So far I've got only two items created by Osho - The Book of Secrets, which I had to get because I am passionate about Shiva sutras, and the Zen Tarot deck, as I am a Tarot cards collector and when I read Osho's interpretations in either of these two works, it's not just like reading a book or tarot card interpretation, but rather like savoring honey drops of wisdom. Often I may ask a question, pull out a Zen Tarot card and find myself spontaneously contemplating the wisdom expressed in that card for days to come, not just intellectually, but feeling and experiencing it with my whole being. The experience is that of awe and sheer delight.

I have many beautiful Tarot decks and I tend to use different decks for different purposes, but this one is in a category of its own and I highly recommend it to those who are actively involved in their own spiritual unfoldment. Your soul will rejoice.

I should add here that while this deck contains 78 cards like any other tarot and the interpretations of the cards are in the spirit of the tarot, the imagery on the cards is very different and it is particularly suited for bringing out information most appropriate for one's spiritual unfoldment.

And the end of the enclosed booklet there are suggestions for several spreads, however I personally prefer to pull out only one card from this deck rather than doing spreads. I use other decks for spreads. With this deck, for me, it's more like each card is like having a "full meal", and gives me plenty to contemplate.

Je suis très heureuse d'avoir acheté ce jeu de tarot, les images sont magnifiques et la description des cartes est très reliée aux images.

This deck is always "right on the button" when it comes to answering what the questioner needs to know.
I agree with other reviews in that you only need to "Ask" and one card gives you the answer !!
I ask my question while shuffling and the first card that "pops out" or falls out while your shuffling is your answer - Every Time !!
then if you continue to ask based on that answer,it will continue until you have no more questions about it.
Osho's deck has worked with absolutely everyone too, where's other decks seem to be for certain people.
I've had it since 2005 and all the edges are fuzzy from use, I'll keep it forever or buy a new one if it wears out.

This is my favorite tarot deck. :) I love the artwork and interpretations of all of the cards. The book that comes with it is also great.

Great tool...
I recommend it with joy!
Use it every single day to guide my actions and see things clearly

This zen version of the tarot is truly a wonderful interpretation of an otherwise ancient tool. The images are beautiful and loaded with meaning and the text uses the wisdom of the suites of the tarot, in the immediate way of zen. I truly recommend this deck to anyone looking for a useful divination oracle. It's a great addition to the experienced or beginner alike.

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.
