Review of the Journey Oracle

Aloha everyone!

This is a review of the rather excellent oracle by Adrienne Trafford.

This box it is in is a lovely hinged box with ribbon and it is like shut and held shut.  Unusual but lovely touch.

Onto the cards, they are of an excellent card stock and the cards are of decent sizing also.  I LOVE the artwork off this deck.

Love the steampunk effect of the card as it is a lady who looks half human and half steampunk borg.

I am drawn to this card a lot myself as the card is so pretty!

Pros

• Sturdy card.
• Beautiful artwork.
• Readings with the cards have been accurate and have shocked people.

Cons

• Unable to read as I am busy gazing at the artwork.

This deck all in all have exceeded my expectations of it.  The artwork is wonderful.  The cardstock is nice and strong.  And, finally, the most important aspect of the cards is the readings.  They’re been accurate and been amazing.

I adore this deck.

Love and hugs.

Review of the Kalachakra Oracle

Namaste all

Here is a review of the Kalachakra oracle by Lo Scarabeo.

The deck is quite small and has 32 cards in the deck.  A couple of examples of the cards.

And there is also 

As you can see from the cards it is a VERY small cards deck, you can read both upright and reversed with the deck.

Pros

• It is interesting to see a deck with other deities than the normal fairies, angels etc.
• The artwork in the cards is lovely and is what attracted me to the oracle, as it is a big out of the norm.

Cons

• Cards are perhaps too small for some people to shuffle.
• Card quality is as a typical Llewellyn deck, so it is not thick.
• Card meanings in the book is wayyyyyy to short to give a professional reading with as you are learning the deck.

I wanted to get this deck as I have been drawn to it, I love the artwork of the deck and I feel it does have purpose, I am sad in the lacking of the information for the interpretations to get to know the card.  Short and sweet, so I would advise to use this deck with another for readings as the energy seems to work a LOT better that way.

I have a whole heap of oracle cards coming in so it will be thick and fast.

Love and hugs

Review of Universal Wisdom Deck

After owning a good number of Blue Angel decks, I thought it was time for another purchase, this time I would get Universal Wisdom by Toni Carmine Solerno.

I was humming and haying with purchasing this deck.  I just bit the bullet and bought the deck.

Well I am happy with my purchase and some of the deck cards are amazing.

This card is adorable and I love the imagery of this card.

Unlike most decks, there are some cards in this deck which are longways rather than straight up and down, but there is a beautiful one way butterfly on the back of the cards which you can use for reference to pack the deck.

Pros

• These cards are VERY simple to read on.
• Accurate.
• Lovely artwork.

Cons

• A good few of the cards have artwork with naked women.

I believe from what I have heard, a lot of Toni’s decks have nudity in them, so if you are selective of nudity, I would suggest to not use this deck for the sheer number of nudity in the cards.

If you don’t mind a bit of flesh in your cards, then this is the deck for you.  A lovely deck, so much so that I have the Gaia deck by the same artist on its way to me.  So looking forward to seeing both cards.

There will be a lapse in the reviews as I am waiting for a haul of decks to come in.

Until next time

Physics demonstrations: Chladni patterns

A good demonstration of a physical phenomenon should be both insightful and exciting.  Sometimes, a demonstration succeeds at both so well that it is practically awe-inspiring.  Such is the case, for me, with the demonstration of Chladni patterns, exotic and beautiful vibration figures that can be displayed with the help of just a little sand.

The demonstration of a couple of Chladni patterns are shown in the video below.

Dearest Marty, my wonderful Prince,

Heinz Fromm, the boss of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (OPC), or Verfassungsschutz, told the daily Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung that the number of right-wing extremists had risen during 2010, continuing a steady rise over the past decade.  “The violent neo-Nazi scene has become stronger," he said. "It has grown again in 2010, by 600 to 5,600 people.”

Addiction and Natural health Series – an Introduction.

Aloha everyone.

This is a blog which will give us an overview about all the natural therapies which are being in addiction and the whole holistic view of addictions.

There will be a series of 7 blogs:

The different types of addiction onset.

Biochemistry of addiction.

Amino Acid therapy of addictions.

Allergies and addiction.

Addiction and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine.)

Addiction and Flower Essence Therapies

Also we will have a blog on Psychic healing as well as a blog on Thought Field Therapy and Seemorg Matrix work.

It looks to be an informative series of blogs on an issue which is close to my heart as I did a review / report on Cocaine and the endocannabinoid system.  So am expecting the biochemistry section be massively detailed.

I am asking you the reader, do you want me to focus on drug & alcohol addiction, or do you want me to include gambling?  Thank you!

Best get starting with my addiction series!!!!

Review of Oracle of the Mermaids

Namaste everyone

After waiting a while for my prize to arrive, I finally have the Oracle of the Mermaids which I won on the deck launch.  Without further ado, we shall begin.

This deck is by Lucy Cavendish with artwork by Selina Fenech.  I adored the artwork of the Wild Wisdom of the Faery, and I needed a mermaid oracle.  As I adored the faery oracle, I looked for a deck, the Doreen Virtue deck didn’t interest me or speak to me.  Then I discovered this deck was soon to be published!  The rest as they say is history!

This deck has the most wonderful artwork which really brings alive this deck and I am doing a feel time review as I am using the deck as we type.  A couple of stunning cards I will show you.

This card is amazing and you can feel the love in this card.

This card really speaks to me as well, maybe it is something to do with the fact that this is related to where I am.

The deck overall is stunning and it has a picture of a mermaid with a golden ribbon on the back of the card and the card stock is nice a flexible.

Pros:

• This deck has amazing art.
• The guidebook divinations have been given spot on readings.

Cons:

• In the guidebook, there is “Reversals” before “Divination”, I use the guidebook to learn the decks.  This is confusing as I am wondering, what and where is the reversals meant to go?!
• Card and guidebook meanings are a bit at odds, as what is written on the card is not mentioned in the information in the guidebook.   Card 9 seems to be highlighted for this.

That really was my issues with this rather amazing (as ever with Lucy’s decks) and wonderful guidance you obtain with this deck.

I shall leave you to view the wonderful art, I am really sorry I had to put the two issues out, but ironing out these minor problems and maybe getting guidance will help me to enjoy and use this deck even better!

Until the next review!
