I would love to join this study group. So far I only have Healing with the Angels and Healing with the Fairies. I plan to get the Archangels deck, the Unicorns and possibly Goddesses. I'm looking forward to getting my horse-mad six year old niece the Unicorns deck for Christmas
What Doreen Virtue deck(s) do you favor?
Of the two that I have my favorite is the Healing with the Angels deck. I like that some of the art is older. There are so many details in the cards, like certain flowers and plants.
How did you acquire your deck(s)?
After reading a couple of DV's books, traded two decks with another ATer for Healing with the Angels and Healing with the Fairies. This was just a few months ago. The Virtue oracles are not the kind of thing I ever thought I'd like! But I do like them, so there.
How do you use your cards?
Usually a three card reading, or just one card as a kind of "companion" for the day, thinking of the angel on that card going with me throughout the day. I've done a few readings using the two oracles together, they complement each other well!
What is your most favorite card out of all the decks?
Well, my faves change all the time but I like the Serenity card quite a bit. The Blessings card is not my favorite card art-wise but I love the way it turns up in my readings at just the right time. Kindness is lovely in the fairies deck. It is so hard to pick just one. These cards evoke feelings, which is what I like about them.
What is your least favorable/understood card?
There are a couple of cards in the Fairies deck that I can't stand the art! These tend not to come up in readings though. I won't say which ones as they might be someone else's favorites.
What else is important to you regarding discussion of these decks?
How to read beyond the meaning printed on the cards. I like to read the cards visually, looking at the details and interpreting them. I also see most of them as having a continuum of meaning from negative to positive. But then I sometimes wonder if I am doing the querant a disservice by bringing in some of that. Would like to find out how other readers expand the meanings while remaining accurate. Also, would like to practice more!!
