I choose a card as a gauge for the "flavor of the day." Since I've been using them without the resource book, I've learned to trust my intuition for what comes up in connection to the card(s) I've drawn.

These cards bring a lot of joyful energy with them. If you want to "lighten up" your life, these cards are one easy way to tap in to Light Energy.

Dolphins just want to have fun!

This is the first set of non-tarot divination cards I ever bought. I first came across them at a healing center in Glastonbury, where they sat on the table with another few sets of similar kinds of cards. Every morning my cousin and I would sit at the table picking cards as we giggled and ate our breakfast, discussing their meaning as we prepared to start our day. Eventually it became a bit of an obsession, as we picked cards not only at breakfast, but also at dinner and before going to bed: but what fun :-) We both ended up buying a pack before going back home.

The cards are very small and circular, something that I think is very cool, as they fit into the smallest purse, making them very easy to carry around. All cards have swimming dolphins on the back- the same image for all cards. Images is not what these cards are about. All cards have one word or sentence on a white background on the other side. There are 102 cards i.e. 102 of these very brief messages. The messages are so brief (often just one word) and with no booklet to go with them, so you might think that these cards are not that insightful. But you would be wrong. Many of the messages are very intriguing, such as : "Entering Higher Dimensions" or "Holy Macarel" or "Ascending the Spiral". I find that the many unusual messages in these cards seem to shift one's consciousness into a different zone, kicking the linear brain right out of the door. Somehow, the messages, as odd as some of them are, seem to trigger a deep sense of inner knowing.

I used these cards for quite a while without the book, as there wasn't one (the book was published later). After buying the book, it was interesting to read the author's assigned meanings for the cards, as some of them were completely different from the ones I had assigned to them. I still mostly use them without the book, as I feel that these cards have a life of their own. There is almost a sense of irony within these cards, as if the energy they tap into (dolphins?) might be gently teasing the querent. I personally love them for that and have had great fun with this little set over the years. I have passed them around at workshops and they seem to really intrigue most people. An excellent set of little cards.

What's shown here are just the cards themselves (102 divination cards). The manual must be purchased separately.

A friend gave me the Dolphin Divination Cards a few years ago. They are small round cards. Just like a deck of playing cards they have a picture on the outer side. This picture is a lovely one of three Dolphins swimming, a star between each Dolphin and beautiful purple, blue and green colors swirling around. It is a very peaceful picture. On the inside of each of the 102 cards are words or short phrases. The cards come with a small instruction sheet which shows you several different ways to place the cards on a surface when you ask the questions you want answered.

I was stunned by the accuracy and profound insight of these cards. They were astonishingly accurate not only for my own readings, but for readings I did for people I didn't know. I am in complete awe of these cards. Not only are they completely on target, but they are also such fun to use. They are quite small and fit in one's pocket or handbag. The only problem I encountered with the cards is that when I have some people mix them, they have some difficulty because the cards are small and circular. However, I have no trouble mixing them myself.

I simply love these cards and highly recommend them to everyone. I haven't read Ms. Clemens book explaining her cards. I personally don't feel I need them in order to interpret the cards. These cards are purely magical and fun.

First of all, I want to make sure you understand that this little box of cards comes separately from the divination book that was written about them, called A Guide to the Dolphin Divination Cards. The book was written a few years after the cards were designed. You can use the cards without the book but their use is greatly enhanced if you have the book to consult. Also these cards are VERY simple. They are small, about the size of the milk-cap pogs that were so popular with school kids a few years back. They are made of a thick paper similar to tag board and there are 102 of them in the deck. On one side there is a pretty picture of three dolphins swimming in a circle with ocean plants and stars swirling around them. It is the same picture on every card. On the reverse side of each card is a different word or phrase such as Relax, Telepathy, Birthing, Swimming between Hope and Fear, etc. These cards can be used as daily affirmations or "fortunes". They are similar to the little Angel cards that were so common among New Age circles years back. These cards, the guidebook and the concepts are all very New Age and are about happy, happy, joy, joy! There is nothing wrong with that at all, but sometimes I find very New Age things a bit cloying and these can be cloying if not used with the proper state of mind. Creator Nancy Clemens channeled dolphins and got the idea for the cards from the dolphins. What I really like about them is the very simplicity of their nature. They make a wonderful tool for training oneself to be in synch with the unseen, unspoken realms whether of higher spiritual powers or of our own subconscious or unconscious mind. They do not have a lot of cryptic or complex symbolism to learn so one can focus all one's intuitive powers on the simple affirmations and prepare oneself to watch for the unfoldment of the concept within their life. They are good tools for practicing meditation. If used on a regular, disciplined basis they will be a great aid in the growth of one's ability to tap into and follow through with synchronicities. Almost any type of oracle will do this if you develop good habits with it, but this small and simple deck is portable and easily held in the palm of one hand. Learn to use these and then go where they lead, perhaps to the guidebook's more complex delineations, or to more detailed and sophistictated oracles.

I love these cards but the way they are displayed it makes them look like a regular sized deck. They are in fact a small mini deck which does make them difficult to hold and manipulate. I would have given them a 3.5 but decided to go down because of the lack of honesty about their size. Would make a good travel deck. Arrived relatively quickly and in good condition.

I am most dissapointed with my purchase. The cards should be sold in conjuction with the book.

I've had these cards for a long time now and never had the book until recently. I found I just 'knew' what they were telling me. They are always right on target. They are light and fun and yet had profound meaning to what I was looking for. You don't need the book unless you want to read some more meaning. What I mean is it wasn't necessary for me at the time. I later on bought the book looking for new meaning to them maybe things I never thought of. But these have always been one of my favorite decks. Keep them in a bowl and pull one out each day. Enjoy!

The dolphin pictures are beautiful, but they are smaller than the palm of your hand and they look like paper pogs. When you touch the poglike dolphin chips you can feel the energy that it sets off. You will need to order the book in order to find the interpretation of the dolphin cards.

I was gifted with the Dolphin Divination Cards book without the cards and found the book so wonderful in it's wisdom I decided to find the cards to purchase. They were right there on Amazon for me to order. I didn't realize they were so tiny until I opened the package! Being that they are so small, I can carry them just about anywhere and they really do come in handy with great uplifting advice. This is definitely one enjoyable divination tool to add to your collection. It is so easy for anyone to relate to and if you love dolphins and all (well almost all!)things that swim in the sea, you will definitely want a deck of these cards. Why not try them and see for yourself if they "float your boat"? ~Bobbye
