This book was delightful and insightful to the extent it addressed some personal issues I had been dealing with. It validated some feelings I had been having about myself, other people and certain situations, and some 'inner' knowings that I had had doubts about for some time but a small part of me really believed. It really helped me to recognize my intuitive self.

The cards are colorful and the meanings are easy to remember. The interpretations of the card spreads could have been enhanced if the the author had provided a couple of sample readings for each spread in order to synthesize the information gleaned.

The author should have offered more specific information or detail in the followng areas: if cutting the cards was necessary, exactly 'what' to wrap the cards in and how to store them; it was not clear if you dealt the 'spread' cards off the top of the deck, or if you lay out all 48 cards face down and then 'pick' the designated number of cards for the spread of interest. The author mentioned 'smudging' the cards with incense. Did she mean card by card (one by one) or passing incense around the entire deck or passing the deck through a cloud of smoke from the incense?

Despite the unclear instruction on setting up the cards for use, I did what I 'felt' was right and was amazed at how on-target the cards were.

Each card had an active/passive element associated with it. Again, clarity on these aspects and how they affect interpretation would have been helpful.

A better defined table of the cards in elements and signs and keywords would have been nice. At times, I found I I had to simultaneously supplement the reading of the book with another text on astrological signs.

I liked the compact size of the book - it could easily fit into my purse.

Hopefully there'll be a subsequent, expanded edition that will address these concerns. This is a very worthwhile volume.
