I was wondering if anyone owns this deck. I wanted to know how it reads and im shamelesly asking for some enabling.
It's wonderful. Run, don't walk to the nearest copy!

I got this deck about a month ago and agree with magpie...... go get it.
The art work is stunning, it reads well intuitively or by using the I ching method (all explained in the comprehensive book that is included).
Cardstock is good and nice for shuffling. Benebell Wen has a full review of it on her blog http://benebellwen.com/2015/02/24/deck-review-of-the-tao-oracle-cards-by-ma-deva-padma/
This was wholly responsible for enabling me and I'm pleased I succumbed to it. ☺
I bought this deck because I love the Osho Zen Tarot and they are actually quite different in artwork and style! But similar spiritual theme behind both, both being Zen related. The artwork and card pictures are lovely, you can read intuitively from them easily or use the LWB which contains lots of info on each card. They do have borders with keywords and symbols on each card which I could see that they could annoy some people.
The I-Ching element of it I find a bit pointless. It's not done in the best way and I tend to ignore it. There is an old thread about the Tao on here where people suggest comparing the hexagrams between two cards and see the difference which is a different method to the one suggested in the book where you use coins to make a hexagram and then compare to the card. I don't think it uses I-Ching well and I ignore that part of it (but every card contains I-Ching symbols). You don't need to have any knowledge of I-Ching to use it or use that part of the cards, you can ignore it! But if you wanted to buy it just for that, I would say it's not worth it. If you want to buy it for a good oracle based on Zen and I-Ching principles with lovely pictures then I would say you can't go wrong with it

Id get it anyway. Its too beautiful to pass up. Are you saying the hexagrams dont add up or are accurate to the meaning of the cards? Do you have thread link? Sorry if i misunderstood.
