Does anyone have this deck? 64 cards and book set. I cannot find any scans of the cards.
The website has an online interpretation for one card at a time, but doesn't show the card backs. The way the interpretation is displayed suggests that the meanings
are the card back....?

Wondering about the cardstock, lamination (or not)....etc.

Hi Bee!
I have this set, and even though I haven't used it very often, it is a very attractive deck of cards. In my experience, it also provides honest and direct readings. I like using it for one or two card readings~ either advice for the day or possible solutions to a problem. You can read them intuitively by looking carefully at the images and/or keyword, or refer to the book for more specific information about the card's meaning.
The card backs do not include the card meaning; they are a pretty red color with a yin-yang octogon in the center, surrounded by an Asian dragon. The octogon contains all eight possible trigrams found in the I Ching.
Here is a picture of the box cover, which is also what the card backs look like:

The cards themselves are good quality, IMO....medium-thickness with rounded corners and a nice satin finish. Not varnished in plastic....they feel like actual cards, and shuffle beautifully.
I would recommend these if you are interested in learning more about the I Ching, if you enjoy Asian-style artwork, or if you are in the mood to try something a little different. Also, if you are a fan of the Tao Oracle (another I Ching oracle deck), you would probably also enjoy the I Ching Tarot (which is not really a "tarot"....but it is an excellent oracle).
