[.ca] Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle with Cards (ISBN 1885394330)

precise development & uplifting art!:
The colors & tones of this deck are SO different from any other products I have purchased/reviewed. A photo of the stone is imposed upon the painted artwork. The 6 stones unique to this set are: Earth Keeper crystal, iolite, apatite, shiva lingam, star quartz, & boulder opal. The division by elements/areas is similar to The Crystal Ally Cards & the Crystal Journey Cards, but is a completely "new" system of association. To my knowledge, there is no other deck so precisely built around a specific discipline. The skandhas are from sacred geometry: cube, icosahedron, (merkabah)star tetrahedron, octahedron & dodecahedron. The lotus blossom on each of the 8 cards per elemental "suit" are that chakra's color: red, orange, yellow, *emerald, *rose, blue, indigo, purple. (note: the heart chakra uses these 2*) There are 10 readings/layouts.

Very Enthralling In Depth Study Of Crystals...Beautiful:
I was very pleased to recieve this Tarot as a gift and I have been using it ever since.I read tarot quite a bit and am absolutely thrilled to come across a tarot deck that combines crystals and Buddhism. I am not a particularly interested in Buddhism, but after reading the booklet I have come across many insightful "gems" and a new appreciation for Buddhism.I am now much more knowledgable about the properties of crystals and minerals. I highly recommend this deck.

Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle:
I love this book and card deck! Of all the books I've read about crystals, this is the most comprehensive book I've seen! The card deck is great for readings! This book links crystals to the metaphysical and physical parts of human beings in a way that makes so much sense. Now I really understand why crystals affect us. And the cards are great! Whenever I get a cold or feel down about something, I just get out the deck of cards and give myself a reading from the "Jewels of the Lotus." The reading is always right on track - I come away with insights into the situation and then I make progress by using what I learned. This is a long overdue book and card deck - it is definitely on my gift list for my favorite people! -Gena Parkhurst Chicago, IL

Beautifully illustrated and written:
A great book to learn about healing and channeling your energies in a more positive way. The book has many 'gems' in terms of ideas, thoughts, and basic healthly, positive principles of living -- for the novice to the expert person who is on a spiritual quest to a more fulfilling life. Buy it!

Beautiful artwork and insightfully written!:
I purchased this set when it was first published and use it quite frequently. After realizing that the simplicity of knowledge and beauty of the cards might have a very positive effect on others, I continue to give this gift of Dawn's work to clients in my counseling business. Dawn is extremely talented and very insightful. Her work is easily understandable for the novice, while also informative for those more literate in Tibetan ways. Let's hope she publishes other works for us in the near future!
