was a little dissapointed, because I really did want to learn more about them through this oracle.
Other than that, I love this deck! Like her Goddess Oracle, I found the readings to be extremely accurate right from the get-go. I use these cards along with the Goddess Oracle to get an extremely well-balanced reading - in the accompanying book it gives a very simple method for using multiple oracle decks for one reading, which I recommend everyone give a try.
I would love to see an "expansion pack"-type deck for this one made that focuses more specifically on the New Age Ascended Masters, including the more intergalactic figures such as Ashtar. I feel I could really learn alot from such a product, and that was the original intent of purchasing this one. However, as a lover of world spirituality, it was fun to see many familiar faces in this deck, and to be able to to incorporate that wisdom into my readings and meditation.
Love Doreen Virture's Cards.......2007-07-27
I bought this deck to add to my collection of Doreen's cards. I have them all. These are as beautiful as the rest, I especially love the gold edges, however there are too many of the same cards from previous decks. The artwork is different but it's pretty much the same meanings. I was hoping for something new in this deck and it just doesn't have it. Even so, I will continue to buy Doreen's cards because I love the artwork in them and the positive inspirations.
Oracle cards.......2007-07-07

Customer Reviews:
love these cards.......2007-09-30
I highly recommend these cards as they are accurate, really beautiful and I felt a peaceful beautiful energy while using them. DV gives thorough instructions on how to use the deck and make the most of your readings. I saw the wonderful reviews on Amazon, knowing nothing about mermaids and dolphins, but decided to buy the deck, as it was one of her most popular. I attuned to Dolphin Reiki to enhance the use of these wonderful cards and recommend anyone interested in buying her deck, do the same.
Nice Deck!.......2007-07-16
As someone stated before, I too am a card fanatic. My excuse is that I need a wide variety of cards for my readings which is true, but I probably have over done it since I own close to 25 different sets. Anyway I recently bought this set after reading reviews and giving it some thought. I didn't want to buy this set at first because I didn't really know anything about mermaids and honestly, I thought they looked child-like, however I am a big Doreen Virtue fan and decided I'd go for it. After spending a little time with the cards, I found them to be quite accurate. To me, some of the card meanings are general and redundant, but I still find them to be helpful and accurate! It's a nice set!
Nice deck.......2007-06-28
to add to your collection, but I would recommend the Goddess Oracle cards by Doreen Virtue before this deck -- and I own both...
If You Love Mermaids You'll Love This Deck.......2007-06-27
Ok I admit it, I'm a oracle card junkie. I have probably about 10 different sets or types of oracle/tarot cards if not more. 3 of them are from the Doreen Virtue Collection. This set, the Magical Unicorn set and Healing with Fairies deck. Admittedly there is little variation with regards to card meanings but it doesn't stop me from appreciating any of them any less. The fact is that some people may be attracted to Angel Cards, others may feel an affinity for Mermaids and yet others a love for Unicorns. So while you may not want to buy Doreen's whole collection of card decks she offers enough of a variety that one will surely find something that meets your interest. Then perhaps move on to different line to mix things up a bit.
I am happy to stand corrected but..........2006-05-28
...I am a great Doreen Virtue fan on the whole, but I simply can't help thinking that she is simply regurgitating all the information and thoughts and insights we have heard before, in this pack. For me it is a case of re-packaging what has already been said a million times. The pictures are sweet enough, and very colourful, but I would stick to some of her other cards like the Archangel cards...I feel Doreen has simply thought
" Hmmm what mystical icon can I put on this new set to re-sell as something new ". I am cynical, but can't help thinking she is laughing all the way up her beautifully tailored sleeve as she checks her bank account.
Book Description
The magnificent Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck contains the kabbalistic and astrological attributions described in Aleister Crowley's The Book Of Throth.
Customer Reviews:
genuinine love the deck!.......2007-10-03
avoid the so-called green tints! When I first opened it, I just can't stop thinking that the deck will really enhance the esoteric feel and environment while meditating upon the cards!
Dissatisfied with color quality.......2007-08-08
After reading the book The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien, in which she gives detailed descriptions of the very beautiful artwork on the Thoth deck designed by Aleister Crowley and painted by Lady Francis Harris, I purchased this deck expecting the cards to be as described in the book. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed upon receiving this deck. Most cards were only one color, looking bland. Artwork details were unrecognizable due to the lack of color variation. I returned the deck but am still interested in purchashing the colorful cards described in the book if found.
Uncle Al's legacy.......2007-04-25
Crowley broke ties with his former compatriots at the Golden Dawn and set out to turn the world on its collective ear. Along the way he created this breathtaking deck, with the gracious assistance of Lady Frieda Harris. This is an occult masterpiece of mythic proportions. It is his greatest work, and one of his few not riddled with lies and deceptions. It has been the tool of many a gifted reader and scores of magicians, prognosticators, charlatans, and even a few nefarious scoundrels of magic. It is alpha and omega - for it is both an extension of, and the counterpart to Waite's tarot.
The feel is dark elegance, with heavy usage of blues and gold/yellows, with grays and greens finding their way into the backgrounds. It is not that there is ANY lack of other colors contained herein. The notation is a hint at Crowley's disposition affecting the implied symbolism of such usage in that it guided the direction of creation of this deck. this deck reeks energy, even before you pick it up - but it has a life of its own and you must fit the deck, or it will not 'behave.' Until you experience the bond (or aggravated agitation) possible with this deck, you simply have to guess at how dominant a force this can (and will) be in your readings and ritual use.
This deck was specifically designed for ritual more than simple divination. Each card is a magical statement of human will over nature's wild (untamed) energies. In this way it clashed head on with Waite's vision of the magician in harmony. Just as there are many paths to your destination (whatever that may be) this deck is one of many. It either fits you, or it does not. But s to divinatory quality, none EXISTING [as of this writing] surpass this most excellent tool. I would not suggest this to anyone as a starter deck, as there is far too much occult (hidden) symbolism to learn of The Tarot that the novice cannot grasp from viewing these cards.
Note: This card draws far more heavily on astrological influences than others (Waite for instance) but it is not at all an astrological construct. A great ritual tool that is also a quality divination device if you have a solid foundation of knowledge in the Tarot AND Astrology (and other sciences here unmentioned, should you be so inclined). This is the best deck on the mass market for use with necromancy.
Creepy, Bad Energy.......2007-01-30
I've tried this deck on multiple occasions and find it creepy with bad energy. I think Crowley was a genius but he clearly abused whatever knowledge he was given and that negativity pervades these cards in an uncomfortable way. I'm not saying they're not accurate and this isn't a visually rich, masterful body of work on Crowley's part. But there are other decks out there that bring together the same elements without the strong negativity present here. (Try Haindl instead -- earthy & grounded but just as symbolically rich.)
Must have.......2007-01-10
What to say about this deck. Simply the best, and most complicated. But it does not mean that it is not for beginer. If you begin with this one you probably wont need another for rest of your life.

The Yoga Deck: 50 Poses & Meditations for Body, Mind, & Spirit.......2007-01-29
I love this deck!!!! The breathing exercises are easy. The position are fun. and it's real convenent.
Yoga Deck - awesome in so many ways..........2006-12-29
The Yoga Deck is really great for a number of reasons...
- Unlike a clunky book, the cards are easy to handle and refer to during yoga practice.
- Unlike a yoga video/DVD, the cards allow one to go at one's own pace.
- It's easy to create a yoga routine tailored to one's particular needs at the moment.
- If one only has a few minutes to devote to yoga, it's easy to simply pull one card, or maybe two, and really focus on those specific poses.
- The Yoga Deck is compact and easy to transport, and since yoga requires no more than a little space it's excellent for travel.
I own both the original Yoga Deck and Yoga Deck II and absolutely love them!
Very fun, lots of good info........2006-11-01
My wife and I learned a lot from this deck. It is very fun. The cards are laid out great with just enough info.

Great tool for flexible and personalized pilates work-outs .......2005-04-07
Since I had a baby, I couldn't go to my pilates classes as often as I used to. I have been using this card deck. every week at home and this helped me get back in shape despite a busy schedule with the baby.
This card deck does a great teaching job": on each card 1 position well illustrated and well explained with detailed breathing patterns
Also it offers great advice to tailor the movements to your level of fitness or to your physical limitations; for each position, the author gives variations to increase or decrease the level of difficulty and "listen to your body" comments on how to modify the position if you have back pain for example. This was very useful to me as I had many discomforts after the delivery.
Finally this card deck is so easy to use: assemble the cards as you wish and you can create your own sequences of movements or follow the recommended ones to fit best your schedule or your energy level: each time I had a few minutes, I did squeeze in 15 to 30 min of exercises in between baby feedings and diaper changes!!!
Not as useful as I expected. .......2004-09-30
On one side of the card is a picture, and on the other side is a fairly complete explanation. More pictures would have been better. One side has the exercise number and the other has the name. The name and number on both sides would have been more helpful. Pilates originally was not meant to be a mix-and-match method, but these cards make it into that if you are so inclined. (I generally prefer to stick with the original method because there apparently is a reason for the specific sequence.) For me, with 5 little ones who tend to get into my stuff, I fear them scattering the cards all over, so punching holes in the cards and using rings to hold them in the desired sequence may relieve my scatter fears - and would make it nice for flipping through the routine. All in all, I have not used these cards very much. All that said, even though the routines given are not the original Joseph Pilates routines, they are very nice routines which I enjoy doing, so the cards have been worth the buy just to get those routines.
Pilates Deck a terrific resource!.......2003-12-25
I am a pilates instructor and The Pilates Deck by Shirley Archer is one of the best resources I have found. The deck is perfect for beginners because it very clearly shows the basic body positioning for all exercises. I love that the Deck also includes a series of stretching postures and that it includes more advanced versions of the basic exercises so that the reader may progress. The explanations are succinct and the illustrations easy to emulate on the mat. I have wholeheartedly recommended The Pilates Deck to my students and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in pilates.
p.s. It's also small and light; easy to carry along in a gym bag!
An excellent way to keep up with Pilates on the road!.......2003-12-17
I have found the Pilates Deck to be a great way to keep up with my Pilates workouts while traveling. The deck is easy to stow away when I pack, and it includes suggested workouts for different levels and differing amounts of time. And if I don't have time for one of the suggested workouts, I can make up my own. The cards clearly outline the individual exercises and include illustrations that can help you if you're a novice, and they also include suggestions on how to increase the challenge as your ability increases.
Book Description
Recolored by Mary Hanson-Roberts. Based on the best-selling Universal Waite Tarot, this deck has both the divinatory and reversed interpretations printed right on each card, so it's perfect for beginners. There's no need to lose time and disturb your concentration by referring to a booklet.

Tip-Toe through the Tulips...........................2007-05-22
I have always loved Tarot. I love reading it, studying it, examining the cards and tuning into answers.....Everything about it blows my mind. I have bookcases full of tarot decks and tarot books and black velvet cloth....
I also have these cards..... and they ROCK !!
I use them when I'm away from home during the day. If I need a quick answer to something I witness, or just need an answer to something that pops into my head.....I'm covered. People who see me with these cards are always curious..I hear them thinking, "What is she doing with that deck of cards?" I usually get a chance to explain and I'm pretty sure most of them decide to get a deck of their own. They aren't frightening or scary to tarot virgins..... they're just interesting.... and an extremely, valuable, intuitive tool. I highly recommend them to new and old tarot talkers....get a deck for the car or for your backpack.....You never know when you'll need an answer !!!!
I need more explanation..........2006-11-11
They are a nice quality, but when you turn the cards over do you read both meanings from the card, or just the meaning that appears at the top? Sorry I'm confused about this but it would have been nice to have more instruction. Hope someone can post the answer. Thanks
it's a good start.......2006-10-07
I've been reading for years now, but my daughter is just starting to get interested so I picked this deck up for her. Granted, she's 10. I wasn't going to start her off with the Thoth deck. Anyway, I think this is a great idea and I've never come across an easier teaching deck. The bottom line is, we all have to start somewhere. I would much rather see people pick up this deck and see if they like reading (not everyone uses this form of divination), than have them be intimidated forever and never try to read at all. This is a great place to start, and it removes a lot of the frustration beginning readers encounter. Of course you'll have to delve more deeply into the meanings. That goes without saying. A reader who doesn't start using his/her own tuition will stagnate and will never find meaning in the cards. This deck gives a good start on the path to the myriad meanings one can get from the tarot.
Gave it away.......2006-09-25
Sorry, i hated it. Hardly any translation at all. As a beginner it was useless to me.
Good quality, not sure about the meanings..........2006-03-16
I liked the quality of the cards, and the colors are very nice as well. For beginners it's a good deck because comes with the meanings, but I'm not so sure how much they really help after a few readings.

Book Description
This book and deck provide an important key to past life recall. Each of the 28 images is a visual representation of a particular world culture that will bring into focus the times and places of previous incarnations. The symbols of the Phoenix Deck will trigger unconscious memories that will enable you to see yourself more clearly and help you develop latent talents, identify lessons that must be learned, and explain irrational fears, attractions, and impulses.
This is the first divinatory tool especially created for studying past lives to better understand the present.
Customer Reviews:
My Intuition Was Completely Right!.......2007-01-25
I was drawn to these cards when I first read about them on some random website. I had to have them! After searching every bookstore in all of my neighboring cities and not finding them, I decided to make my first online purchase.
These cards are absolutely amazing! They are much more than I could've hoped for, and well worth shopping online for!
I've done readings on myself, and although they tell me what I already know, they also tell me what I know but was afraid to face. The readings validate my feelings and intuitions.
My friends that I've done readings for (totalling in the 50's) have been absolutely amazed by the accuracy of the cards I've drawn for them. I've only had two people, out of over 50 people, who have said that the reading was not right for them. To me, that is absolutely amazing!
I would recommend these cards to anyone who wants to explore their inner self and essential spirit and soul. These cards are a remarkable tool to help a person begin that journey.
The past is never really past..........2005-01-09
I don't know whether to be alarmed or amused at the reviewers who find this deck limited to one use, but it does make me wonder about their view of work with past lives. This is NOT a deck to tell you that your name was Mary Smith-Jones-Brown and that you were born in Dublin-Cairo-Edinburgh in 1835-1637-3500BCE. Past-life regression and hypnosis may help you establish these things to your satisfaction, but I would caution that even the most competent and ethical of hypnotherapists has to work very hard to avoid influencing subject recall.
This deck identifies 28 times/places/cultures with strongly resonant energy. The cards are exquisitely painted, each in a very different style. The querent looks through the deck, allowing him/herself to be drawn to the most "magnetic" of the images. A reading is comprised of the seven most strongly attractive (in the magnetic sense) cards. The author makes it very clear that this would not be the sum total of a soul's previous journeys; rather, the cards suggest which previous incarnations are the strongest influences on the querent's current life. (So, unless you , your life circumstances, issues and needs never change, repeating readings from time to time is a very useful process.) The readings may also be linked to planetary influences, which I find valuable. Shorter readings combining past life and planetary influences may be done more frequently. Once you get to know the deck, it is very simple, when confronted with a puzzling, unresolved, or "stuck" situation, to draw one (or two or three) cards, asking "What past life influences are most with me now?" I have always gained some illumination from doing this!
This is one of the strongest decks I've workied with in terms of the art and the writing being equally strong. I find the descriptions and interpretations careful and thoughful, with a wealth of detail. I appreciate the way information is presented, allowing the reader and/or querent to feel what is currently resonant -- and I have noticed that my understanding of the information grows and matures as I do. There is plenty of room for further research and learning on the querent's part. The images are particularly useful for connecting to the "feel" of a culture, and they are so beautiful that using the deck is always a wonderful experience.
I would never be able to sum up what has happened even so far in this life with one card reading once, so I can't imagine why anyone would assume the same of several past lives. This is a wonderful deck for continued use over time.
Got as a gift...It was loved by the birthday boy!!1.......2003-08-15
I got it as a birthday gift since the person in question had
demostrated interest in it.
When he opened it he was so glad to find that the cards looked far better than on the web and the book also seem to offer a good reading time.
A Divinitation Jem!.......2003-02-16
This is a wonderfull Oracle! It is so user freindly and simply delightfull! I enjoyed useing the cards better than I ever have the Tarot!. The book flows well and is very insightful. She appeals to the witch in all of us! No matter what path we choose.
This is one of the greatest oracles ever!!.......2002-01-06
This totally answers my questions about my past lives and why I am here. You can do readings on family and friends(just take it seriously). I've been into the new Age\Astrology/Occult stuff for almost 5 years. I strongly reccomend it!! You will be so satisfied

Tarot Cards.......2007-06-08
The Tarot Card set came with a book informing you of each character and minor characters as well. It explained different card layouts with another little book to help interpret what the meaning of each card is. It also comes with a poster to look at for refrence. I think if your just getting into the idea of reading tarot cards this would be the set to start out with. It has all the information needed to get know what your doing. It also goes in depth so you can apply your knowledge and become more advenced with your readings. Since your constantly looking at the meaning of the cards you get know what your talking about pretty quick. It's fun to have around for parties and hanging out. Good times!
A must have.......2007-05-21
This is one of the best decks available. It's well thought out with beautiful artwork, and that is enough to make it a worthy purchase. But it gets better: this deck resonates very well with women, and I often notice that readings with this deck move women more deeply and powerfully than the same reading with another deck. I believe there is also a workbook for this deck, which I've heard good things about.
Excellent deck.......2007-05-18
This is a beautiful deck. I love how it portrays the goddesses of different regions and focuses the minor arcana on the paths of four specific goddesses (Freya for Wands/Staves, Venus for Cups, Isis for Swords, Lakshmi for Pentacles). One slight complaint that the Venus Cup cards look too Medieval for the Roman goddess of beauty and love, but this is beautifully illustrated and easy to use. One of my favorite decks! :D
An interesting, untraditional deck.......2007-02-01
I picked up the goddess tarot some years ago mostly on a lark and a wish to see something new. While I hardly regret adding it to my collection; the deck sadly remains just that for me...a collector's item.
The stock of the cards is good- it is neither too stiff nor too delicate. This would make it very easy to work with if the cards were not nearly perfectly square and oversized in their width. Larger than the average hand, their nearly square shape can make handling them tricky for shuffling or holding steady if you prefer to lay your cards out by holding the deck to concentrate, rather than setting it down and doing so.
The art in this deck is very lovely- but do not expect the Major Arcana to make much sense to you right off if you go by traditional tarot. The majority of them have had their titles and some of their meanings as well changed.
Also if you are one who prefers balance in male and female in their decks, this one will feel very unbalanced to you. True to it's word, this deck is pretty much all about the goddesses in the world. Thus many of the cards traditionally identified with male energies are lacking the according symbolism or have been removed entirely among the major arcana and new ones invented in their place.
If you are a collector or a reader looking for a deck to get a feminine view on matters: the goddess tarot is for you. If you're new to tarot or seeking a traditional deck- it's suggested you look elsewhere.
Great addition to my tarot collection!.......2006-11-20
The Goddess Tarot is by far my favorite tarot deck. This pocket-sized version is a must have for lovers of the full-sized cards! I found the original deck is a little too large to fit comfortably in my purse, but this smaller deck is just right and now can be carried with me everywhere.
The artwork is a little less richly colored but still just as detailed. The cards are just the right size; not too small to shuffle comfortably/effectively but compact enough to travel with daily.
