Visually Stunning Oracle Deck,
December 30, 2007 This review is from: Madame Endora's Fortune Cards (Cards)
This is a visually stunning Oracle deck created by Christine Filipak and Joseph Vargo of Monolith Graphics. The dramatic artwork is done in a beautifully detailed Art Nouveau style, and combines Egyptian, Greek and Celtic mythologies with Norse, Alchemical, Astrological, and Pagan symbolism. Each card contains a key phrase giving a hint to the meaning, and are easily read upright or reversed. The 48 cards are divided into 5 different categories:
I. The Royal Court - these cards represent powerful influences in the life of the querent, or person asking the question. Here we find The King, The Queen, The Wizard, The Seer, The Knight, The Maiden, The Minstrel and The Harlequin.
2. The Realm of Fable - these cards represent the outside forces that guide and influence the querent. In this category, we have The Golem, The Greenman, Hindrance, Medusa, The Satyr, Seduction, Serendipity, The Siren, The Sphinx, and The Spirit.
3. The Bestiary houses creatures...

Easy to learn, beautifully illustrated!,
August 15, 2005 This review is from: Madame Endora's Fortune Cards (Cards)
I finally ordered this set of cards through Amazon and was not disappointed. This is NOT tarot, but work much the same way. It is a great way to introduce fortune telling into your life. The art is very nice. The images are easy to memorize, this is not really required, the cards speak for themselves.(literally, the meanings are written on the cards)
I really admire the deck's artistry, especially the backs. It is as if the cards came from some time forgotten cabinet of curiousities. The feel is geared toward gothic style interpretation without totally leaning on the dark side. The deck's big brother Gothic Tarot is much more serious, as this deals with the classical archetypes directly. Madame Endora could almost be consided a new ager. There is nothing wrong with this at all!
This deck could be easily used by children at a sleep overs and not cause too many nightmares. It is a great place to begin for the amature to turn professional.

Nice cards, Easy to Read, Positive Messages,
July 25, 2005 This review is from: Madame Endora's Fortune Cards (Cards)
I've used these cards a few time now and like them very much. Madame Endora's Fortune Cards have a mystical feeling to them like Tarot but are much easier to read. The little book that comes with the deck gives a few layouts that work quite well and it is easy to come up with your own,too. The cards have nice art work that matches the meaning of the card - the meaning is printed on the card face and a more in-depth meaning is included in the book. I find it very easy to use my intuition to know what each card means in its position in the layout. The messages these cards give are very up-beat and positive. If you would like to try your hand at fortune telling and don't want to spend months or years learing the Tarot these are an excellent choice.
