This deck was created by Nikki Gresham-Record and is published by Findhorn Press in 2020, a division of Inner Traditions. A review copy was provided by the publisher.

These lovely cards are 3 ¾” by 5 ½” with rounded corners. They are a bit too large for riffle shuffling. Both sides of each card have distinctive information, so doing a blind draw can only be done with your eyes closed. The 56 full-color cards and the 160-page explanatory book come in a sturdy cardboard box suitable for permanent storage. 

The cards are organized as one card for each of the main seven chakras, with seven subsidiary cards each expressing an attribute of that chakra. All messages are positive. The intention behind the deck is healing for all. Each set of eight cards features a background color related to its chakra, as is clear from the examples here and on the Scopes page. Each card reverse has at least three affirmations related to that chakra and that attribute. The colors of the deck are clear, bright, and uplifting. These are the most attractive of several chakra decks I have seen. I also applaud that this is a deck with only positive messages, fairly rare among cards used for divination and self-growth, but a definite plus in this time of covid-19. Let me add that usually, I would choose to use a deck with cards of varying levels of positives and negatives. At this time of extended social isolation and threat from a disease with no current effective treatment or effective vaccination, it is heart-warming to deal with positive messages.

 

Chakra 2



Since other chakras are represented on the Scopes page, I am showing both sides of two cards from the same chakra, the Throat Chakra. One is the Main Chakra card which shows a full-color drawing of a man eerily like the familiar Aryan Jesus, along with a wolf, the Sanskrit symbol for the chakra, a drawing of the chakra as seen with spiritual eyes, and a transliteration of the chakra’s Sanskrit name-Vishuddha. One of the attributes of the Throat (Fifth) Chakra is “Self-Expression.” This self-expression card shows the wolf from the main card for the Throat chakra, but now the wolf is the main figure and the man is almost invisible as something like a watermark. This card, and the other attribute cards for the Throat Chakra, is predominantly shades of the light blue that many psychics connect to the chakra. Each of these cards has a reverse with affirmations related to the meaning of that chakra and attribute. 


Chakra 1 2



I would use these cards to draw a card for a day, month or year. I would also use them to answer questions such as “How can I help ___?” Another way to use these cards is to use them as a message card at the end of your reading with another set of cards. 

I recommend this lovely deck.
