Guardian Angel Messages Tarot: A 78-Card Deck and Guidebook

Oh, how I love this deck. I watched some very positive reviews of it on youtube, yet I avoided purchasing it because it looked too pink and saccharine for my tastes. However, it grew on me, and kept beckoning to me, and so I followed my inner guidance and ordered it. I am so happy I did. While it IS a very positive, sweet deck, it nevertheless really does convey the traditional meanings of the cards, albeit in a gentle way. Sometimes that's needed. My daughter, for example, wanted a tarot reading but even the gentlest of my other decks (for example, the Anna K deck or the Oceanic deck) inevitably had at least one or more images that she found either scary or too mature. Adults sometimes have need of a gentler deck as well. We want the truth, we want our blind spots revealed to us so we can work on them, but we might not be in an emotional place where we can "take" a confrontational reading. I know this is true of me at times and sometimes I've avoided doing a reading for myself as a result; I was not emotionally strong enough to face whatever might come up. With the Guardian Angel Tarot, I find the information comes through quite clearly, but in a very gentle way, giving as positive a spin as possible. And isn't that the purpose of Tarot-- to help us transform our lives in a positive direction? If occasionally the message on the card seems superficial at first glance, I find meditating on the card or cards I have chosen reveals increasingly deeper meanings. The little guidebook adds additional insights to the cards as well. Yes, there are messages printed right on the cards. And they do contain the core of the traditional meanings. At first I wasn't sure I liked the messages being on there, but I no longer find them limiting, more like springboards for my own insights, or conversations with a client. Because of the messages, I find it difficult to do readings with more than a few cards with this deck, but my style has been evolving that way lately anyway and I rarely do complicated, multi-card spreads. The major arcana are numbered, so while they have different names, you can easily correlate them with the traditional names. The suits and court cards are renamed as well, but again, it's fairly easily to "translate" them into the traditional names. The artwork is just beautiful. And the cards are printed on impressively thick card stock with gold edges. They are a bit large. I love the box! So many boxes that Tarot cards come in are just a waste and have to be jettisoned, whereas this box is sturdy and elegant enough to use as permanent storage for the cards. I love the bit of glitter on the box. You can just sense that this deck was made with love. It's like the gentle voice of your best friend, mother, grandmother, or other wise guide. Great deck!

I love the Guardian Angel tarot cards. They are easy to read, gentle, and absolutely beautiful. I think they are great for a beginner of card reading. Personally, I connected with them real well. They aren't conventional tarot cards but have a style of their own, in that, all the meanings are gentle and uplifting. I have been reading cards for years. When I give readings, I have various decks to choose from according to my intuition, the kind of reading and what the client is requesting. I do use regular tarot cards, for example rider waite tarot cards and sometimes use more than one deck or just choose a different type of cards. I have a number of Doreen Virtues cards, I just happen to be attracted to these particular cards and I think this will be one of my favorite decks. I can just look at the pictures and pick up on the angel energy of these cards and intuitively read. Regular tarot cards are not scary. The ones that may look frightening usually are a wake up call or telling you about an obstacle you need to overcome. It's all a matter of what you are intuitively drawn to and your choice.

I had the reprint of this deck post Doreen virtue's leaving the New Age movement but gifted it to a friend and that it immediately went out of print so I'm so happy I found it for a reasonable price and the seller did a phenomenal job with making sure that it arrived me safely and even arrived early highly recommend going through this vendor for anyone that wants out of print stock

Very beautiful cards, love the pictures and the good quality of the cards, stock is sturdy, well pack in a pretty box and a companion book. I am a Professional Tarot Reader 35+ years in the trade, I like the cards because I find them very useful for some sensitive Clients that do not like swords, death, tower, devil and some other "strong cards", most of the times this cards are not as dramatic as "people may think" but it help some clients feel better and that is Ok, but I use them as any 78 Tarot format, if is something the client needs to know I will tell them like a "warning word", just I pick my words very carefully. The fact than the author keeps the format of the Rider W. Deck was the selling point for me because the cards are beautiful and sensitive yet truth to the original Tarot. It may be a little difficult these cards for a Tarot beginner that intends to get in the real World of the Trade as are many things that you need to know if you want to be a Pro. like the meanings of numbers, colors, direction of faces, correlations with astrology signs as well as the skin color of the Court Cards that just the Rider and Marseille can give you, in the other hand you can start with these and expand your knowledge in future with the Rider.

A more gentle tarot, toning down some of the harsh traditional images of some cards, while still conveying the right message. Many images have a modern take on people in today's world, which can make these more relatable and easier to read and would be great for a beginner or any reader that enjoys this style of art and spiritual messages of a more sensitive touch. The keywords are on point. A positive deck with beautiful, bright and clear art work, with images and fonts that are clear and easy to read. No need to put the glasses on to try to pick up tiny details! I've only had this deck for a few days but from what I've seen so far, the meanings in the booklet seem supportive and inspirational, with a description of each card, angel messages for each card, as well as additional meanings. If you enjoy Angel style decks, this is perfect. Beautiful.

Heel leuke wegwijzer kaarten. Gebruik ze elke dag

These tarot cards are stunning. I have had oracle cards before but this is my first tarot deck and they are quite simply one of the best buys I have made. Some people are a little scared by tarot cards, but have no fear with these - they are not dark or intimidating in any way. They are printed on very good quality card, the edges are gold, the artwork on each card is lovely and almost Victorian in design. They come packed in a well made box with an instruction book to help you interpret the meaning of each card, which in time, as you work with them, you'll be able to put aside and use your own intuition. Having used them for a few days now, the energy is light and delicate and I found it a very feminine energy, so I wouldn't imagine many men rushing to use to use them - but, hey, why not!! It's all about what you want and are comfortable with. All in all, I am delighted with these cards and am so glad these are the ones I decided to get. Let's be honest, you really can't go wrong with anything created by Doreen Virtue, so enjoy these very special cards.

Très beau jeu de qualité dans cette version car la version française est un désastre. J'adore le style des cartes qui me rappelle des images que je voyais petite, chez mes grands-parents. Le dessus du coffret et du livret sont pailletés. les cartes sont épaisses, de qualité, grandes, la tranche dorée. Le livret est très bien fait, ça rejoint les interprétations du tarot même si c'est dit de façon très douce si on connaît bien le tarot on sait en comprendre tous les sens nécessaires et la douceur ça fait du bien dans ce monde. Mais son on commence avec la tarot il y a le principal pour bien débuter tout en douceur. Vraiment un très beau coffret que je recommande pour ceux qui se débrouillent en anglais .

Um DECK lindíssimo! As cartas são de papelão mais finas, porém lindíssimo.
