Yesterday, I discovered their existence on ebay. Just bought Crystal Deva, wasn't that interested in Ally.
Also yesterday, Went to a development circle at new age shop, found two decks of Ally, never seen them before in person.
While there, a strange guy came in and while talking to person on phone, had person confirm that the Ally deck was the one she was looking for.
Bought the deck. I mean, really.
I had checked it out before the circle, and thought wow, these are really wonderful, FULL of energy. It was after I came out that the weird guy on the phone showed up.
I bought the last set and slept with them under my pillow. They are intensely lovely. I think they speak to me more than the Deva deck, although I will say that the channelings in the deva deck book are the real treasure for that set.
But I mean, wow...how weird. They are just alive.
PS: The author of the deck is coming to do a day long "using the deck" workshop at this store in Andover MA in December.
