5.0 out of 5 stars Doreen's Twelfth (and Remarkable) Oracle Deck December 8, 2008

By Janet Boyer HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Cards

"Angel Therapy is a powerfully effective and safe healing modality that helps you release fears or other emotional bocks, receive guidance about your life purpose and other issues, and heal your body and life." - From the companion booklet

In her twelfth oracle deck, metaphysical therapist Doreen Virtue offers yet another tool enabling individuals to forge stronger connections to their angels, obtain angelic guidance, and gently heal energetic blockages. A 44-card deck edged in the now-customary shiny gilt, Angel Therapy Oracle Cards strongly features Archangels Michael and Raphael, but also encompass a wide-range of healing and empowering themes.

From cutting energetic cords to healing addictions, clearing the chakras to manifestation, each of the Angel Therapy Oracle Cards depicts an instructive message below vibrant artwork, with the card theme at the top. Here are a few of the themes and messages from this deck:

* You Are Profoundly Clairvoyant - Trust what you see in your mind's eye as well as with your physical sight, for your spiritual vision helps you with healing, teaching, and guidance.

* Release - Work with Archangel Michael to let go of what no longer serves you or your purpose.

* Indigo - The person you're inquiring about is an "Indigo", meaning a highly sensitive, natural-born leader.

* Books - Your life purpose involves writing, reading, editing, or selling spiritually based books.

* Shield Yourself - Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.

* Power Animal - Your animal spirit guide is a guardian to you and is helping you with this situation....

* If You Get Nervous, Focus on Service - Put your entire intention on answering the question "How can I make the world a better place?" and the Law of Attraction will automatically take care of your needs.

* Past-Life Issue - This situation has a basis in one of your previous lifetimes. Ask your angels to help you remember, release, learn, and heal from your past experiences.

The 135-page companion book elaborates on each card meaning, and provides a brief overview of deck clearing, consecration, preparing for guidance, and performing readings. Because all of Virtue's decks are the same size, you can even shuffle them together for enhanced combined readings.

As with her previous deck (Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards), the gorgeous artwork in the Angel Therapy Oracle Cards is quite cohesive compared to earlier decks, displaying paintings from seventeen different artists whose bios and websites are mentioned in the back of the companion booklet. (I was thrilled to see two paintings from one of my favorite artists in this deck--U.K. artist Josephine Wall).

My only problem with this deck, as well as a few recent Hay House decks, is that the top of the box (glossy finish) is far too snug; it's as if all the air has been compressed out, making it very difficult to open. I was unable to open this box at first, so I asked my husband to try. After a few minutes of struggle, he couldn't open it either! (We didn't want to handle the box too strongly with fear of damaging it.)

Finally, after inserting a butter knife around the edges and numerous attempts at teasing the lid off, I was successful. However, I'll have to store this particular deck in special bag for easier access. (Those who have arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome or severe tendonitis will have great trouble opening this "healing" deck unfortunately...)

I have used the Angel Therapy Oracle Cards three times already and, despite thorough shuffling, received amazingly consistent and insightful advice about paying attention to dream symbols and my frequent clairvoyant images (drawing the Your Are Profoundly Clairvoyant card each time).

I think this particular Virtue deck is one of the most (if not THE most) attractive of them all, with particular emphasis on equipping individuals to blossom into the highest version of themselves, as well as highlighting innate gifts, opportunities for service, and forms of psychic protection.

Angel Therapy Oracle Cards also identifies restrictive perspectives requiring release and relationships that may need tending, as well as ways of holistic healing.

I highly recommend this lovely deck to those who enjoy Doreen Virtue's approach, as well as therapists, healers, teachers and seekers desiring to elevate consciousness, alleviate suffering and nurture the whole person.

5.0 out of 5 stars straight to the point October 29, 2008

By Carla Kaiser

Format:Cards

I am a huge fan of Doreen Virtue, and have several of her decks. I started not to buy this one because I was afraid it would be repetitive, since I already have 3 of her other decks. (It isn't.) It has the gold edges just like her Ascended Masters deck. I am an experienced reader, and I have a hard time being objective when I do tarot readings for myself. This is not a tarot deck, and it has obvious meanings that don't change when combined with other cards. I love using it for myself, and I am also going to use it for clients, who are very drawn to card decks with gold edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing experience October 16, 2008

By Cherri

Format:Cards

I just ordered this deck not seeing many pictures of the cards. I opened the pack, looked through the deck and did a little meditational one-card reading for guidance for the day. I realized my thoughts were on the topic of lightworkers and that I felt I had the characteristics of one but wished I had confirmation that yep, that's me.

I got back to focusing on picking a card from the deck that was my angelic message for the day. I closed my eyes, picked a card, turned it over and it was "Earth Angel - You are a lightworker who has come to Earth to teach about love."

This was my first reading with this deck and I just flipped out. Getting that card was absolute confirmation that my thinking was on track. This exactly answered my question!

These cards seem to answer the most spiritual questions you may have. Of course I highly recommend them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible! November 23, 2008

By Marie Bess

Format:Cards

I sat down, on a Wednesday, with my new Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue and asked for assistance with a persistent issue in my life. I chose the card "God Box". A God Box is a box that you put, in writing, your prayers. It is very similar to a prayer box that you can wear on a chain around your neck. When I picked the card I thought it was a wonderful idea and was very grateful for the suggestion. I asked the angels to help me find the most perfect God Box for my desk. On Friday of the same week, I met with my two close friends as it was my birthday and they were taking me out for dinner. One of my friends asked me to open my gift from her. I was so delighted to find a beautiful box with angel wings as a cover and an angel feather inside the box. On the outside of the box is engraved: "God sends His love and blessings...with wings of angels." Thank you, Doreen Virtue, for these new oracle cards and your dedication to helping us connect with God and His angels!

4.0 out of 5 stars If You're Looking For A Therapist In The Form Of Oracle Cards... February 8, 2009

By Danielle

Format:Cards

My experiences with Oracle Cards are mostly with Doreen Virtue sets. The first I bought was Saints and Angels as I totally fell in love with how beautiful the illustrations were and also with the theme of the deck. With Angel Therapy I feel as though it explains what was not thoroughly explainable using her other deck of Saints and Angels.

The illustrations of Angel Therapy are nice. I believe what makes the deck alluring is because of its gilded edges. I like Angel Therapy because it gives you instructions on what to do about the situation... like its your best girlfriend who is just so wise helping you out. I like consulting this deck in the morning as it gives you a sense of peace... as if you can control whatever is going to come your way and you can do it with a smile because you got some help ahead of time.

I think everyone should own an Oracle deck, especially Doreen's because her decks always give you a sense of optimism. From her decks I truly understand that good and evil do exist in the same space but we always have the chance to choose the path of good. I use her decks along with playing cards or Tarot cards because playing cards or Tarot cards can be so to the point and harsh and negative- invokes a lot of paranoia through fear. Her cards tell you the same message as what the Tarot may say but she gives you the positive alternative you should choose. If I didn't have that type of guidance in using cartomancy or with the Tarot, I think I would have made some very wrong base decisions in the past.

The only downside about this deck is that the deck isn't a volumous one, so when you shuffle them its hard to shuffle. I don't know if there are just less cards in this deck or if they're pretty thin....

+#+#+#+#+#
Update: I've had these cards for a little of two months or more and recently these cards have really opened up to me and become fully accurate. I inquired with this deck about a work related issue that's been pressing me for some time. Many times, when asking about it, I would get the "Be Willing to Forgive" card. One time, before I did a reading I said "I hope that Forgive card doesn't show up again", and it did. The book tells you what you need to do to be on your path to forgiveness which is praying to Archangel Raphael. I'm not big into praying, especially for myself, but because this card would never go away I had to do it. After doing so, my work situation seemed more bearable but furthermore this card has not shown up in any readings pertaining to the same question since then.

Another neat thing is that recently we went to a seminar for work. Guess what card I pull up for that day, Workshops and Seminars! Ha! It says "You're also guided to attend workshops to further your spiritual path and education... ask Archangel Raphael to support everything in this endeavor- including tuition fees, transportation, lodging, time off from work, and so forth" This was so neat because the seminar was free and we got transportation from work to attend and get paid for it.

There have been other really wonderfully accurate readings from this deck that I am looking to purchase one other Doreen Virtue deck to compliment this one. I never feel alone with this deck and makes me contemplate what's really on the other side. Read more ›
