I've read alot of people who say that Doreen Virtue's decks and books are too fluffy or goody goody. They say there's not enough negativity or reality in her stuff. And I can see where they're coming from.
But.....I love reading her books and using her oracles just for that reason. They put me in a positive mood - a positive outlook on my day/week/life/etc. Is that wrong? I don't think so - at least for me it's not at all! It's very helpful.
I know alot of you want reality in your readings. Well actually I do too when I'm doing a straight reading to find out which physical direction I should be taking. But I use Doreen's decks to find out what I should be mentally concentrating on to make my life easier and flow better. When I'm focusing on something positive throughout my day it helps me feel positive - which in turn makes my life happier.
I totally believe that what you think about - concentrate on - is what you draw to you. So I don't want to use a deck where I could draw a "negative" card as my daily card. One day when I was still using my tarot decks to do daily readings (3 card spread) I got three 5's!! I immediately though "uh oh! wow! this is going to be some day!" Of course it was. Now with all those five's it was definitely a day of change and conflict! But what's to say I didn't in some way bring about some of that myself because I "knew" I was going to have a day like that?
I absolutely use my tarot decks and other oracle decks that have "negative" cards in them. But I also would never give up my Doreen Virtue "fluffy / goody goody" decks either. What's wrong with decks you can't get a "negative" card from? Why do some of you think these decks are bad?
I'm not in the least trying to start something..... LOL I'm truly curious to hear your opinions. Like I said before I've read quite a few people say this is why they don't like Doreen's decks (too fluffy) but nobody has ever said why they think that is bad????
