I first saw this wonderful deck on a tarot site and soon after purchased the deck. The cards are flexible and thinly coated. The artwork is just like the box says... classical chinese watercolor paintings. Simple , direct , and to the point. I feel in love with them immediately.

The little white booklet that comes with it is quite hefty ( 114 pages) and packed with information. Straight forward ,simple instructions for using the deck right away. It takes an ancient oracle and updates it for modern people. I highly recommend this deck to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Millenium I-Ching, November 5, 2004

This review is from: I-Ching Holitzka Deck (Cards)

Of all the I-Ching card decks I've seen, this one looks forward, not back to some pseudo-ancient time, with a simple and serene beauty that is breathtaking. Online scans of the 64 cards don't do them justice. The gold highlights of the symbols for example, are nigh invisible on a website. This deck continues to grow on me, becoming more fascinating with the passage of time. I'm so taken with it that I bought a second deck, should the first ever wear out. Not too likely, that; with excellent card stock and deep colouring. The little booklet with it is more than adequate for I-Ching beginners, and worthwhile for those more experienced. This is a great I-Ching card deck!

This review is from: I-Ching Holitzka Deck (Cards)

Some years ago I picked up this deck. I was fascinated with the I Ching and thought the cards beautiful. I got into a routine that on each Sunday night I would pick a card to 'see' the coming week. Over this time business was tough and I was facing challenges. The cards I picked seemed to alert me to challenges and gave me some insight into what was going to come at me. To be fair I knew I was in a tough time so the cards certainly corresponded to what was happening. Then one one evening the all consuming card appeared and spoke of the coming change that would rock my world but from which eventually I would come out the other side. In light of what was happening work filled my thoughts of what could possibly happen in the coming week. That Monday, shortly after 4:00 pm I got a call from my partner that she had moved out. No warning. No conversation. Gone. As the card predicted my world was turned upside down however as it also foretold this was only the beginning of a transformation into the most expansive and amazingly good part of my life.

Immediately after that Monday I put the deck aside. I didn't want to know what I would be facing. And when the opportunity presented itself I gave the deck willingly to a friend and have not seen it since. Was it this deck in particular? Were the cards connected to me in some way? I don't know. And sometime I do wonder what my Sunday card would say now. I have seen the deck from time to time on shelves and have been tempted but have never repurchased it.

So this is what I can say about this deck. It is very beautiful. Striking. However in my experience it assumes a connection that is wonderfully and terribly accurate; something you should be aware of before you purchase it.
