Fantastic deck for readings or messages, June 18, 2006
This review is from: Soul Coaching Oracle Cards: What Your Soul Wants You to Know (Cards)
I have used many decks, and this one is now my favorite! The cards images and words are uplifting and positive, allowing for hope in even dark times of your life.
The booklet with the deck provides affirmative and empowering in-depth messages for each card, but the really great thing about the book is the information about the various ways you can use the cards in readings.

Attractive Cards...But Hit and Miss as an Oracle, June 15, 2006
This review is from: Soul Coaching Oracle Cards: What Your Soul Wants You to Know (Cards)
"The Soul Coaching Oracle Cards can help you quiet your mind as they take you on a wondrous voyage of self-discovery. They'll assist you in clearing inner clutter, thus creating a direct path to your internal universe. You can use these tools to activate your intuition and start realizing your purpose and potential." - From the companion booklet
Denise Linn, author of 15 books including Soul Coaching, has created a 52-card oracle designed to re-connect individuals with their soul. The soul doesn't need coaching, says Linn, but persistently tries to help us remember our light, beauty, and radiance. By using the Soul Coaching Oracle Cards, querent will ideally hear--with clarity--the wisdom their Soul wants to impart.
Each glossy card features a sunny yellow background, a colorful encircled image, and a keyword. Some of the cards you'll find in this deck include:
* Energy
* Purification
* Healing
* Delight
* Power
* Awakening
* Transformation
* Focus
* Voyage
* Silence
* Beginnings
* Enthusiasm
* Acceptance
The 12-page companion booklet to the Soul Coaching Oracle Cards provides a black and white thumbnail of the card as well as the card meaning and message from your Soul. The card keywords are listed alphabetically, making it very easy to find a particular card.
Linn shows readers how to center themselves and prepare for a reading, and gives several spreads for querent to use for themselves or for others.
I've consulted this deck several times and found it to be hit and miss in terms of oracular guidance. The cards are lovely and Linn's wisdom is sound, but sometimes, my card selection didn't seem relevant *at all* to a situation--even in hindsight. This is particularly true when doing several one-card readings about a situation that was bothering me--and one in which resolution was dependent upon other parties.
There were times, however, where the card selection provided solace and clarity.
In my opinion, this attractive deck may be better suited as a meditation, affirmation, or inspirational deck rather than an oracle. The Soul Coaching Oracle Cards would be especially good for healers and therapists to give to their clients for encouragement.

This is the only deck that has spoken to me.., November 1, 2008
This review is from: Soul Coaching Oracle Cards: What Your Soul Wants You to Know (Cards)
I have many tarot and oracle decks, of all of them this is the only deck that has spoken to me with out the book. The cards are beautiful and simple. I think the fewer images on them is why they have been able to speak to me, less clutter to distract me.
I do agree with one post that the cards are very good for personal work, and are great for a healer, which I am. It does not have the swords that can just totally shift a persons energy by seeing the image. The deck if you listen tells you what you need to heal, and how to do it. Sometimes it just takes a bit to get the meaning. I have found it to be a can't see your nose despite your face thing.
They have been spot on for me and the 4 other people I have shown the deck too. Even when the deck gives you a kick in the behind it leaves you with a feeling of hope that it can be overcome.
