Crystal Spirits Oracle: A 58-Card Deck and Guidebook for Crystal Healing Messages, Divination, Clarity, and Spiritual Guidance Cards – August 6, 2019

Pros:-Gorgeous aesthetic that captures how each stone looks, without having the stone compete with the background.-The cards are smaller than some of her previous decks. This makes it easy to shuffle 58 cards, and easy to travel with.-They seem to be easy to connect with spiritually. So far, cursory readings have been accurate and inspiring.-The guidebook is one of the most informative guidebooks that the author has ever published. It has 215 pages of card interpretations and a 40 page introduction. For example, The Good Tarot’s (an excellent tarot deck) guidebook only had 2 to 4 sentences/affirmations for each card. This deck’s guidebook has 2 to 4 pages for each card that include practical sections, such as. “Essential Meaning,” “Relationship Message,” “Prosperity Message,” and “Crystal Meditation.”-The interpretations for the stones and crystals are innovative and refreshing.-The box closes magnetically and has a pretty white ribbon to hold the cards in place. This makes it easy to open and close the box.Cons:-No cons for me. But, some might not like that each stone or crystal also includes a facial image superimposed on the stone. I like it, as it brings each stone more to life.

I knew this would be my favourite deck the moment I knew it was coming out months ago. It did not disappoint! These are the best cards hands down, and I say that with nineteen oracle decks including many which are from Collette. I'm sure there will be others who disagree, cards don't resonate with everyone but if you feel drawn to buy them - do it. The card box is smaller than the Mystic Shaman cards which makes it easier to carry around. The deck itself is on the thin side but I find it easier to shuffle. The art is absolutely stunning. The best is the book, it combines the multiple meaning sections that Wisdom of the Oracle has, including keywords, etc. It also has a section for crystal mediation which teaches you the benefits of the crystal and how to use it. I love this deck with all the tiny pieces of my heart. My first spread was tonight and was a sort of interview; It hit every single thing I'm wanting to work on, learn, or improve. Hooray for another great addition. Also bonus if you have a lot of the crystals in the deck, great way to pull a daily/weekly card and carry that crystal with you.

Pulling this deck out of the Amazon box I could feel the energy. When handling the box itself it has a great heavy weight to it. The magnet that keeps the cards and guide secure is strong.I love all the beautiful details of the box. The attention to detail continues to the guide book from the cover to the words inside. The guide book is easy to follow and process. The break down of the different category meanings is super helpful.The CARDS!! Oh the cards; the details continue again. It is so easy to get lost in the card meditating and flooding yourself with details of colors and design on the card. I have done my past 2 daily draws with this deck and I LOVE IT!!

I've be awaiting this deck since I saw it back in June & have been anxiously awaiting its release. As a crystal healer, I am particularly picky when it comes to the idea of a crystal deck because, well, I can literally just pull a crystal from a bag and work with its message. However, having seen the beautiful artwork and meaning behind Colette's Animal cards, & the preview of the artwork for this deck, I went ahead and took a chance. & I love the deck! Colette is a skilled writer and healer, and her message with each of the cards has a slightly different perspective than you might get from reading a crystal property book. Her message with each of the cards is inspiring and transcendent and has inspired several healing writing prompts on my end. Her work is definitely unique, and I highly recommend this deck to anyone who may be unsure for the same reason I was about crystal decks.

Love these cards, a great way to introduce crystals into a reading for those who may not of explored the subject yet. A helpful teaching tool! And... Thank You Amazon, for replacing these cards as the bag they were delivered in was opened and empty! I even asked my mail carrier if by chance he found a box of Tarot cards in his truck...he did not...? So thanks again Amazon for the QUICK replacement...much appreciated!

I have several decks from this marvelous Wise One. At first, I was disappointed in the crystal illustrations. Initially I would have preferred color photographs of crystals. But after using the deck a month or so, I warmed up to the dreamy watercolors with sort of a misty image inside because it suggests the personification of the traits and qualities--eg the SPIRIT in Crystal Spirits. I love the accuracy of each card I've pulled because there is so much to learn about the vast array of crystals here, many of which I've never heard about. Very accurate readings enhanced by a terrific reference book. Beautiful packaging so it would make an excellent gift. If you're inclined to offer readings, experienced or not, you would be able to do readings for others very well from this deck. I may increase my rating to 5 stars the more I use it; have given it 4 stars as it grows on me from my initial disappointment of a crystal deck that is drawn/painted rather than photos I was expecting. No reason for anyone not to love this deck, I just needed to manage my expectations. I've loved the other decks I have, immediately. Maybe, like making a new friend, this will be a new process for me. I expect to love it more as I get to know it better. Collette Baron-Reid is a FABULOUS SOURCE for oracle decks. I'm thinking to buy the one she features as being her most popular one next and wish I'd bought that one sooner. Seeing it in CBR's use on her current videos, I'm crazy about the red pattern back of the cards. And I so LOVE The Enchanted Oracle card app I have on my phone and use that most often. Best? CBR keeps it updated, unlike some other card apps. Overall, this deck is a treasure chest of messages.
