Oracle of the 7 Energies by Colette Baron-Reid

, 29 Jan 2021

I have several Colette's decks and they are among my favourite as they are on point most times and are delightful to look at. In that regard, this deck fits the Colette's deck philosophy, but providing us with new intuitive insights and approaches to oracle readings.
 
The association of colours to each element, which is shown in the card number marquee matches the colours associated to the 7 chakras. Thus, green goes with the heart chakra, love and relationships. Blue goes with the throat chakra and communication. Purple goes with the third eye chakra and intuition. And so forth.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS DECK
> The cards and guidebook are beautifully packed in a good-quality cardboard box, with a pull-up ribbon to help get the cards out.
> The cards are quite large but not bulky or heavy and they are very flexible and easy to shuffle.
> Original conception. It mixes the four elements, the four tarot suits and the seven chakras.  
> The cards can be used together with the guidebook or on their own.  That is, it's a great deck for intuitive readings using your own system as the images are very evocative and symbolically rich.
> I love having some tarot cards reinvented, like the ace of cups, the ace of hearts, the world, the wheel of fortune, the high priestess, the trickster, and strength.
> No reverse readings.
> Amazing inspiring digital artwork that will get your intuition flowing.
> Good quality print.
> Good value for money. 


ODD TO ME
 > It took me a while to get used to the deck and to customize the meanings for me personally.
> Answers not always relate to my queries.  So, this is, so far, not as mind blowing as other Colette's decks.  
>  The element air, which goes with swords and thought is nowhere to be found in the correspondence table in pages 7 and 8 of the guidebook.  We guess it goes with the 7th suit, devoted to thought and light.
> I found at bit unsettling having images that go together in style and conception as part of different 'suits' as the show a lack of energetic and artistic congruence. For example, card 43 from the light suit is very similar in conception and style to card number 7 from the earth suit; the same can be said of cards no, 5 and 48.
>  Many of the water lilies images fit together as a glove, but they are spread all over the deck with meanings that aren't always there, at least for me. Like the cards 5 body and soul, 45 Spirit of gratitude, and 48 a burst of magic for example.
> Some cards imagery and the intuitive value given to them do not match at all for me. Said differently, there is some sort of mismatch between the message and the image. Examples, 5 Body and soul; 6 It is what it is; 12 bearing fruit;16 royal you; 24 let it go; 35 a tall tale; 37 the oracle gift; 45 a spirit of gratitude, and 48 a burst of magic.
> I wish the cards had been text-less.
