The Vibrational Energy is a highly insightful 52 card oracle deck that can be used for daily draws, meditations, an add-on to a reading, and even full readings.
The deck and guidebook are housed inside a heavy duty lift-off top box. The cards measure 3" wide x 5" tall. The finish is slightly glossy. The edges of the cards are a bit sharp, but I expect those to soften with use. The cards individually are flexible, but riffle bridge shuffling is a bit stiff and they don't fan well, but fanning powder will solve that quickly.
The card fronts have a 1/8" border on the top and sides and a 3/8" border on the bottom which houses the title of the card. The card backs are reversible. However, the deck is designed to be used in the upright position.
The artwork has a very grounded energy and feels almost zen-like.
Mythical
Changeling shows us a woman transforming into a butterfly, or is it vice-versa?
The guidebook offers “Accept this new and exciting vibration as you
transform and morph into the changeling you have always been.”
Quiet Times features a serene face, over a watery surface and blue sky background, with soft, white stars above. The guidebook says “let yourself bathe in the hush of peace and tranquility, so you can soothe your soul…”
The “F” Word almost looks like an old time typewriter "F" key
surrounded by an ornate design. The guidebook says that it means
whatever you think at the time. The booklet also goes on to mention
"Fixation, Frustrated, Fasting, Fool... Take your "F"
word and shout it out." The guidebook is 80 pages and measures
the same size as the cards. It contains an original spread and is
illustrated with a black and white image of each card, along with an
interpretation for each.
This
deck is easy to use and provides clear messages. The deck and
guidebook can be used right out of the box by the novice through
professional. A professional tarot reader might pull a card from the Vibrational Energy Oracle as a way to wrap up their traditional reading.
