Rating:  Summary: The best tarot card I own, and I own many! Review: Never before has a tarot deck so totally touched me and brought me insights into my own life. I have always used tarot as a way to better understand myself and my own life and to help others understand where they are at and where they are going. This deck has been purely magical in the way in which it gets at the spiritual principles that impact our lives -- I have been able to view life with a whole new perspective. The images are gorgeous and the book that comes with it is full of amazing insights and thoughtful commentary on potential meaning of the cards. I own over 10 tarot decks and this the one I keep coming back to over again. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to better understand themselves!
Rating:  Summary: Not Just your Average Fortune Telling Tool. Review: Do you want to have your own personal Zen Master, Guru, or Old Wise Yogi to help you along your Spiritual Growth and in life in general? Sure you do, but you ask yourself. "Where am I going to find a Wise Master in the Heartlands of America, the Deep South, or in the Rural New England?" You can find this Wise Guru deep within, as we all have Wise Spirit Guides, and with the use of these beautiful cards, you can finally harness their voice. The Osho Zen Tarot card, is not like your traditional Tarot, but something more. Each card has a beautiful image with one single word, and when the cards are lade out in front of you, many of your questions can be answered. These cards are beautiful and good to use during your personal meditation time. I use the Osho Zen Tarot as a great tool for meditation, you know sometimes the mind wonders when we meditate, and this is an excellent way to control the mind. Ask a question as you begin to meditate and pull out one card and meditate on that certain card. The Osho Zen tarot is good for your own Spiritual Work, or for giving readings to those who are also on a Spiritual Road. But do not confuse this deck with your average Fortune Telling Tool, or Tarot Deck, as this deck will confuse those who seek answers to love, money and material gain. The Osho Zen Tarot is a tool for inner and Spiritual Growth. The Osho Zen tarot is excellent when working with your Spirit Guides, Ancestors or Angel Guides. Place these on your Ancestral Shrine, and when ever you want an answer from your Spirit Guides or Ancestors lay the cards out, and get ready for a bit of enlightment.
Rating:  Summary: A Wonderful Tarot Book/Card Set Review: This is a beautiful and poignant Tarot Deck. I received it as a gift several years ago, when I finally dusted it off and started reading through it, it is very easy to learn. The pictures are beautiful and the cards give full descriptions. The book is a wonderful teacher, with a little work. They work well as meditation cards, also. I have found that there is little interpretation needed as with traditional Tarot Cards. And every reading has been illuminating and very correct. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this deck. The book explains things easily and gives explanations on how to solve problems, versus just telling you the problem.
Rating:  Summary: AMAZING!!! Review: This is a powerful tarot deck. It gives great advice and accurate readings.I have read thirty-four of Osho's seven hundred books so I knew what to expect. This deck exceeded my expectations. If you have been introduced to the easiness of Zen, you will love this deck. You will discover that it is better to look inside than to struggle unnecessarily with the outer. The controversial Osho teachings will change your outlook on life, period. Out of all the modern spiritual teachers I have read about he ranks number three in my book. Papaji and Nisargadatta ranking first and second. This deck suggests that you do your own spreads if you don't like those that are given. I highly recommend doing your own spreads. It gives a more personal touch. Be patient if you are new to Zen. The payoff is huge. Words cannot describe this freedom from conditioning. The clarity and peace is beyond comprehension. Just enjoy the deck. Get ready for an amazing ride in the beyond...Have fun!
Rating:  Summary: An Amazing Deck Review: This Tarot Deck is my favourite. I find it breaks away from the traditional tarot in that it's not intended to tell you what is happening in your future but more telling you what is within you and how it affects the things around you. I find the readings with this deck uncannily accurate and once after a reading had a friend tell me that it wasn't that the cards saw what she had always hidden, it was that I knew as well from reading them for her. The cards prove a favourite among my friends when they request a reading from me, I also use them often as they show me what often I am not willing to see otherwise. The artwork in these cards are amazing and I find them easy to focus on for meditation and also easy to remember the meanings. the book is also very interesting and makes the meanings clear. A breathtakingly beautiful deck and one that I would recommend for anyone. My favourite.
Rating:  Summary: An offbeat and highly intuitive deck. Review: As soon as I unwrapped and shuffled this set, I did a "Celtic Cross" reading and was pretty amazed. For this first quickie "out of the box" reading, and without having read any of the commentary on the individual cards, I was gifted with a very insightful reading on my general situation at the time. It took all of five minutes. Very intuitive indeed! The card symbolism is fresh but the artwork is, for me at least, a bit variable in quality. As far as general "feel" goes, I can only gauge by the other decks I've tried, which aren't many. The readings do seem "softer" than my work with the Rider-Waite deck -- which seems to take a pretty clear-eyed, hard-edged view of things -- and certainly less dramatic than my William Blake deck. But while perhaps somewhat softer in atmosphere and feel than many decks, Osho Zen Tarot doesn't gloss over the hard questions. I receive quieter but still tough responses from these cards, if the situation demands it. Given its intuitiveness and "measured" feel, this deck seems especially suited for my daily one-card reading. Other decks may have a bit more depth to them in terms of symbolic complexity and intellectual appeal, but this isn't Tarot Lite by any means. I'm probably going to save my "bigger" inquiries for other decks, but as a quick and refreshing start to your day, I think Osho Zen Tarot would be hard to beat.
Rating:  Summary: The Path from Worshipping to BEING an Enlightened One Review: The wisdom of Osho contained in this illuminating book and card set transcends the ego's need to look for outer validation, to worship others, and instead will bring you the wisdom to become and integrate the wisdom and enlightenment that the Enlightened or "Awakened" ones have sought to teach humanity. Osho Zen Tarot teaches us to be fully ALIVE and to live with joy, to interact with others in compassion, to shed the ego's domain of fear that seeks to control all elements that exist outside of us, and to embrace our child-like wonder to experience life completely in the here and now. The path to freedom is written simply, and the wisdom profoundly applicable once you are open to its teachings. Osho's own words in this breathtaking book states: "It is the capacity not to worship buddhas but to BECOME a buddha, not to follow others, but to develop the awareness within that brings a quality of light and love to all that we do." I HIGHLY recommend this book not only for the reading you can do, but for the divine and illuminated wisdom it will bring to you so that you may live your life with the peace and joy you deserve.

Rating:  Summary: OCCULT PSYCHOLOGY Review: A NEW AND EXCITING INTERPRETATION OF THE TAROT. MAY POSSIBLE BE THE BEST TAROT AVAILABLE.

PRESENTS THE REAL USE OF THE TAROT - OCCULT PSYCHOLOGICAL INTROSPECTION. CONS: CAPTIONS TEND TO DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM INTUITIVE RESPONSES.

Rating:  Summary: Great Book and Pictures Make it a Great Deck. Review: The illustration in each card of this tarot deck is so expressive and well made that for the most of the time, all I need to do is to pick a card and pay close attention to its drawings. Not enough, the book that comes with it has great words of wisdom, and it gave me the most experience in interpretating each card. The set comes in a plastic box with the correct place for the cards and book. It looks pretty much like a VHS case with the cards and book organized inside. Also, the cards were made out of good material that make them last. A must have for those who want to get in touch with the 'real self'.
Rating:  Summary: Top of the Heap for spiritual insights. Review: The Osho Zen cards and book are not designed as divinatory. Osho was a guru of great wisdom and humanity. This set was constructed from his teachings. I know of no higher tool of its kind for spiritual growth, i.e. growth as a human. Everything about this set is top of the line. On a scale of one to ten I'd place it at 20. The art and color are smashing and evocative, the stock is top quality, as is the packaging, which isn't cardboard but a durable box with a flip up lid that fits snugly and lifts easily, providing permanent protection for this lovely and marvelous deck. What a companion for your life's path!
