ive just been reading the reviews on these cards and i have to say that some people must have too much time their hands! whats the point of even bothering to write a review if your just going to put something silly and childish.
In all honesty i can relate to both the negative and positive reviews of the ascended master cards. When i first started using the cards i too seemed to get "random" cards which didnt seem to relate to the question i asked, but i perserviered as i felt very drawn to the cards. i think what you need to remember is that the ascended masters are "real" entities their not just pritty pictures on cards... you have to truly want their guidence in order to receive it and be willing to take on board what they say to you, even if its not what you want to hear...
its almost as though the ascended masters take time to warm up to you, well thats how i felt! as they are now my favourite pack of doreen virtue cards and i receieve very accurate messages every time now.
i have found the best way to use the cards is to extensively shuffle them whilst thinking of your problem or question then lay the cards out in a fan and select the cards which you feel most drawn too, pick as many cards as feels right. if you keep getting the same card, or cards repeatedly then the masters are obviously trying to get a very important message across to you that is bigger then the question or problem you are enquiring about.
