I got 2 decks for Christmas. One is: Gods and Goddesses- Mantras, Blessings and Meditations. The other is the Gita Deck- Wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita.
Both beautiful decks, dipiciting Hindu beliefs and spirituality. Not meant as oracle decks. The Gita deck might be useful for pulling a random verse a day, however. That's what I'm using it for. I don't have the Bhagavad Gita book but this is a real beautiful introduction to it.
The Gods and Goddesses deck is my favorite. You can pick a card that has something to do with a need you have. Like lets say I want obstacles overcome or I want to start a new venture. I go through the deck and find Ganesh, of which those needs are among his blessings. I can chant the mantra that is on the back of the card, read the short "meditation/prayer", and maybe display the card somewhere, burn incense next to it, whatever you want to do.
My only problem is that I don't know how to pronounce the mantras. So I would need help. I don't think they would be hard to pronounce but I just don't know how certain letters and vowels sound. Maybe someone knowledgeable in that, can help me and I could PM you the mantra I want to use and maybe you could type it out as it would sound in english. I think they might have already done so. But still I might need help.
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know of these beautiful decks, for those interested in Hindu culture and beliefs. You won't be disappointed.
