This 60 cards deck has become one of my favourites instantly - the cards touch the soul and speak with it directly.

The accompanying tiny white book doesnt list any titles or meanings to the cards - the pictures are intuitively understood, somehow their meaning is self-explanatory/evident.

The cards themselves are of the highest quality I've seen yet - good cardboard with shining coating that, in combination with the excellent art, are, IMO, good enough to be hanged on an art gallery's wall.

The cards can be used for both reflection and divination, and I almost immediately started using it for myself in place of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

The one small thing I dont like about this deck is it's somewhat dark colours, which gave a couple of my friends a first impression of being, well, somewhat dark and scary.

The box, which is of good material, doesnt have any mechanism to keep it closed, so I keep the cover closed with a ruber band.

And a clarification - this is not a tarot deck proper, as it appears that some reviewers expect of it to be. Though some of the cards are comparable to tarot cards, it does not derive from the 78 cards tarot decks, doesnt have suits or minor/major arcanas.

The process of "touch drawing" is explained in the booklet that comes with the deck. You will find no major or minor arcana, and the images are not traditional anything. This deck works purely by your intuition, and the process of 'touch drawing' renders patterns and colors that will lead you to find new meanings each time you look at the cards. Don't look for a book to give you assistance; it doesn't have one. That may challenge some card readers new to interpreting by their own intuition, but it's very rewarding once you try. Works with any amount of cards, in any spread. This works well for accessing both the dark and light sides of a person, and can be used with past life spreads as well as looking toward future goals. A good psychic/intuitive development tool.

Using the Soul Cards as a tool to delve into my deeper psyche has been invaluable as I've been tearing down my beliefs and re-examining them. The Soul Cards are by no means an attempt at divination, but to be used to trigger the unconscious to reveal itself to the conscious.

I find that this deck, unusual that it is not ordered in traditional "tarot suits", is excellent for unblocking our intuition by getting rid of our preconceptions that may come with order and language given to tarot cards. Even though I don't use this deck for divination, I have written many short proses using these cards and they are excellent tools for creative inspiration.

I use these cards personally and in groups. I like that there is no booklet telling me what each card 'means'. I have the opportunity to explore the gestalt of what the cards evoke in me. I have combined these cards, movement and collage making to create a fulfilling workshop experience. Thank you Deborah for your beautiful, deep, inspiring work!

The way I added meaning to these cards was by having people pick their favorite card and telling me what it meant. I've found that each person is able to tell me something about the card that I couldn't see before. I now have tenantive meanings for almost all of the cards and I find it really helpful for actually doing readings with them.

Both Soul Decks 1 &2 are excellent , but require a real intuitive approach and use. There are no meanings given,so unlike tarot, where we have become used to many accepted images and traditional meanings,here you must now OPEN UP touch your SPIRIT and truly intuit. It will not be easy at first, but opens you up and expands as far as you want. Not for beginners,probably, and even for the "experienced" takes practice.
I recommend these decks highly, for they will guide us to be real "readers" and touch the Soul of our clients.

I've been reading tarot for many years now and I was window shopping a tarot website just to see the different types of cards available.
When I came across the SoulCards they "spoke" to me like no others have !
I antisipated their arrival, I was not disappointed, the images on these cards are amazing; the impressions and thoghts these cards inspire are truely remakeable. I have finally found my deck after all these years. A true gem for any tarot reader !

I can embrace quite a range of spiritual paths and was interested in the concept of this deck. My problem is with the "art" on these cards which is all so ugly and depressing. Every image is so dreary, foggy and down beat that I needed a good walk and fresh air after looking at them. I will try to give it a few more shots, but something tells me these dreadful images are going straight to the recycle bin. Most of the "people" look like deranged homeless people with extreme mental and hygiene problems. It sort of reminds me of "therapy art" for people in recovery programs or who are mentally challenged. Even the box is poorly constructed and fell apart when I unwrapped it from an enormous, wasteful "overbox".

Really did not care for these cards. I thought it was a book so that was my bad. But even with that the cards were not the size of regular soul collage cards (again probably my bad). The interpretation of the creator was not as creative as some of the cards that I've seen on-line through other soul collage sites. The cards themselves were rather dull. At any rate, I would not recommend them to any of my soul collage buddys.
