Hello: For some time now I have been looking at this deck and I feel it is beautiful. I really wanna get it but I wanted to ask if anyone has worked with it... what is your vote? I know it is a round deck and that is the only thing that worries me interm sif shuffling etc. But it is just so beautiful...... If anyone works with this deck please share your exeperience so that I can make a more informed decision! :D

last spring, one member here went out on a limb and bought 10 decks w/ the verbal guarantee of members here we would buy them from her. by doing it this way, our total cost per person was around $35 plus postage. it was a great deal and i believe we came thru for her and bought the 9 decks from her. i bought one of the decks from her. it is indeed beautiful. the book that comes w/ it is also good. unfortunately, i can't read w/ it but then i haven't really put extensive time in learning the deck. there is something you need to know about the deck that may make a difference to you. the author and artist of the deck are former members of the bagwan(osho of the osho zen tarot fame) commune. the fall of the osho commune was an extremely painful time for them. putting the deck together is how they worked thru their pain and recovered emotionally from the sense of betrayal they felt towards bagwan. so you have 2 decks that have been inspired by bagwan. one pro and one con. personally, i like the "songs" deck more than osho zen. i find it lighter, warmer and friendlier. it's not as dark and intense. the art of the osho zen is more vivid. the art of "songs" more pastel. "songs" reminds me of the "motherpeace" deck but the art and colors are better. to me it's imp to let you you know that this deck was the product of the healing journey of 2 women. these facts may bother some and draw others. i do recommend the deck if it calls you. i love it and hope to study it more eventually. perhaps there are enough ppl here to go in w/ you for a large order to save money like we did before.

To you all who read my thread "I wish you all what I got today ..." and who are interested in this wonderful deck from New Zealand "Songs for the Journey Home", here is an older thread which is worth reading. Also check the thread by divinerguy about round decks and energy levels. You can get it and other interesting threads about round decks when making a research with "round decks" as keywords. I know I hated the feeling of disappointment when receiving a new deck I was longing for and finding out that it wasn't at all like I had hoped. So my advice is : read as much as you can about the decks you think you "need " ;). Of course, some will call louder than others and grow into obsessions, then you should really get them :) and get your partner to understand this craving as well ... that is the tricky part ;) At the moment, I feel so good with the "Songs" that I really cannot see right now any other interesting deck. Maybe if someone creates the "Cats for the Journey Home" I'll change my mind :D Karen aka Kissa or vice versa

I have had my eye on this deck for a while as well. Being that I love my Osho-Zen deck, what Trythsayer had to say has now elevated my interest in this deck even further .... hmmmmmm must seriously consider purchasing it now ...
