Messages From the Light Meditation Deck - 44-Card Oracle Deck for Spiritual Guidance, Self-Discovery & Daily Inspiration | Perfect for Meditation, Journaling & Mindfulness Practice

Okay, first and foremost, this deck delivers what is promised by the title: it's a meditation deck. If you are looking for an oracle-style deck with a thick guidebooks with pages of information, quotes, affirmations, etc. this is not that kind of deck.However, the deck is beautiful- the art is center stage, and it's really lovely. Each image is from a painting- not a digital composite or an ultrra-stylized computer rendering. This is definitely *not* a Photoshop deck or a deck with art that was thrown together or created very quickly to service the guidebook. The deck is *about* the art on each of the cards, and all-in-all, it's a collection of beautiful artwork that will definitely provide a starting point for lots of insight, meditation, journaling, etc.The cards themselves are square shaped (more easily riffle shuffled sideways than vertically) with a single keyword and a beautiful piece of artworkon the front of each card- basic design on the back of each card. Examples of the words on the cards are "Nature", "Power Source", "Transmission", "Birth", "Heart Opening", etc.There is a guidebook but it's VERY small and contains minimal information on each card- just two sentences. The Little White Books that come with Tarot has more information than you'll get in the "Messages From the Light" guidebook.For example, for the card "Love" the Messages From the Light guidebook provides this: "You are loved just as you are. Love others as they are. There is more love in you than can ever be held. Let it flow."That's all you get.But the deck *is* titled "Meditation Deck" so this deck is really meant to be used for meditation, mindfulness, pathworking, etc. It's not an oracle deck. It can be used as one, but this deck is really better for intuitive readers who can look at an image and draw meaning and resonance from it. If you are looking for the kind of deck that includes a chunky guidebook with 2-3 pages of information, etc. this is NOT that deck.I think that's ultimately a good thing- I think I'm so used to my decks coming with an abundance of information that when I opened this deck, the last of accompanying materials threw me for a loop. But as someone who came to Oracle/Tarot as a meditator looking for some images to use as a jumping off point for meditations, this deck is exactly what I have been looking for all this time.
