Absolutely Love!
The media could not be loaded. I love this deck so much. I’m new to readings and these cards have not disappointed. The deck is large and I have small hands so I have to shuffle in batches. I saw some people saying they were missing cards or they’re too thin, well the first thing I did was separate and count them. I found some were stuck together but once I took them apart I haven’t had an issue. All cards accounted for! The packaging is wonderful and cards aren’t thin at all. The book could be a tad smaller. Overall this is a great spiritually enlightening deck!

PROFOUND TOOL FOR THE HIGHER SELF
I love this tool and very informative guidebook so much more now that I see myself in a new light. It is probably going to be my best communication tool with the elements of alchemy in mind and in practice. I have alot of other tools in the form of oracles, but this one speaks to the reader on multiple levels. Shaman Durek, you have certainly hit the mark with this one. Thank you!

Beautiful and ACCURATE deck!
The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: I’ve been using these for about a week every day and I have to say they are SPOT ON. Like, crazy accurate. They definitely carry some magic in them. They are shuffling beautifully, and I feel an energy of support in them that is very grounding.The cards are STUNNING. I mean… out of this world. I love their messages and have been using them daily since I got them.One little thing I am also noticing is that the box they come in is not good for storing them. The four cut outs in which they arrived in, separating the elements is not really conducive to daily use/storage. Cutting them into 4 each day and putting them in the box is one way I tried to store them. But I have to tip the box upside down to release the cards and so they all kind of fall all over the place. I have been stacking them in one pile for convenience, but the box doesn’t close as the stack is too tall. Anyway, it’s up to me to find another storage method. It does NOT STOP ME from using the deck because they are POWERFUL cards. Just a minor design flaw, imho.Original review 5/10/2022:I just received these cards today after pre-ordering them and am delighted! They are gorgeous! I love Shaman Durek and am a total fan. I’ve read his book, listened to his podcast, had a session with him, and taken part in many workshops with him. He always delivers and this deck is no different.If you love oracle cards you will love these. The imagery is out of this world and not like any other deck I’ve seen. The packaging is splendid, and the accompanying guidebook is high quality and full of richness.I have a couple of reasons to deduct one star from this product. Firstly, Amazon’s shipping is becoming a real bummer. This gorgeous box was sent in one of Amazon’s plastic envelopes, so of course, my lovely new box is dented in several places. Ugh! Not happy about that (especially since I received something from Amazon just days ago that was broken, a glass item had been sent in an envelope! Why?!) so I would highly recommend you pick this set up at a different retailer.Secondly, the card stock is a little thinner than I would like. The paper stock for the book is incredible and high quality, but the cards themselves are a teensy bit flimsy for my taste. I am a Tarot reader, and have done that professionally in years gone by, so card reading is kind of my thing. I own many decks of both Tarot and Oracle cards. I know that without thick card stock, the cards will not survive intact after being shuffled repeatedly. These do have a coating on them that might protect them for a bit, but I expect the corners to show wear and tear pretty quickly. Still, this is speculative and not confirmed as yet as I did only get them today.I should also note, the images in the guidebook are not in color. I am totally ok with that, as that is pretty commonplace for accompanying books, and it doesn’t detract from the usefulness and beauty of the book itself.I would have wished for each section (fire, sky, earth, water, etc) to be individually listed and referenced in the content page. There is no way to find the corresponding page for each card easily - you have to flip through the pages to find your card. I expect my need to consult a guidebook will diminish over time as I become familiar with the cards, so this is a minor issue. But for folks who will always use the guidebook, this could be an inconvenience. As a fix, you can either turn the pages for each section, or put post-it-note page markers on them.I would have wished that the numbers on the cards corresponded to the page numbers, or to something. There seems to be no correspondence to the numbers on each card and the numbers aren’t mentioned in the guidebook.I really love the ideas for the spreads and how to work with the cards for healing. It’s a new approach and absolutely brilliant.Overall, this deck does deserve 5 stars, and you should DEFINITELY get it. But I had to take off one star for the few things that kind of added up for me. Honestly the poor delivery and denting of the box is the most annoying thing. What’s the point of ordering online if your new things frequently arrive damaged?!Thanks Shaman Durek, these are truly beautiful and I look forward to using them often.

The only self guide you need!
After listening to Shaman Durek’s Spirit Hacking audiobook, I knew I had to check this out for myself. I can honestly say this deck is incredible. The artwork and feel of the cards are genuinely outstanding. If you’re on your own spiritual journey and want to step up to your full potential, get this. You won’t be disappointed!

Missing cards
I read the reviews about how this is not the typical deck + the guidebook is difficult to follow. This did not delay my purchase, however, my deck was actually missing card numbers 66, 70, 74, and 81. The guidebook does include specific spreads if you’d like to try them and I honestly only find out cards were missing because I needed those cards to complete the spread. They’re aesthetically incredibly beautiful and seem profound, but I returned the product and have not repurchased due to the missing cards in the deck.

Very nice
As you can see from the pics , the book is huge. It was packaged very nicely and I’m pleased. To be honest , I didn’t get it for the art work, but for the practical application. I have been trying so hard to connect with the elementals & master their wisdom. I haven’t used the deck yet to give my opinion on whether I have connected successfully but I promise I’ll do an update. There are some pretty cool spreads & rituals for manifesting which I’m eager to try. I don’t want to spoil it for you but there is one called “home manifesting chamber.”

Lovely card deck with some packaging issue
I am impressed by the artwork and how the cards are being delivered however, the glue that is holding the bind has weakened, otherwise it is awesome

Amazing!
I was searching for an oracle deck for a friend and kept getting drawn back to these. I read some negative reviews and continued to search, but my intuition wouldn’t stop screaming. She opened her gift today and we did a reading.. omg. These are stellar. Needless to say, I had to have my own! The thin cardstock (not even that bad) and different ordering/index system in the book are minuscule considerations next to the compelling art which speaks its own language and beautiful little write ups. Can’t wait to have my own!

Stunning
I can't believe this package is so inexpensive. It's absolutely stunning! The book is huge and so many beautiful cards. It's a big package of love and life! This deck is by far the most spiritual deck I've seen so far, and I have around 40. I love everything about it. Even the sample readings are different from anything I've practiced. I can't say enough about this Planetary Toolkit.
