Fallen Angels Oracle Cards Cards – March 10, 2011

So, I found these while looking around on Aeclectic. And they were one of two decks that "spoke" to me. The other was the Dark Angels tarot deck.I've been interested in Tarot for years, but it was a passing thing. Whenever I had the money, I tended to get other things instead. But then I got into writing, and began formulating an idea for a fantasy world, that revolved around occult topics.Naturally this brought me back to Tarot. One thing that always discouraged me was the types of cards. A lot of the "classic" decks, just looked strange to me. Very abstract, and I could never really get into them.Then, while messing around on Aeclectic, I stumbled on this deck and the other. And it was like a spark of recognition within me. Somehow I knew these decks were the ones I need.In all, I have 5 decks now, all purchased within the same time frame/order, to be honest.Three of them are oracle decks, one is a tarot deck, and the fifth is a deck of fortune cards.Anyways, to my review. These cards are beautifully designed. I can't go into how easy they are to use, this review is more about the packaging and artwork.If you are curious to see examples of the artwork, do a Google search for the following terms: Aeclectic Fallen Angels OracleThe box is the largest of all my decks. It is capable enough to hold 2 of these decks. This is due primarily to the accompanying book. (There is no "little white book" here. This is a very decent book.)The outer box looks nice, and feels nice. And it's got a "lid" for opening. If you stand the box up to face you, with the front text in the normal position, the right side of the box slides off.One bad thing is the internal packaging. The book fits the box perfectly. But for the cards, there is a dinky piece of card board, forming a rectangular U-shape.While it works well when you first get the cards, things quickly go downhill. If you keep the little plastic band that goes around the cards, and remember to keep up with it, and put it back around them after every use, they will fit comfortably back inside the "U" with little trouble.But honestly, who is going to be meticulous enough to keep up with something like that...?I got rid of it when I opened them. It seemed like just something done for them being new. Nothing special.Only when I went to put the cards -back- into the box, several slid down into the U-piece. Whether they went between the U and the box, or the U and the book, both were fairly bad for someone who would use the deck often.My Solution: Remove the U-Piece and trash it.Why? Because it is just an insert. It slides out. In a perfect world, the people releasing this would have put a fixed piece inside, that the deck rested in.So how might we fix this problem, you are wondering? Simple.Put the box back upright on your workspace. So you are looking at the front and "Fallen Angel Oracle Cards" is upright and readable.Slide the piece off on the right side, to open the box.If you put the book in first, you can then insert the deck, horizontally. So it lays on the bottom edge of the box. You will notice rather quickly that the deck is the same size as the box, in this direction.Now for the unglamorous, but functional, part. A couple sheets of printer paper, wadded into balls, will fit into the empty space above the horizontal deck. They should fit nicely between the book and the side of the box, and this will prevent the cards from banging around in the box, should it be tipped or angled in something other than the position I've described here.Is it cheap? Of course. But as long as it works, that is what matters.In all, I give the cards and the book a 5/5. The outer packaging gets a 5 as well, but the interior drops to a 3.

I just purchased this deck not to long ago and have been shuffling them every day. Some cards have fallen out with the daily shuffles and I read them as such. Tonight a situation has been weighing heavily on my mind and so I decided to use these cards for a reading. I used the Star of Solomon spread and was rewarded with a reading that was so accurate there was no room for apologies. The message sang loud and clear without one misunderstood card (a card you get and you can't figure out why it's in there) It confirmed what I already knew what was ahead and have been dreading. But it also provided a spiritual explanation of the purpose or reason why I need to go through this experience and then gave the outcome. Although the outcome card was neither good nor bad it only again reaffirmed that there is no avoiding action that I need to take.The cards themselves are hauntingly beautiful, thin and sturdy. They shuffle nicely in my hands and don't stick together. I will use this deck time and again to cut right through to the heart of the matter. Be prepared and ready to listen up because they will mince no words in telling you what is truly going on in the situations you are asking about but with that they also offer a bit of wisdom and encouragement too.

These are my favorite set of cards. They are oracle though so don't plan on them having major and minor arcana. The images are beautiful and I think they might be a tad harder to interpret with each fallen angel online getting a few sentences of description. I always use the booklet and sometimes each card can be a little contradictory with the subject of the card vs. the summary of it. However, if you have your own separate way of determining the cards then this is the perfect deck! It really is so beautiful, and having it for a while I can tell you there is no card wearing like some cheaper packs. The cards are a little larger the hand size which can be less convenient when dealing and space wise but I think they need to it show the detail in each card. I lovelovelove them the most of all my cards. I also own the daemon tarot set and this is an even better creative interpretation using the same names of cards and characters. 5/5

The imagery is beautiful, and the box is sturdy, however, I found the cards to be (overall) surprisingly negative. I don't actually like totally positive, all sunshine and rainbows types of cards, but these were really negative and the deck as a whole was entirely repetitive, with the keyword "danger" or "upheaval" being used multiple times on different cards, for instance, some of which even shared the same imagery (like a wild cat on a couple of the danger cards). Each card (as described in the book) is associated with a sign (earth, air, fire, water) and a planet, and that can definitely change the readings, but these things aren't indicated on the cards themselves at all, so prepare yourself for a lot of memorization with imagery that is similar enough that visual clues wont help the memorization process. I suppose, in the end, I simply don't feel a connection with these cards that I thought I would.

These are lovely cards. They are a bit on the thin side, so for durability I would shuffle them lightly. The information is really good. Your going to have to spend a lot of time getting to know this deck though. To be able to put all the symbolism into each one of your readings will take a while. Each card not only has its meaning, but an element and a planet that gives more insight into the card. I have had these for a few weeks and so far they are doing good. I am sure once I invest more time into them they will be great. When you buy this deck though think of it as a long term investment. It's not a deck your going to pick up and instantly want to do readings for others with. It would make a great addition to anyone's collection.

商品名が book and cards（カード）となっており、内容紹介にも「A book and pack of 72 cards for insight and prediction.」と書いてあったので、てっきりカードが付いていると思っていたのに、薄い解説本が1冊届いたきり。英語力が足りず誤解した自分が悪かったのでしょうが、1万円以上もする商品だっただけに詐欺にあった気分です。

Beautiful deck. Not my favourite for reading but I love it to read and learn about the Fallen Angels.. great information

A beautiful card deck!

After watching a review I decided to add this deck to my collection for shadow work. A colleague observed however that are many repeated key works in the cards, I mean, there are several cards with the same key work. Beside that I don't really connected very well with this deck, it's a little cold, has a lack of connection and not very accurate. The box and the cardstock are very good quality though.
