Now this is a deck I won't slam. I have Plenty of the most popular tarot/oracle decks and I would say this is one of the best. The descriptions are great and in depth. I hate those that are basic and lacking meaning. this one is far from it. If you aren't sure about it and you want to get an idea of the cards, go to their website and they have a basic card reading on it for free. That's how I discovered them and liked them so much I bought the deck. I don't regret it either. The book is great and it gives you tons of spreads to try. There is just a great overall feel to this deck and I work with this one more then most. Doreen's cards seem to be collecting dust.

The wisdom of Osho contained in this illuminating book and card set transcends the ego's need to look for outer validation, to worship others, and instead will bring you the wisdom to become and integrate the wisdom and enlightenment that the Enlightened or "Awakened" ones have sought to teach humanity.

Osho Zen Tarot teaches us to be fully ALIVE and to live with joy, to interact with others in compassion, to shed the ego's domain of fear that seeks to control all elements that exist outside of us, and to embrace our child-like wonder to experience life completely in the here and now.

The path to freedom is written simply, and the wisdom profoundly applicable once you are open to its teachings. Osho's own words in this breathtaking book states: "It is the capacity not to worship buddhas but to BECOME a buddha, not to follow others, but to develop the awareness within that brings a quality of light and love to all that we do."

I HIGHLY recommend this book not only for the reading you can do, but for the divine and illuminated wisdom it will bring to you so that you may live your life with the peace and joy you deserve.

Many of the tools available that one could use in a Jungian way unfortunately are very fear based. This is one of the few that is very very clean - I would highly recommend the system to trained readers and novices alike.

The Osho Zen Tarot is such an amazing tarot deck. I initially picked it for its beautiful artwork and positive energies, but this deck has become my very favourite to use because of the strong connection I have been able to establish with it. Of course it depends on the person and the deck, and how well they complement eachother, but based on the other reviews I've come to the conclusion that just about anyone can form a good connection with this deck. For me, and most likely other experienced Tarot readers, the connection was almost instantaneous and has continued to grow ever since. With all of the positive messages and bright imagery, it is such a pleasure to work with this deck.

These cards are great. I have enjoyed using them as a way of looking at life, in a different, more positive way. It gets you thinking about certain things in your life. I have found these cards to be quite accurate with how I am feeling. I would recommend these cards to anybody, especially if you would like help looking at life differently. They are very positive. You do not have to be a professional tarot card reader to like these.

I've picked up the Zen Tarot numerous times in the last few years, mainly to understand what is going on in my life, what attitude would serve me when confronted with unknown situations and unpredictable people ...
I was first exposed to it in a virtual Dream Work class where we conclude every dream with a "reading" from Osho (or Rumi). What I most appreciate is the clarity and humor in this guidance. I've laughed a lot and always recognized ego's expressions in the material world. Anyone ready to grow and change will tremendously benefit from this. The illustrations by Ma Deva Padma are simply divine. Enjoy.

As soon as I unwrapped and shuffled this set, I did a "Celtic Cross" reading and was pretty amazed. For this first quickie "out of the box" reading, and without having read any of the commentary on the individual cards, I was gifted with a very insightful reading on my general situation at the time. It took all of five minutes. Very intuitive indeed!

The card symbolism is fresh but the artwork is, for me at least, a bit variable in quality. As far as general "feel" goes, I can only gauge by the other decks I've tried, which aren't many. The readings do seem "softer" than my work with the Rider-Waite deck -- which seems to take a pretty clear-eyed, hard-edged view of things -- and certainly less dramatic than my William Blake deck.

But while perhaps somewhat softer in atmosphere and feel than many decks, Osho Zen Tarot doesn't gloss over the hard questions. I receive quieter but still tough responses from these cards, if the situation demands it. Given its intuitiveness and "measured" feel, this deck seems especially suited for my daily one-card reading.

Other decks may have a bit more depth to them in terms of symbolic complexity and intellectual appeal, but this isn't Tarot Lite by any means. I'm probably going to save my "bigger" inquiries for other decks, but as a quick and refreshing start to your day, I think Osho Zen Tarot would be hard to beat.

This is a beautiful and poignant Tarot Deck. I received it as a gift several years ago, when I finally dusted it off and started reading through it, it is very easy to learn. The pictures are beautiful and the cards give full descriptions. The book is a wonderful teacher, with a little work. They work well as meditation cards, also. I have found that there is little interpretation needed as with traditional Tarot Cards. And every reading has been illuminating and very correct. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this deck. The book explains things easily and gives explanations on how to solve problems, versus just telling you the problem.

The illustration in each card of this tarot deck is so expressive and well made that for the most of the time, all I need to do is to pick a card and pay close attention to its drawings. Not enough, the book that comes with it has great words of wisdom, and it gave me the most experience in interpretating each card. The set comes in a plastic box with the correct place for the cards and book. It looks pretty much like a VHS case with the cards and book organized inside. Also, the cards were made out of good material that make them last.
A must have for those who want to get in touch with the 'real self'.

Never before has a tarot deck so totally touched me and brought me insights into my own life. I have always used tarot as a way to better understand myself and my own life and to help others understand where they are at and where they are going. This deck has been purely magical in the way in which it gets at the spiritual principles that impact our lives -- I have been able to view life with a whole new perspective. The images are gorgeous and the book that comes with it is full of amazing insights and thoughtful commentary on potential meaning of the cards. I own over 10 tarot decks and this the one I keep coming back to over again. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to better understand themselves!
