[IE · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m so disappointed with this. The box and card design is nice and the card stock is good quality, but that is all I like about it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of typos in the book of card meanings which makes it feel so disjointed to read. I expected better from Hay House! Why no proof reading?!The worst thing about this deck is that the card meanings are extremely basic, to the point of being utterly boring. For the ‘creativity’ card (first card I pulled), the first prompt in the book is “what does creativity mean to you?” For the ‘wisdom’ card (second card I pulled), the first prompt in the book is “what does wisdom mean to you?” It’s rather underwhelming… I expected some ‘magic’ in the card meanings as per the title but I felt none *whatsoever* with this guidebook, it’s so flat. I think this would only be suitable as a beginner’s deck, or it may work for a tween / young adult, and even then I would not recommend it. If you have this deck I suggest pulling a card, looking at it deeply and intuiting your message from the card artwork alone - ignore the dull guidebook!
