WOW!!! I'm first seeing this now. Thank you so much for taking so much time to share your experience of the Wisdom Keepers so far. Your review is so thorough, and thoughtful, and shows just how many years you've spent exploring your true self and serving others by deep diving into mystical/symbolic/archetypal worlds. I was so happy when I heard you speak about the eye crinkles! Just a few clarifiers for anyone interested: While the stories, gifts and questions were all written by me (Rosy Aronson), the Gift/Shadow/Siddhi words and the very first quotes were written by Richard Rudd (author of the Gene Keys). The I'Ching is deeply embedded in each of these cards, but not necessarily in an easy-to-identify way. If you'd like a more direct way of seeing the links between the cards and the hexagrams, I encourage you to check out The Gene Keys. Also want to reaffirm what you discovered, that the mini guidebook that comes with the deck has the exact same content as the larger paperback version I sent to you. I created the paperback for easier reading, for those who'd like that. (My old eyes certainly appreciate the larger font!) The original edition (black/white) was published in 2015. It was a smaller deck, so easier to shuffle. This time I really wanted people to be able to see the faces and all of their details in this full-color edition, and to be able to put the cards on their altars and really enjoy the faces. So I sacrificed 'shuffle-ability' for an intensity of connection that comes with the larger size. I'm happy to see that you found a way to shuffle, despite the bigness! These are indeed available on Amazon, at a significantly discounted price. For people with big families, you can always do a slightly 'honed in' version of the genealogy spread--picking out the family members who feel important, intriguing or challenging. Or you can do parts of your family at a time. (Mom's mom lineage, Dad's dad lineage, etc.) Great feedback on wanting to know more about the symbols! I shall think about how I might share more about them over time. I definitely intentionally chose symbols that for me felt connected to the archetype and feeling transmitted by each Wisdom Keeper. What a beautiful Namaste card you picked! THANK YOU!!!!
:D I'm glad you enjoyed it (I meant to send you a link but holiday brain obviously didn't manifest that intention LOL) and thank you SO much for taking the time to clarify! I love the size of the cards, they might be harder to shuffle but I think they are the perfect size to really connect with the energy of these wonderful faces. I've used this since my walkthrough and I have found them to be insightful and supportive and work happily the little Namaste deck that feels on the same energetic wavelength :D I will definitely love to hear more on the symbols should you ever share them, but I haven't found not knowing them all to be a hinderance to loving this deck, so thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to work with your beautiful deck!
freshness spoke DIRECTLY to what I've been going through the last 4 days. I've noticed lately that sometimes I just need to be alone as much as I can for a few days to sleep and recharge. this is okay and this card just... tear. wow! getting asap
I quite enjoy watching deck reviews even if I never purchase them love watching the different art styles and seeing what tools people in the community tend to use and how everyone responds and experiences these tools in their own unique way. Thanks for such an in depth review as always.
I'm the same way, I watch all kinds of walkthroughs of decks I'll never purchase because it just is another layer and seeing the world through another lens!! ::HUGS::
The Truth in Story Exactly but I do have to thank you for three decks I have added in the last year I love them dearly and would of never have purchased had it not been for your great reviews. I love the madam endora cards. tarot of the hidden realms and dreams of gaia tarot they have been such a great addition to my small collection and added to my practice in a lovely way. thanks Kelley.
I'm so glad you made this!! Now I want to dive into the guidebook and I'm going to use these with my iching cards each morning. I think I'll use the Seeds of Shakti cards with them in the morning and then a Namaste card at night, you're right that they seem well suited for each other. Thank you for such a beautiful, in depth look at this gorgeous deck!
I haven't yet felt a strong connection with the iching with them, I went to see about it but didn't find an immediate correlation and wanted to take more time before I touched on it so I'll be interested to look more into that! I do think the Seeds of Shakti and the Namaste cards will be lovely energy with them!!
It definitely has a very lovely energy, not my typical oracle deck but there is a beautiful energy about them that I can only compare to the Namaste cards!
FYI the bigger guidebook can be bought as a kindle edition. I have been eyeing this for awhile but wasn't quite sure about getting the bigger book as well. I don't remember it being a kindle version a year or 2 ago. Will be buying
The original deck came out about one year ago (it took me a while to get that kindle book up and running). This second version just came out in December of 2016. So this is all very new. : )
This deck is awesome, beautiful. Sadly I can´t Find this deck in Finland. Could you recommend something similar, strong deck what I can use to know myself better?
off the top of my head, "sacred rebels", "magic of you", "rumi oracle", "osho, zen tarot". you can find youtube reviews on these to see if you like them or not. good luck!
you did end up purchasing this :-)! I was very close but I couldn't purchase it from amazon.ca and I didn't want to pay the American shipping charges but that's okay because it makes me sit with it a bit longer to decide whether or not I want to spend more money on any decks because to be honest I'm running out of space for storage LOL not to mention that it is a bit overwhelming to have so many I have no idea how you can handle it but sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy! actually I would love to hear you speak about how you manage having so many decks. Do You find that you even use them I mean all of them? the one thing I like about this deck is the fact that it is quite different from the rest of my Oracle decks concept wise. XOXO have a happy New Year and I'm sending you lots of love. PS I sent you an email a little while ago just making sure that you got it just in case but no pressure and responding. much love!
Hello Maha, I hope you have had a lovely holidays! The artist sent me this copy to take a look at, so that was a lovely way to check this out because I was wondering somethings about it, like whether the symbols on the faces were deliberate and relevant (which they are). As for having a lot of decks, once I put them out as a library type system, aka lined up on the bookshelves like books, I find it to be quite lovely and I use a lot more of them then I did as I had them set up before. So I don't use them all regularly, I use quite a number of them and very often ones that I don't use a lot will jump at me (figuratively) in the middle of readings to add on as I face them on my table. So I look at them akin to a book collection, as a reference/use library of sorts and it's quite lovely--necessary, no, but enjoyable. I admit to being woefully backed up on email which can get a little overwhelming at times and am working my way through trying to get it cleared out by New Year :)
The Truth in Story thank you! That's a great system thanks for sharing. I am really glad you did this review I will be checking it out tonight I was saving it for that because like I said I'm still thinking about this and you are always so detailed and it helps when I'm being indecisive :-) and please don't worry about answering the email I know how it can be when you have a lot of emails to answer back . you can just ignore it altogether and then whenever you have a free moment you can just email me and that's of course if you feel like it. hope you had a wonderful holidays and sending you much love as always XOXO
....i was waiting for the iching at the end, but you didnt say anything...or did I misunderstand and you were planning another vid on that? Great review. I think you singlehandedly increase tarot/oracle sales because of your reviews!
You know I didn't see an immediate correlation and need to look at it closely, I could see some connections but I want to dig into it a bit more before going in depth on it! :) Sorry I should have said that!
Oh ok thanks....also, have you seen the iching deck "Iching Dead Moon"?... each card has a beautifully illustrated picture that corresponds to one of the hexagrams. Im considering getting it. Im just learning but i could see the connection for most of them. Not sure how id use it but cool deck though!

Hello , Absolument magnifique , très enveloppant , rassurant . Merci
My copy is on the way :) Can't wait. Seems like a beautiful deck. I bought the big book by chance...thinking Im buying a deck hahaha oops :) xxx
Aww on the big book, I think it's nice for those like me with bad eyesight, but not necessary for sure!
Really hope you enjoy it!!!
