Enchanted Luna
I guess my Doreen Virtue decks...
I don't have that many oracle decks (working on changing that haha!) but I have a few. I used to like the Doreen Virtue decks (please don't throw the tomatoes yet lol!) And I purchased the Healing with the Angels, and the Saints and Angels one. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them in the beginning, as they are very gentle, soothing cards. But then....I guess DV overload? Too much sweetness? Too many decks at the shop - I mean it seemed like there was a new deck each week! I love fairies, angels and that sort of thing. But there is a limit. And to be honest, I really started to feel like the artwork was getting sketchy in some of the decks. Like some cards really stood out as well done, and other cards looked juvenile or hastily done/chosen. I wish I could remember which DV deck specifically I was looking at that really made me go blech! It really gave the impression of too many artists in one deck? The cards just didn't flow and it was all over the map.
And don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that there is a market for these decks and that people love them and feel good about using them. Personally, I haven't pulled either of these decks out in ages. In fact, I moved not that long ago, and I know they're still at my parent's place with other unnecessary storage-y type stuff lol, whereas all my other decks were the first things I packed lol. Will I pull these decks out again? Probably, when I'm feeling really down and need a soothing hug type of "reading" but they just don't have that much substance for me. I think these decks are great to lend a friend who is going through a tough time, or for yourself for that matter, as gentle, loving support. But that's about it. Will I keep my two DV decks that I have? Yes, I think so, because they have a place, and I personally feel they're two of the best DV decks that are available, but I don't see myself pulling them out all that often.
Good thread! I like to read what people like and don't like too
