Over the years I have accumulated a sizable collection of insightful card decks. Many of the decks in my collection are of the Tarot, but not all. Listed here are a few of my favorite divination/intuitive decks.

1. Aquarian Tarot

Perhaps it is because my rising is Aquarius, but I find the images in this deck quite alluring. The artwork is simple and clean cut with a white background that allows me to quickly pick up on the meanings. The characters depicted in this tarot deck seem to jump off the cards and speak to you.The characters depicted in the Aquarian Tarot seem to jump off the cards and speak to you.

I LOVE this set of cards. The deck is fun to use by yourself for enlightenment purposes. Or bring the cards out to play with among your family/friends to spark some conversation. The layout of these puzzle cards will reveal images that tell a story. The artwork is fabulous as well.

I fell in love with these cards instantly. Each card has a purpose along with a healing technique that you can apply to achieve that purpose. For example, the Listening Card offers a technique to help you communicate with your higher self. The Freshen Up Card offers a combination exercise/breath/sound technique that purifies the body and revives your energy at the end of an exhaustive day.
