5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Oracle, July 25, 2005

By	Janet Boyer "JanetBoyer.com" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"Often termed the `language of light', Sacred Geometry has the ability to balance human energy fields and contains a complex informational system that can be used to access healing and growth in many dimensions." -Francene Hart

When you have constructed a mandala, walked through a labyrinth, visited a pyramid, beheld a medicine wheel or engaged in a spiral dance, you have felt the effects of Sacred Geometry. According to artist and author Francene Hart, Sacred Geometry in an ancient science and a sacred language-a study of shape and form, wave and vibration, microcosm and macrocosm. It is geometric archetypal patterns that gather and repeat, echoing the oneness of All That Is.

Sacred Geometry also serves as a bridge between the left and right brain, the Yang and the Yin. This "blueprint for all creation" is a complex informational system-a vehicle to transcend duality consciousness, move beyond third-dimensional reality, balance human energy fields, and evolve consciously.

After years of studying the wisdom of ancient mystery schools and secret societies-as well as receiving and heeding intuitive Guidance-artist Francene Hart created the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck as a means for accessing the holographic view of past, present and future. Her intent is for individuals to find their personal place in this holographic universe and gain insights that are outside the scope of the rational Western model.

The Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck contains 64 cards, each with a specific theme. The expression of this "language of light" is through shamanic-like illustrations, familiar geometric patterns, spiritual symbols, and simple shapes. Some of the cards and themes in this deck:

* Vesica Piscis - Birth Portal
* Sri Yantra - Meditation
* Square - Earth, Male
* Medicine Wheel - Connection to Nature
* DNA - Conscious Evolution
* Leonardo's Vitruvious Man - Divinity of Humankind
* Dodecahedron - Divine Thought
* Earth Grid - Fellowship
* Kabbalah - Tree of Life
* Steam Cave - Elemental Forces

This boxed set also includes a 143-page companion book, which features seven spreads-described at length-and a comprehensive treatment of each card in both the upright and reversed position. Some cards are symmetrical and harmonious, and thus mean the same thing upright and reversed.

Every time I've used the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck, I have found it to be amazingly insightful and accurate-regardless if I used the cards in a complex spread or just for a one card meditation. In my experience with Cartomancy, I have found that when one individual creates both the images and divinatory meanings of an oracle or tarot deck, it somehow carries more intuitive "weight". Perhaps because the years of study and wisdom are infused into the whole of the oracle-both art and meaning-this combination really packs a wallop in terms of delivering clear, powerful Guidance. The Sacred Geometry Deck is no exception.

If you enjoy exploring the realm of Sacred Geometry and are seeking integration, balance, and increased awareness, this deck and book will be a wonderful companion on your journey to conscious growth and personal empowerment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cards pictured are in the minority..., February 6, 2004

By	S. Wussow (WI, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are looking for a deck based on the artwork of Francine Hart, this would not be it. The cards pictured on the cover are in the minority - the majority are pen-and-ink drawings (and not very impressive ones) of shapes pertaining to sacred geometry - circles laid out in certain patterns, etc.

The accompanying book is a "regular" tarot guide: "This card in an upright position means X, reversed it means Y."

As a basic tarot, based on sacred geometry shapes, it fulfills the requirements.

As a tool for personal interpretation and introspection, triggered by the incredible artwork of Francine Hart and based on *her* interpretation of sacred geometry, it falls far short. I will be returning mine. If you are looking for images of her artwork, better to buy greeting cards from her site.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for developing intuition & creativity reading skills, July 10, 2003

By	K. Skiles "koka86" (La Crosse, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

... As an artist, I find these cards to be great for readings dealing with creativity and the link between creativity, the divine, and manifestation. I found the book to be a bit lacking, with explanations that seemed too contrived, in complete contrast to the magic and intuitiveness of the images. I think that as an artist, Francene Hart, couldn't get distanced enough from her own images to write appropriate explanations.
This is a blessing in disguise in that it forced me to develop more intuitive reading skills, something that I wanted to do anyway. I wrote key words (that seemed appropriate) from the book on the actual cards and now use only the key words. By not relying on the book text, I find that I get much more appropriate visual images and messages through meditation.
The images are beautiful. I only disliked one card, the one image that she chose from another artist, Leonardo da Vinci. If I wanted his artwork, I'd buy a print of it. I wanted hers.
