The Akashic Tarot: A 62-card Deck and Guidebook

I adore these cards. They 'hum' with the most wonderful energy, and I am so thrilled - and amazed - with their accuracy. I love how much detail is presented on each card, and that the same care for detail has been shared in the guidebook descriptions. I especially appreciate the inclusion of meanings for both upright and reversed.I find them beautiful to look at and to hold - I like the clean finish on the cards and the weight seems perfect to me - not too thick so as to make shuffling awkward, but sturdier than some others I've seen in the past, that don't stand the test of time and frequent use and tend to split easily.Some of the cards depict scenes that are more 'modern' and I quite like this aspect. As with the nature of The Akashic Records ("all human events, thoughts, words, emotions") I love the inclusion of variety in this deck that encompasses imagery of 'other worldliness' of angelic or mystical energies, such as 'The Queen of Forces', which depicts a beautiful woman standing on a body of water, with both the sun and moon in her command - as well as cards with imagery of 'this world' , such as '1 of Scrolls - On Track', which shows a man in a suit at a train station. All wonderful visions that convey so much by holding the honesty of the human experience, from the seemingly regular to the Divine, and to me, that is all part of the power that these cards possess as a set.I've used them everyday since I received them, and I just continue to love and appreciate them more and more.

This Tarot Deck is the most compelling and accurate Tarot I have ever worked with! Although this deck, like other Tarot, has the suit format and the major and minor arcana, it reaches new levels of energy and inspiration--Akashic Levels! It actually connects you with the Akashic Records! For this reason this deck's depth and meaning offer amazingly far-reaching information and insight! The application of each card is both personal and profound, and the readings you give yourself and others will astound you!The art is stunningly beautiful and each picture is meaningful on several levels. The specific meanings are explained in the extensive accompanying book, but the pictures make the meanings so clear, it becomes easy to read them even without the guidebook. And the book is extremely informative, offering several layouts for different types of readings, as well as explaining how the cards connect with other cards in the placement of the reading, which is something I've never seen in a guidebook before.Another really special element of this deck is the "Akashic Force" which is explained on each card. This is just a sentence or two that suggests an easy technique or way of looking at things that allows you to tap into that energy of the Akashic Realm. It's wonderful--worth experiencing on a daily basis!I highly recommend these cards. The more you use them, the more you feel connected to the unlimited Akashic information that is always available to guide us in every area of our lives. You'll also feel a deepening connection with helpful and loving spirit through the use of these cards! So don't miss out. These cards are beautiful, inspirational, directive, and accurate beyond belief. I think the messages you get from them could actually change your life!

This 62 card deck doesn't quite follow the traditional tarot. For example there is no 0/Fool card. The major arcana starts with a 1/Oracle of Delphi card. There are 22 major arcana cards and 4 suits, Roses, Scrolls, Keys, Forces. Each suit has only 2 court cards, a king and queen and 8 numbered cards and each suit has it's own color. The deck is fully illustrated. The artwork looks to be digital compositing and painting. It has a fairy tale/fantasy feel. The deck is matte finished with plain edges. Though they are matte finished they shuffle smoothly and the colors are quite nice. Like other Hay House products the cards are nice quality and the two part storage box is sturdy. I would have liked gilded card edges as it feels smooth in the hand. The book and cards are easy to understand.The included book is substantial with 221 pages. There are some included spreads and meanings for upright and reverse card positions. There is also an Akashic Force message which is basically a positive affirmation or meditation type message. Here is a random example of an Akashic Force message: Close your eyes and step into the energy of the Queen of Roses. Get to know that caring power and gentle temperament. Feel compassion fill you and notice your desire to bring a loving embrace to yourself and the world. A few cards have a special message which is a usage message that adds an extra layer of meaning such as instructing the reader to look for certain things such as where the person in the card is pointing. For those interested there is info on the two artists who worked on the deck, each having the cards the cards they worked on listed in their info section.Overall I am happy with the deck. As I was one of the pre-order purchasers I ordered it sight unseen with no book preview so I am relieved that the deck is quite nice. I uploaded some pictures to help potential buyers make a decision on whether this deck is what you are searching for. As the pictures were taken with my smartphone the colors in particular may not be totally accurate but at least you can get the feel of the deck. At the writing of this review I paid $11.49 for the deck so it was very reasonably priced thus I have to give it 5 stars for price and quality. Enjoy.

I’m an oracle reader. I use this deck to connect to the record keepers. I love the fusion of information from these images and messages in a tarot lens. Great card stock and sturdy box. Insightful guidebook. Take your time going through the guidebook prior to being in practice with your cards. The information is dense and imo if your a beginner you will need that framework to get started.
