This just arrived in the mail, and I like it very much. A nice deck from Hay House with gilt edges in a 2 piece box. The cards were stuck together but with a bit of flexing, came apart quite well. They will hold up well to shuffling.
The deck has a Tarot-like structure, with 22 Major Arcana cards, 4 suits of 9 cards each, and the remaining 7 cards are the 7 chakras. All the cards are color coded: black borders for the Majors, red for the Physical suit, green for Emotions, indigo for Mental and violet for Spirit. The chakra cards are also black-bordered. Keywords appear on each card, but are not intrusive. The cards are 3 1/2 by 5 inches, with the images taking up 3 1/8 by 4 1/4 inches, making them quite easy to see clearly. The artwork is very beautiful and colorful.
Included with the deck is a 170 page guidebook, which includes information on all the cards, color, numerology and psychic development. Four spreads are also included: single-card, 3 card, 5 card and yearly forecast. A black & white illustration of each card appears in the book.
According to the book, "If one of the Chakra Cards is drawn, it's a reminder to be aware of that particular energy center and the qualities it represents, and apply that information accordingly to the reading of the cards or spread." No sample readings are included. Also, " This deck isn't meant to have reverse card interpretations...The purpose of the Psychic Tarot Oracle is to create positive experiences, not to reflect or heighten negative meanings."
I am very glad I got this deck and think I will work with it often. I think it will work equally well as tarot or oracle. I'm not sure if or how I will incorporate the chakra cards, though. It's a great set at a great price.

. It serves a purpose I suppose, but not for me.
