Beautiful and straight to the point!, November 7, 2010
This review is from: The Answer is Simple Oracle Cards (Cards)
The reviews for these cards are all spot on, but I thought I might add something:
The cards are one sided (the back of every card is the same bird image that graces the cover of the box). The side with the "message" is simple- a few words such as "Lend a Hand", "Accept Love", "Look Forward", "Have Fun", and even "Get over yourself" with a gorgeous image (these cards are SO lovely!) that illustrates the idea. No other words- no explanations, no quotes.
The little book (which is the size of a gift book- very generous) that comes with the cards goes into each card with more depth, but the cards themselves are as simple as can be. Personally, I love this because it means I can read into the card as I need to. But I know some people prefer double-sided cards, or cards that have a little bit of information on the backs sharing insight to their meaning. The illustrations are really outstanding.
I just can't say enough about this deck. It's gorgeous, bright, illuminating, straight forward, and so insightful. The cards themselves are thick, glossy 5" x 3.5 " and feel great in the hand. I "collect" decks, especially the one Hay House puts out (I especially love
Power Thought Cards (Beautiful Card Deck) and
Wisdom Cards), and this has to be my favorite so far. Beautiful, insightful, doesn't lean in any "spiritual" direction or philosophy. You don't need to be familiar with Sonia Choquette's writing or life approach to be able to fully use these cards.
These cards are perfect for everyone, whether you need just a quick answer to a dilemma, need a creative "push", need some insight into a situation, or just an idea to meditate and focus on. If you want to delve deeper into the meanings of the cards, you can, but if you just want a simple "spark", this is your deck. I'm truly in love with these cards.

Simple maybe, beautiful absolutely!, March 30, 2009
This review is from: The Answer is Simple Oracle Cards (Cards)
I got these cards yesterday. I've had many different kinds of oracle cards but these are totally different. As the title says they are simple, clearcut, and wonderfully colorful cards. The colors please the eyes and feel so positive to hold and to use! I was really impressed with the book and the written meanings of each of the cards! I feel like Sonia really meditated and planned each card lovingly and honestly. These are my new favorites!!!

My Favourite Cards!, November 8, 2009
This review is from: The Answer is Simple Oracle Cards (Cards)
I bought these cards after being inspired by Sonia Choquette on a Hay House cruise around Alaska. Although you need to look up the meanings of the short words on each card in the accompanying booklet, the information given is practical, well-explained and pertinent. The illustrations are beautiful. These are definately my favourite cards!
