This is very interesting after the channeled messages I’ve heard from Mary Magdalene. I don’t know much about her in the mystical tradition, but find her wisdom very deep and wise.
Same! That's why when I saw she had a book, I asked Hay House if I could receive it with the deck. And you know what? I'm glad I did because the book goes into more depth on the seven powers, which the oracle deck has cards for. So, they make a nice deep dive combo.
Thanks for this review. I spotted this deck on my little island bookshop the other day, and was going to buy it but hesitated because of price (island prices) I’m glad now I waited. After watching and hoping with this review, I find I’m disappointed. The artwork is lovely and has the right tone (although I’m not generally wowed by photo faces) but it seems like the author has wasted the opportunity here. I paused on each written page of the guidebook to read for myself - and came away with a strong sense of lack of depth. Since a childhood vision, I’ve felt a strong connection to Mary, and have probably read many of the same source research materials as the author. I found almost nothing to connect to in the card descriptions of the power of her Gospel, message, or her Presence. The gospel quotations are brief, the card messages feel somewhat like shallow platitudes, and repetitive in order to make up a more or less standard number of oracle cards. I really wish this wasn’t my impression- and in fact I felt something less than the Love energy in this deck. The idea is wonderful, but the author has somehow, despite her study of the Magdalene’s story, failed to imbue this deck with her. It feels like a commercial exercise. I’m sorry.
Yeah, prices are crazy now-a-days. I feel like, in terms of the depth, you can only go into so much depth for an oracle without the book being a textbook. She has a separate book on Mary, which I showed in this video. That goes into way more depth on the seven powers and Mary's gospel. Perhaps the book alone would be better suited to you? 😊
I actually came back to amend my original comment. I couldn’t stop thinking about this oracle deck afterwards , and today I bought it. I’m glad I did. As soon as I started handling the cards, I felt as though I’d set my hands into an electric outlet - there is power and meaning here. They are speaking to me. I’m actually looking forward to exploring with them! ❤😅 I think I will purchase her book, too - there’s obviously much more to be explored than can be contained in a little book that accompanies a deck. Thanks for your review and reply - much appreciated. I’d be interested to hear your insights with this deck as they arise over time with use. ❤
@@PiperEMcDermot Haha, I'm glad you ended up getting it and are enjoying it! 😉🥰 You're very welcome! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🥰 I'll for sure talk about this deck when I start to explore and use it! 😍
I am really excited about this deck, the keywords are different and the images are so nice! I will definitely be ordering it! ❤
Yeah! The keywords/phrases are based on teachings from Mary's gospel!
I really love the art! Moonjube did a great job on the collage 😍

Honestly, same to all of that 🤣🥰🥰
I appreciate this walk through because I was really excited about this deck but I don't know if it will be a good fit for me.
Totally get that! Hopefully, this can help with your decision! 🥰
I thibk you're right, it would be worth it to get the book. I don't know anything about her in any depth.
Same!
