The Akashic Tarot: A 62-card Deck and Guidebook

I adore these cards. They 'hum' with the most wonderful energy, and I am so thrilled - and amazed - with their accuracy. I love how much detail is presented on each card, and that the same care for detail has been shared in the guidebook descriptions. I especially appreciate the inclusion of meanings for both upright and reversed.I find them beautiful to look at and to hold - I like the clean finish on the cards and the weight seems perfect to me - not too thick so as to make shuffling awkward, but sturdier than some others I've seen in the past, that don't stand the test of time and frequent use and tend to split easily.Some of the cards depict scenes that are more 'modern' and I quite like this aspect. As with the nature of The Akashic Records ("all human events, thoughts, words, emotions") I love the inclusion of variety in this deck that encompasses imagery of 'other worldliness' of angelic or mystical energies, such as 'The Queen of Forces', which depicts a beautiful woman standing on a body of water, with both the sun and moon in her command - as well as cards with imagery of 'this world' , such as '1 of Scrolls - On Track', which shows a man in a suit at a train station. All wonderful visions that convey so much by holding the honesty of the human experience, from the seemingly regular to the Divine, and to me, that is all part of the power that these cards possess as a set.I've used them everyday since I received them, and I just continue to love and appreciate them more and more.

The usefulness of oracle decks lies in the fact that the good ones offer us immediate access to our own intuitive perceptions and processes. By this criterion, the Klingler-Taylor Akashic Tarot is a GREAT oracle deck — as well as a unique one.If you’re looking for an easy and enjoyable method for tapping into insights available beyond the range of chronic self-limiting thought, this is definitely the deck for you.The creators of these beautiful oracle cards have structured them along the lines of standard Tarot decks, with four suits, major and minor Arcana, and court cards, but there the similarity ends. The authors have visualized four entirely new minor suits, new major Arcana, and new court cards, now depicting angelic as well as human beings. The messages underlying the illustrations have been radiantly realized by the gorgeous art, which adds yet more layers of meaning to the explicit and implicit intentions encompassed by each card.The eloquent little handbook that accompanies the cards outlines three different levels of perception by which their meanings can be discovered and suggests several different layouts that will supply additional information through context and contiguity. But all these options are suggestions only. The best way to use these cards is the way that works for you — and that may be as simple as asking what you need to know, seeing what card jumps out of the deck, and then contemplating the story it tells you. In addition, the handbook offers interpretations for each card, both upright and reversed, and even suggests when it might make sense to pull another. You have lots of options.I ordered four decks to give as birthday and Christmas gifts, and it is already clear that I will be ordering more. At the first birthday celebration, after cake and ice cream, five of us, ranging in age from mid-20s to mid-80s, sat at the kitchen table, pulling cards, reading from the handbook, and launching into spirited conversations over each message that continued at full throttle for nearly four hours. That session unleashed a lot of energy, a lot of very trenchant insight, and a lot of fun.This deck is a terrific tool, alight with intelligence and filled with empowering opportunities. You’re gonna love it!

This 62 card deck doesn't quite follow the traditional tarot. For example there is no 0/Fool card. The major arcana starts with a 1/Oracle of Delphi card. There are 22 major arcana cards and 4 suits, Roses, Scrolls, Keys, Forces. Each suit has only 2 court cards, a king and queen and 8 numbered cards and each suit has it's own color. The deck is fully illustrated. The artwork looks to be digital compositing and painting. It has a fairy tale/fantasy feel. The deck is matte finished with plain edges. Though they are matte finished they shuffle smoothly and the colors are quite nice. Like other Hay House products the cards are nice quality and the two part storage box is sturdy. I would have liked gilded card edges as it feels smooth in the hand. The book and cards are easy to understand.The included book is substantial with 221 pages. There are some included spreads and meanings for upright and reverse card positions. There is also an Akashic Force message which is basically a positive affirmation or meditation type message. Here is a random example of an Akashic Force message: Close your eyes and step into the energy of the Queen of Roses. Get to know that caring power and gentle temperament. Feel compassion fill you and notice your desire to bring a loving embrace to yourself and the world. A few cards have a special message which is a usage message that adds an extra layer of meaning such as instructing the reader to look for certain things such as where the person in the card is pointing. For those interested there is info on the two artists who worked on the deck, each having the cards the cards they worked on listed in their info section.Overall I am happy with the deck. As I was one of the pre-order purchasers I ordered it sight unseen with no book preview so I am relieved that the deck is quite nice. I uploaded some pictures to help potential buyers make a decision on whether this deck is what you are searching for. As the pictures were taken with my smartphone the colors in particular may not be totally accurate but at least you can get the feel of the deck. At the writing of this review I paid $11.49 for the deck so it was very reasonably priced thus I have to give it 5 stars for price and quality. Enjoy.

These cards are transcendent, fascinating, and beautiful. They are contemporary, yet contain elements ‘out of time,’ creating an ageless palette.No, this is not your ‘standard’ Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Authors Sharon Anne Klingler and Sandra Anne Taylor have gone FURTHER back in Tarot history for inspiration and guidance in creating this outstanding deck. Also considered are global/multicultural elements. Twenty-Two Major Arcana and forty Minor Arcana (in suits of ‘scrolls,’ ‘roses,’ ‘forces,’ and ‘keys’) make up this deck. Scrolls represent ‘the world of mind’; Roses – ‘relationships’; Forces – ‘energy, consciousness and natural law’; and Keys – ‘values.’I opened the deck after an initial prayer, then slowly viewed each card. Many brought chills; some a tear to my eye.The artists are Cheri Polk and Emiliano Villani. Many cards are stunning. A number have photographic-like detail, yet, when taken as a complete scene, are ‘loose’ enough to let individualized interpretation ‘come through.’ The Archangel cards, ‘Divine Physician,’ ‘Ark of the Covenant,’ ‘Initiation & The Count St. Germaine,’ King and Queen of Scrolls, 2 of Keys (many of ‘The Keys’ cards), the whole ‘Forces’ suit . . . there are so many standouts.Then there is the guidebook . . . reading it was like taking one of Sharon’s or Sandra’s courses. It is excellent; and well beyond being simply a reference for this specific deck. It was a substantial, unexpected bonus – much more extensive than the booklets that accompany every other Tarot deck I’ve purchased or looked at, with historical references, and esoteric terms clearly explained, as well as the outlining of multiple techniques.I am so pleased with this offering, and plan to purchase additional copies as gifts.

I’m insanely new to terrot like my first reading was with this deck. The energy from the cards stays in the room it’s such a positive deck. My husband and I have done several readings with it just this weekend for us and friends. We’re going through a rough time and these cards are almost like a meditative deck it gives you force options like what you need to do to meditate on each card which is extremely helpful. I’m new to the psychic thing and I did a reading for a friend my husband’s been doing this for years and he said the reading I give my friend was spot on even though I’d never done that before. This deck is so positive the only complaint I have is I have little hands and it’s so hard to shuffle this deck. The books words are small but not unreadable their as big as the card deck so you can keep the cards and the book together. My husband was really scheptical about this deck. He kept moving it out of the amazon cart and I told him to give it a chance and we did and he loves this deck. It gives warnings but it’s answers you’ve already known you’ve just forgotten they don’t tell the future but they do give options that you can take. This deck is amazing. Please make a smaller version of it though so I can give it a good shuffle. My husband has giant hands and he even said it’s hard for him to shuffle the cards are huge! But it’s nice. They feel amazing and I would totally buy the same deck of cards that are the smaller version thanks. The cards are made out of really thick cardstalk almost like cardboard. So they should last us and our children when we have some a long time. Thanks for a great family airlume.

Very nice deck and great guidebook. As an earth-based Pagan, I did remove the arcangel cards along with a couple of the other ones. The cards read very well without them and since for me they actually took away from the deck, I set them aside. I do find the readings very accurate and to the point. I am only giving this 4 stars because of the cards that could have easily been left out didn't really add anything to the deck. I look for non-traditional decks and I am pleased this one is very original.

I've never had experiences quite like those I've had with this deck. I don't usually review card decks. However, following my experience with this wonderful tool I was inclined to share my opinion. And importantly, I really needed to work more with Sandra Taylor, which led me to discover that she had several free offers of some fantastic tools (a while back) for those who purchased this deck. When I found and obtained those generous resources, I was full of gratitude and that nudged me in the direction of supporting her creations. So after purchasing dozens and dozens of decks over time, I decided to make the leap to 2 deck reviews, this being the second. As far as artistry and quality, in my opinion this deck is fabulous in those regards. The cards are high quality. The pictures are distinguished and adult and thought provoking and very meaningful. The Tarot-like format is well fitted to the subject matter and easy to understand right out of the box. I hope you, dear reader, will experience something as powerful as I did if you should decide to make this unique "Tarot" deck your own. And well done Sharon and Sandra. I am eager to enjoy your current, and hopefully future, creations for many years to come.

This Tarot Deck is the most compelling and accurate Tarot I have ever worked with! Although this deck, like other Tarot, has the suit format and the major and minor arcana, it reaches new levels of energy and inspiration--Akashic Levels! It actually connects you with the Akashic Records! For this reason this deck's depth and meaning offer amazingly far-reaching information and insight! The application of each card is both personal and profound, and the readings you give yourself and others will astound you!The art is stunningly beautiful and each picture is meaningful on several levels. The specific meanings are explained in the extensive accompanying book, but the pictures make the meanings so clear, it becomes easy to read them even without the guidebook. And the book is extremely informative, offering several layouts for different types of readings, as well as explaining how the cards connect with other cards in the placement of the reading, which is something I've never seen in a guidebook before.Another really special element of this deck is the "Akashic Force" which is explained on each card. This is just a sentence or two that suggests an easy technique or way of looking at things that allows you to tap into that energy of the Akashic Realm. It's wonderful--worth experiencing on a daily basis!I highly recommend these cards. The more you use them, the more you feel connected to the unlimited Akashic information that is always available to guide us in every area of our lives. You'll also feel a deepening connection with helpful and loving spirit through the use of these cards! So don't miss out. These cards are beautiful, inspirational, directive, and accurate beyond belief. I think the messages you get from them could actually change your life!

Precioso tarot, las láminas son muy bonitas y espirituales, así como los significados y las explicaciones de los dibujos de cada carta. He conectado de manera muy especial con él. Lo recomiendo si se busca un contacto o una guía más espiritual con el interior propio o de las personas que te pidan consejo en las tiradas. Chulísimo.

Qualidade Top! As cartas são grossas e firmes, excelente gramatura e o efeito matizado da um acabamento PremiumVale a pena.

Ich habe, seitdem mich der Virus der Tarot-Decks gepackt hat, schon so einiges in der Hand und im Bücherschrank gehabt. Meist kam ich aber mit den Aussagen der Legungen nicht klar. Manchmal schienen sie so gar keinen Bezug zu meiner Frage zu haben, und das kann auf Dauer sehr nervend werden! Also wollte ich mal was gaaanz anderes probieren und bestellte mir das Akasic Tarot. Box und Karten sind stabil und vermitteln das Gefühl, dass man hier etwas ordentliches in der Hand hat.Einige Karten sind wie bei klassischen Tarot-Decks. So gibt es eine Art von großen und kleinen Arkanen. Die Motive etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber in sich sehr stimmig und teilweise richtig schön - aber Geschmack ist ja immer relativ. Mir gefällt es und ich nutze es täglich (bin jeden Morgen ganz gespannt, was mir die Karten mitteilen). Das beiliegende Büchlein hat für jede Karte eine recht ausführliche Beschreibung, und eine Anweisung für so eine Art Mini-Meditation oder Aufforderung eine bestimmt Geisteshaltung zu bewahren/aufzubauen. Es wird auch beschrieben, wie sich spezielle Karten in einer Legung zu ihren Nachbar-Karten verhalten, bzw. Hinweise auf den Hintergrund oder die zeitliche Abfolge des "Ergebnisses" geben.Ich bin auf jeden Fall begeistert, habe es immer griffbereit liegen und möchte es nicht mehr missen! Sollten meine Karten irgendwann in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand gehen, werde ich mir ein neues Deck gönnen :)
