5.0 out of 5 stars Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle, January 30, 2000

Gena Parkhurst (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle with Cards (Misc.)

I love this book and card deck! Of all the books I've read about crystals, this is the most comprehensive book I've seen! The card deck is great for readings! This book links crystals to the metaphysical and physical parts of human beings in a way that makes so much sense. Now I really understand why crystals affect us.

And the cards are great! Whenever I get a cold or feel down about something, I just get out the deck of cards and give myself a reading from the "Jewels of the Lotus." The reading is always right on track - I come away with insights into the situation and then I make progress by using what I learned.

This is a long overdue book and card deck - it is definitely on my gift list for my favorite people!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Insightful, Very Unique and Amazingly Accurate, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle with Cards (Misc.)

"Jewels Of The Lotus" is one of the finest and most unique of the decks I've seen on the market today. The cards are beautifully styled and the booklet with meanings of each stone was put together with care and precision. Each card has a gemstone centered on it and is surrounded by beautiful colored drawings which have different meanings for each card. I found this style of artwork by Pat Gullet to be colorful and quite appealing. Even with all that going for it wouldn't be as powerful without the accuracy this deck brings to light. I found that Dawn Silver's explanations into the meanings of each card is a very insightful. EVERY reading I do with these cards tells me exactly what is needed for my situation. I sometimes find a one-card reading is all I need to make sense of something in which I need guidance. This makes it more "user-friendly" than a regular tarot deck. This deck goes beyond an average reading. Within the write-up for each stone Ms. Silver also included a section for what each stone can do to improve your health. Each of the many parts of the "Jewels Of The Lotus" including the concept of the gemstone oracle, the artwork, the explanations and the insights to everyday living make this one of the most beautiful and unique sets available today.

5.0 out of 5 stars precise development & uplifting art!, February 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle with Cards (Misc.)

The colors & tones of this deck are SO different from any other products I have purchased/reviewed. A photo of the stone is imposed upon the painted artwork. The 6 stones unique to this set are: Earth Keeper crystal, iolite, apatite, shiva lingam, star quartz, & boulder opal. The division by elements/areas is similar to The Crystal Ally Cards & the Crystal Journey Cards, but is a completely "new" system of association. To my knowledge, there is no other deck so precisely built around a specific discipline. The skandhas are from sacred geometry: cube, icosahedron, (merkabah)star tetrahedron, octahedron & dodecahedron. The lotus blossom on each of the 8 cards per elemental "suit" are that chakra's color: red, orange, yellow, *emerald, *rose, blue, indigo, purple. (note: the heart chakra uses these 2*) There are 10 readings/layouts.
