Isis Oracle

I would have to give this deck like 10 Stars. The first 5 stars would go towards how AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL the artwork is. Its just flabbergastingly stunning and breathtakingly beautiful. The other 5 stars would speak toward's this deck's accuracy.I was drawn to buying this item because the images on the box were very beautiful... but also, foolish me, I thought it would help me to create closer ties with a romantic interest. This deck, like most of Blue Angel's creators, is a very spiritual deck. So if you're hoping to divine the future or looking for fluffy messages to help get you through the day... you will be gladly disappointed it does not provide you with such themes.CARDSTOCK/PACKAGING: All Blue Angel cartomancy items come in very sturdy boxes that last for a long time. They are also big boxes (about 5" x 6") because the cards are a nice large size themselves (about 4" X 5") which makes an ideal canvas size for such splendid artwork as Fairchild's to be displayed. Cardstock for this deck is different than many of the newer Blue Angel decks as its more sturdier, its as sturdy as the very sturdy older Blue Angel decks (think Toni Carmine Salerno's Gaia Oracle quality).GUIDEBOOK: The guidebook here is wonderful.. very thick with about 210 pages of text dedicated to the deck itself. The book is writen by Alana Fairchild and OMG is she AMAZING with visualization. There is about 4-5 pages devoted to each card and it sets the tone for the card's meaning, provides a visualization exercise/ritual and also a chant/incantation. Usually I am very bad at anything meditative, visualization, etc. However these rituals written by Alana are so powerfully moving. I've never been moved by a set of meditations/rituals before in my entire life.ARTWORK: While Alana composed the guidebook, the artwork is done by Jimmy Manton in which he has contributed to other Blue Angel Oracle decks in the past like Gods and Titans, Goddesses and Sirens, and some for Oracle of the Dragonfae. The artwork gets a double OMG OMG! AMAZING. Its like museum quality art pieces. My fear of buying this deck was will the artwork represent Isis and Osiris as Anglo charicatures and features... I've seen too many Egyptian decks do this and it makes me want to roll my eyes. I think Manton did an excellent job in not totally white-washing Egypt and portrayed the images in ways that celebrated the multi-ethnic region this community hosted and became. I wouldn't say its an exact representation of the cultures there, but the hues and the skin tones selected definitely does not make it seem as though neither of the authors ever read or been to Africa/Egypt.PERSONAL READINGS: Because there is a beautiful story shared between the illustrations and the guidebook (Manton and Fairchild seemed to be really cohesive in continuity) this makes for an enjoyable ride. My favorite card during one of my readings is "Flower of Life- Divine Creativity and Manifestation". When I had picked up the card I thought "man I wished I was as hot as the Isis on this picture" and when I entered into the meditation/ritual/visualization exercise I could see my potential self in all of the same glory Isis stood in that picture... which was EXTREMELY POWERFUL. When I opened my eyes and looked at the image on the card and compared it to the mental image of my perfected being that came through the meditation... I actually thought I was hotter than the image of the card... and its because I am more beautiful in real life than I give myself acknowledgement of and for and what people have told me about my beauty, I could never see before till I entered into that rarely and extremely powerful ritual. This is an AMAZINGLY, PROFOUNDLY POWERFUL SPIRITUAL product. Because the artwork is so beautiful, it reflects and represents the strength, beauty, intelligence found within. So the balance between the powerful meditation and the beauty of the artwork makes this such a powerful deck.OVERALL: I think this item is great for art enthusiasts... Isis/Egyptian enthusiasts... and anyone entering into a spiritual path. I was very hesitant to try the rituals because I don't believe in "rituals" and plus visualizations never worked for me. However this deck has helped me to clear away the needed spiritual debris in my life to reveal and unfold an awesome Danielle. Yes, there is even a card in there related to romantic relationships, but for the most part this deck is about you. Making you pretty darn awesome so you can serve and support yourselves and others. It's like getting a spiritual baptism each time you use this deck. I cannot say enough words about this deck other than its extremely powerful to the point it is nearly life changing.

I have several of Alana’s decks and this one is another winner. The art work on the cards are beautiful . I connected immediately with my deck and each reading is of course very accurate. I can feel the love with every reading and the rituals to be done afterwards are very touching. She does advise when performing these sacred rituals to make sure you are physically and emotionally healthy to do them. I can’t wait for Alana’s next creation.

I have a number of Egyptian themed decks and the visuals of of this deck caught my attention. When I received the cards, I was absolutely blown away by their beauty. The artwork is just gorgeous, very detailed, rich colors and over all lush. I spent a good hour, looking at each card in the deck, they are so pretty. I'm absolutely in love with this deck.This deck isn't meant for general reading or every day questions. It's meant for those looking to do or start to incorporate some deep spiritual work. The cards are described in detail into the accompanying book along with a invocation/ritual for each card. It's clear from the book that the author Alana Fairchild is very in touch with the Divine and deeply spiritual. You can feel the love and peaceful energy from the deck and book.Overall this is a gorgeous deck, that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to do inner work.

Intuitive, and magical is so many ways.I had searched for a deck like this for quite some time, but had no idea if any existed.I saw it in my minds eye and refused to buy another deck of any sort until I found The One.As it turns out, this was The One.I saw a photo of one of the cards posted in a Facebook Forum. I knew right then I had to have it.Every time I use this deck it says exactly what I need to hear.And, if you're not an intuitive reader (like me), the book is very helpful and informative and inspiring.The imagery is brilliant and I'm proud to see the use of proper skin tones and facial structure for the heritage depicted.Isis must be glowing in the Aether with pride.This deck is a must-have for anyone into Egyptian/African Mythology and/or Spirituality.

I purchased the Isis Oracle with the Kuan Yin Oracle and I must say both of these decks are breath taking! Alana Fairchild knows how to align with great artists and Jimmy Manton for the Isis Oracle really is a gifted artist. The images are warm, inviting and powerful. This set really emits some beautiful imagery and upon thumbing through the book I really like Alana's style in how she has set this up as I can feel I will easily be able to connect her words to these images to make for really great spiritual work.I must also say that the physical quality of the deck is wonderful, BlueAngel really produces quality products from the 2 Oracles I've purchased from them so far. I would not hesitate to buy any of their products if this is a great quality I can expect.

The prominent color of this beautifully illustrated deck is gold. Rightfully so, as Alana Fairchild presents work for the serious practitioner, one who is looking for the true transformation of the spirit. The guidebook provides specific exercises to be done in relationship to each card drawn, and it is in the practice of these exercises that one sees the deeper meaning of the messages printed on each card.This is not a deck for parlor games, and even though in this age we have to label everything "for entertainment purposes only", do not undertake the study of this work lightly. The teachings presented here are worth the time it takes to truly integrate them into any practitioner's body of knowledge. Ms. Fairchild is to be commended on her compassionate messages and the simplicity with which she guides us through what could be very difficult terrain.

Love the Isis Deck! Beautiful graphics and divine messages.
