Osho Zen Tarot Pocket Edition: The Transcendental Game of Zen

Ideal.

The artwork on this deck is just stunning. I love beautiful cards and this deck delivers in that category. I find this deck good for meditative readings. It's not the same as a traditional deck, so if you're looking for your standard tarot suits this is not the deck for you. Instead it has it's own format, but I find it quite enjoyable. I have read with it on myself and find that it is very "zen" as it says. Many of the cards give lots of perspective and insight and leave me really considering how it applies or can be applied into my life for self improvement. I have also done readings on others using this deck. It's interesting to read with it on others. I find it slightly more difficult, but that may be either the fact that its a new-to-me deck that I am unfamiliar with. It is definitely a meditative deck and I think really leaves a lot of open ended thought provoking conclusions. The feedback from my readings was excellent and I believe the people I have tried it on enjoyed their readings just as much as they would have with a traditional deck. I would call this deck the boho/hippie deck of tarot! Its meanings remind me a lot of things I've also learned through yoga practice and meditation. If you are new to tarot reading and want to use a deck for reading to others I would suggest starting with a traditional deck before diving into these types. If you would like to use the deck just for yourself it comes with a great book and you could definitely use this book and deck as guided meditation or advice seeking when you find conflict arising in your life or just for general insight.

I won't write the headline in caps because if you are attracted to this post it was meant for you. I am in such gratitude for these gorgeous and sightful cards. I have had an auto connect with these cards from the minute I opened the package. They have literally changed my spiritual life and soon my mundane one as well. I have been practicing meditation and reading for friends and family. Now I am currently reading for strangers and let me tell you these cards have helped with scary accuracy. At first I just read what I saw on the images, whatever popped out to me I told the client. Many felt ths reading related but wanted more depth. I wasn't going to satisfy their need for depth by lying. I instead was patient and kept up practice. Yesterday for the first time I started getting strong messages from the cards that made me aware a shift was happening. At first I was hesitant to get "specific" but I decided to just go for it. When I got my first confirmation, literally I was speechless. I've always been empathic but wrote it off as "woman's intuition" until yesterday. Now I am getting more messages, sometimes images and great feedback. I currently offer free readings if you want to see for yourself and read through this whole post. If you are thinking of getting these cards, go for it but know they will not connect with everyone. And they sure do not deserve anything lower than a 5 star view lol. Enjoy the journey. And thank you if you did read this entire post. Be blessed. Love & Light )0( Update (01/31/17): A few months later and I still wouldn't trade these cards for ANY other deck. When I first chose this deck it was because it called to me. Yesterday was the first time since a second deck has called to me ALMOST as strongly haha. I still use Osho in my readings but only for my clients who are attracted to it (since then I've only attained 3 other decks). Also I now charge for my readings but at a pretty resonable price. Still great feedback. I am very grateful to have come across this deck <3 I hope those who bought it have a similar experience. Stay blessed x

These are not your usual tarot cards. These are much more. The imagery, the explanations are helping you on the spiritual path. Each card is a satsang.

The Osho Zen Tarot is a beautiful and serene, not your usual traditional tarot cards. It speaks to your inner self, tuning in to your most sensitive and passionate self. I chose three of my favorite cards in this tarot deck: 1. The No-thingness card - totally black card. The 176 page book describes it as - because the nothing is not just nothing-it is all! It is vibrant with all possiblities, etc..... 2, Slowing down - a large tortoise wading through the mud and weeds - we are like the tortoise, we carry our home with us, wherever we go. There is no need to hurry, to let go of expectations you've had about yourself or other people. The last paragraph of the commentary is the keyword - The essence is at ease. Do whatsoever you are doing, but at the deepest core remain at ease, cool, calm and centered. Slowing down is so beautifully said-I cannot say it more graciously! 3. Existence - One of the major arcana card that comes after the Fool. A picture of the back of a naked - long hair woman sitting on a lotus leaf of perfection. I love the way the book describes this No.1 Major Arcana card - you are not accidental. Existence needs you. Quoting the last sentence " Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you in all dimensions." This is very calming, it speaks directly into your heart and soul and gives "one" peace and serenity within. You will learn to slow down and become one with Zen!

I own many tarot and oracle decks. I love this deck for its artwork. Its is inspiring and optimistic. Certain cards feel a bit stupid like the nothing card and schizophrenia. The booklet can help tarot beginners. Some examples of Card and Images: Breakthrough = man raising his fist and pieces falling away from him as if he were encased in red cement. Stunning yet gives you the exact idea needed. Lovers- Two people facing each other above a geometric shape, red heart with two faces in gentle outline, and red roses underneath. Beautiful and very clever. Patience: Woman with pregnant belly sitting calmly among rainbow colored foliage and moons in every phase across the top of the card. Ingenious use of lines and color. The Dream: woman watching daydream/vision of lovers embrace in night sky. Guidance: Angel in rainbow, mostly yellow, orange, red color against blue night sky and woman standing as Angel rushes past her. Slowing Down; Turtle on brown ground crawling past forest and various colored plants. Adventure: Child walking with back turned walking into rainbow colored forest and black edges on card. Understanding: Gold bird flying up when 5 gold birds flying down in background. Nice. You get the picture: Clear cut words and non traditional images used to evoke powerful emotions to give you the message from the Universe. I use my intuition so much, I threw the book and went with the feel I got overall to give a reading. It worked better for me that way. I must say, if you get only one deck (tarot) you might want to try something more traditional to learn tarot first. I bought this after I knew the tarot pretty thoroughly and was able to read from it. If you want to meditate on positive things in life, this deck is useful for that. I have done that with good results, having a good meditation and better perspective on an issue. Visually oriented people and people like modern art would love this deck.

Fun game but not to be used as supernatural

Was super excited to get this deck. It's not as traditional as most tarot decks and the cards can be very intense. Definitely don't want to do a large spread with them as each one is powerful on it's own. Came with a good booklet explaining the cards. There's also a book just for this deck and it goes into greater detail. Will be purchasing the book as a companion to it.
