The Phoenix Cards

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: The Phoenix Cards  - Reading & Interpreting Past-Life Influences with the Phoenix Deck by Susan Sheppard. Presentation boxed set of 28 cards and instruction book. Published by Destiny Books. Card size: 14cm x 6cm. 

This divination deck is different to the usual oracle deck. Each card represents a different specialised symbol (letter). Cards are placed together to create a past life reading. The book explains how to use the cards, and there is an introduction to the topic of past lives with a creative meditation to open up the way to understanding past lives. In addition to the number and image on each card, there is a short keyphrase of 6 words and 8 categories with explanations of the Symbol, Place, Time, Groups, Language Groups, Appearance, Traits and Conclusions of each card. 

 

In addition, there are ruling planets and Rules and Traits for each card, there is a Past Life Mandala provided, and the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto positions with further uses including a 5 card Five-Star, a 3 card Triangle of Manifestation and a 4 card Four Elements Spreads suggestions.

I found this deck complex and I researched more online from the information provided about each past life described in the book. Some of the suggestions for past lives I was unable to relate to. I will perform some readings for friends to find out to what degree they relate to the information. I am doing more research on this. Provisional review by Wendy Stokes  https://wendystokes.co.uk
