5.0 out of 5 stars
With its beautiful images inspired by Feng Shui symbols, November 11, 2001
This review is from: Feng Shui Tarot Deck (Cards)
Peter and Eileen Connolly have artfully collaborated to produce a tarot deck that superbly combines the traditional elements of tarot divination with an ancient Chinese spiritual wisdom embodying the principles of Form School Feng Shui (balancing environment, surroundings, materials, and colors). This unique tarot deck is based on the Feng Shui philosophy that a "chi" or flow of energy can be directed in certain ways by the optimal placement of large or small items to balance yin and yang, thereby creating a more favorable environment for people living or working in a particular space. With its beautiful images inspired by Feng Shui symbols and Chinese art enhancing the tarot experience, Feng Shui Tarot is a very highly recommended addition students of metaphysics in general, and to any tarot reader's collection in particular.

...er, there IS a book to go with this deck -, September 19, 2005
This review is from: Feng Shui Tarot Deck (Cards)
(See subject.) Why is it not listed here??!? It is called "Feng Shui Tarot" by Eileen Connolly and Peter Paul connolly.
[I have found it here at Amazon it if you serch for Books / Feng Shui Tarot - but no link to it / them from here, and no picture or review]
US Games System has published it a few months ago. - So it may have just been available to the previous reviewer by June...
Eileen Connolly actually finished it within the year of the deck's publication and US Games sat on it for two years. It is available through their site, why not here? It EXPLAINS much of what is new and different and seemingly inscrutable, written both by Eileen Connolly and Peter Paul Connolly her son, the artist of both her decks.
The book also applies to ALL Tarot decks and gives new insights into all the cards from a non-religious-seeming perspective, a common barrier to Connolly's work for some students.
The deck is as beautiful and original as it is thought out and balanced. The book is a thoughtful eye-opener as well, integrating the concepts of 'Western' Tarot with 'Eastern' five element symbology, a treat for a true student of Tarot and / or Feng Shui. My only complaint it that it is too short! Yet that also makes it easy to carry with the deck.

Buy the Cards and the Book, May 15, 2007
This review is from: Feng Shui Tarot Deck (Cards)
I own this tarot deck and the companion book. You really need both to understand the deck. The school of feng shui (wind-water) that this deck focuses on is the form school. You can't feng shui your home or garden with the cards. It simply uses symbols common in feng shui---like the 4 celestial animals. If you love Asian styled art, you'll love this deck. If you ever felt slightly uncomfortable owning a tarot deck that had creepy images of the death card and the devil card, you will truly enjoy this deck because it has artistically drawn images of "transition" and "materialism." The cards are well made and fun to shuffle. This would make a nice gift for people who enjoy and/or collect cards.
