Something new and special here, a must have deck!, November 9, 2009
This review is from: Archangel Michael Oracle Cards: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook (Cards)
This oracle deck is special in the sense that I felt Archangel Michael's angelic energy around me and in the deck. The deck's guidance sounds like his language speaking to you. It is very real in that sense. The messages are uplifting and encouraging, God is in charge, Prayer will help this situation and Believe and Trust. The situation is already resolved and Have confidence are some others.
The picture for Honor and trust your inner guidance is wonderful it shows a woman and her hearing her guardian angel. Some of the images are old fashioned but the connection is deep on this deck and you will feel like using it and loving it because of the energy exuding from it.
D. Virtue has to be commended for doing a nice job of picking old fashioned to modern images of Lord Michael to use. Somehow this deck offers something the others don't.I have many, if not all of her other decks. I cannot quite pinpoint it. To me, it is a must have deck for its energy and guidance. For example, it lets you know if you can expect children in your future. A question many women ask.

Archangel Michael Oracle Cards, November 13, 2009
This review is from: Archangel Michael Oracle Cards: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook (Cards)
A very strong deck, forceful archangel Michael energy VERY strong indeed! It is a no-nonsense, to-the-point kind of deck. It is art wise also very beautiful and old fashioned. This deck works well for pulling "random" cards, but I feel it is even better in more elaborate spreads. The only thing I personally would see different, is some clues of the cards meaning on them in stead of suggested prayers. But after familiarizing one self with the cards and the strong, pure energy in them, this might be the intuitive way to work them. A good strong tool by all means!

Especially Good for Contemplation, July 20, 2010
This review is from: Archangel Michael Oracle Cards: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook (Cards)
"Each archangel has a specialty, and Michael's is to provide protection...Michael also lends courage and strength, as well as offering guidance through life changes. Additionally, Archangel Michael knows the details of your Divine life purpose, which every person has. This means that you have a mission, based upon your natural talents and interests, that's helpful to others. If you're confused about the purpose or higher meaning of your life, Archangel Michael can give you clarity and guidance." - From the companion book to the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards
With over a dozen oracle decks to her name, angel therapist and author Doreen Virtue now dedicates a set of cards to the powerful--and empowering--heavenly being Archangel Michael.
Like her other decks, the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards feature 44 gilt-edged cards. In this particular deck, an indigo border surrounds each central image with a message from Archangel Michael in white script, as well as a My Prayer at the bottom that you can say as a part of your contemplation.
Some of the messages and prayers found in the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards include:
* Your Inner Guidance Is Real And Trustworthy - My Prayer: Please help me clearly hear, see, feel and know the Divine guidance that I have asked and prayed for. Allow me to keep my ego out of the way so your wisdom can come streaming through me...for my own benefit and for those around me.
* Sense of Humor - My Prayer: Thank you for helping me see the humor in this situation so I can lovingly laugh at human nature. I am willing to view my experience in a new light in order to attract love and healing energy.
* Let Go Of Fear...Now - My Prayer: Archangel Michael, please help me feel safe and deserving of your guidance. Thank you for clearing me of heavy, toxic, or ego-based thoughts or feelings.
* Your Children Are Watched Over By Angels - My Prayer: Dear guardian angels of my children (born and unborn), thank you for watching over my children and ensuring their happiness and safety. Please guide me so that I know the best ways to be a good parent and role model for my own and other people's children.
* Take Your Time Making This Decision - My Prayer: Archangel Michael, please help me stay strong and relaxed as I approach this situation. Remind me to detach and step back, allowing the situation to naturally unfold. Thank you for protecting me.
* It's Time To Leave This Unhealthy Situation - My Prayer: Archangel Michael, what parts of my life do I need to focus on more clearly right now? Thank you for helping me hear your answers and for giving me the courage to make healthy changes in my life.
The 109-page companion booklet to the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards offers brief card interpretations and possible specific meanings, as well as how to perform a reading (with one or multiple decks). The images found in this deck are from multiple artists and you can find their bios and information about ordering prints in the back of the booklet.
I feel this particular Virtue deck is one of her best--from the consistent, beautiful artwork (even though the images are from different artists) to the messages, the scope of life areas to the prayers. For me, the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards have been accurate, gently challenging and comforting.
These cards are ideal for the purpose of meditation, affirmations and prayer by conscious selection. Because of this, I think the Archangel Michael Oracle Cards are better suited for those practices rather than divination via random selection.
