I just got the new Sonia Choquette 'The Answer is Simple Oracle Cards' deck.
WHAT A beauty. The artwork on this one is *really* very different than her other decks (which tend to have a kind of strange modernistic look with colorful figures and shapes that I never "engaged" with). The illustrations here are GORGEOUS and detailed (I wish I could scan and show a picture of the cards! I don't have a membership here yet! -and I haven't seen any scans online yet)
The quality of the cover-art (see the page on Amazon) gives you an idea and shows the quality of the stunningly deep color-pencil illustrations on the 62 cards. Really charming, evocative and packed with tiny observations almost like a childrens' book but not condescending or simplistic. Whimsical pictures accompany clever messages. There is a marching troupe of tiny fairies tromping through a dark-twilight scene each carrying a little flower lamp glowing for "Spread the Light" and there is an AMAZING picture of two ladies meeting in a park in dense, misty-fog for "Clear the Fog". Each card is a real feast for the eyes and several of them made me chuckle (in a good way).
The deck is supposed to be used for elevating your spirit above fear and ego and "thoughts of the day" readings, problem-solving spreads and life-purpose readings are possible. The messages are "Simple Truths" and fans of Doreen Virtue's decks should like this Choquette deck (as well as non-fans who don't like messages which are too-specific or cloying.) - this one has a lot of depth to it. It resonated with me WAY more than any of her other decks.
Anyone else have this yet?
