Review by Mary Terhune
This is such a wonderful little deck! I
have had it for a number of years, and have used it
extensively.
This deck has the special feature of, as the title
states, glowing in the dark. I have found it particularly
useful for doing “otherworldly” types of readings, and
spiritual ones - ones that require quite a bit of deep
meditation.
It is an all-majors deck, but as it is seemingly
deeply portentous when used correctly, I don’t really see
this as a disadvantage (not with this particular deck,
though ordinarily I don’t much like majors-only decks).
If you “light up” the deck by leaving it under direct
light for a good while, you can get them to glow long
enough to do a reading with them. (I find a flashlight
helpful!)
I have used this deck in contacting the departed,
and seeing into Otherworld; it can give very deep
insights. It seems to convey a sense of being windows into
that other world, and is truly fascinating. It is, of
course, black and white in design - the standard
Rider-Waite-Smith designs - which render it very clear and easy to
read. I find that I myself rather like black and whites,
though that is an individual thing.
One thing that I
have procured from this deck and that I find especially
useful is the spread that comes with the deck, entitled
“The Star Spread”. It is extremely simple and works for
all kinds of questions, as well as generals. The
shape is that of a 5-pointed star, and the positions
are: Feelings, Influences, (Emotional) Blocks, and
Outcome.
I definitely recommend this deck, particularly to
those who are of a spiritual bent and/or lovers of the
unusual.
