A book and pack of 69 cards for insight and prediction. Every legendary villain has a story ultimately more fascinating than his hero counterpart. These fallen angels are no exception: cast out from heaven, the subversive spirits in this deck have committed at least one of the seven deadly sins to secure their place in the legions of the damned. The cards in Nigel Suckling’s oracle are similarly rich with experience, and devilishly direct: Zepar, the angel who makes women love men, reveals the complications of an affair; Gusion, who can discern the past, present and future, calls upon you to let intuition rule; while Shax, who has the appearance of a stork, warns you to protect your wealth. Choose a card for daily insight, or lay them out for a reading, just like tarot…and you will find that your readings have depth and veracity. The accompanying book reveals the card’s meaning, and explains the circumstances of each angel’s history and wisdom teaching. The illustrations, by artist Sarah Perkins, have been specially commissioned to evoke the dark charm of these most fascinating, mysterious creatures, all of whom offer a special message for you.
Very Accurate Deck I’ve been using this deck for several months now and I find the readings it gives to be extremely accurate. It’s beautifully illustrated and Mr. Suckling does a beautiful job in his descriptions of the cards. The fallen angels are based on the 72 angels King Solomon imprisoned to build his temple. I personally do not believe that any angel is fallen, as I do not believe in the concept of the Fall. I believe everything came from love and everything returns to love. That being said, I have been reading professionally for over 20 years and I think this deck is one of the best. My advice as a reader is to approach the deck with the intention of having a great relationship with these angels and you will be impressed with their messages.
Haunting Beauty As a tarot reader, I only use two decks out of the, over 30, that I own. Some decks, to me, are just too gorgeous to be used for any other purpose than admiring the artwork and this deck DEFINITELY fits this mold. The art is computer generated it seems, which so many decks do HORRIBLY wrong- this deck gets it right in every way. The imagery is beautiful and piercing, leaving delicate traces in your mind long after you’ve put the deck away.A full 72 cards, this isn’t one of those skimpy “symbolism” decks either. You’ll find no new-age mumbo jumbo tacked on top of scantily clad, California, goddesses. Surrealism, the kiss of the religious, pious, and superstitious. The book that accompanies the deck not only offers spreads, but the meanings of the cards and the figures each card represents.As far as reading with it? I have not done so, as I’ve said, this deck hasn’t lent itself to me for that purpose. I truly believe there are some decks you just click with and,…
