5.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with this deck on sight., June 7, 2000

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touch drawing help you touch your psychic center, February 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: SoulCards 1 (Cards)

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.
