The 65 cards in the deck are a collage of surrealistic images representing symbols and archetypes that are designed to affect both conscious and subconscious levels of perception. Created by artist Penny Slinger, the cards are a mirroring device that evokes subtle memories, sentiments, desires, or fears. Mediation on the images of The Tantric Dakini Oracle puts the reader in contact with the energies of the Dakinis, opening a path to one's inner world and enhancing the user's faculties of clairvoyance and visualisation. The oracle also uses two layouts to release individual psychic power-the Tree of Life and The Great Universe Map. The Tree of Life depicts the chakra centres of the yoga body to engage the kundalini energies of the individual diviner. The Great Universe Map explores the astrological influences upon individuals and situations. Contains 22 Major Arcana, 40 Minor Arcana representing the four elements, and three additional cards invoking Past, Present, and Future

A deck for changing times
19 Dec 2010
By Patricia E. Gleason
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Dakini Deck seems to speak to these times of rapid change. The reader who works in my shop uses it to clarify or define her Traditional Tarot readings. This gives the recipient a whole different way to examine a reading. As a stand alone deck it is the only one that speaks to me on a personal level. I am an energy worker and the deck takes me to places no other Tarot deck is able to do. I recommend it.

An Esoteric Oracle
3 Feb 2010
By Robert G. Hill
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book/card deck set under the (vague) impression that it was an interpretation of the traditional Tarot cards from the Western Tradition. Upon recieving and then putting it to some use, I've found it to be it's own system, interesting and of very ecclectic roots, although mainly it draws it's imagery from the esoteric and broadly-defined Tantric school of Vedic Hinduism (from India, as opposed to Tibet, etc.).
You'll find the overall structure of the deck to be overtly inspired by the well-known Tarot system, but there are also some I Ching references, and pleasant, but pretty stoned "Be Here Now" kinda themes thrown in as well.
Just to clarify, the word "Tarot" refers mainly to the card deck/oracle system that is, as well as we know, derived mostly from European roots (tho it's a says a lot that some claim it has an even deeper Egyptian -or was it Indian?!- source). By this fuzzy definition, The Tantric Dakini Oracle is not truly a Tarot deck, but most certainly it is functional as an oracle; An oracle for divination, if that's your bag, or just good old inspiration, as well.
The design of the cards are at times flamboyant and humorous, or murky and sinister, and lend themselves quite easily to interpretation, which I enjoy, as it encourages certain readings that are quite novel, especially if one is more used to using the Tarot.
The book included provides some already well-known spreads, such as the Celtic Cross, as examples, and overall does a fairly good job of explaining the cards, although the source of the deck's system is as ambiguous as any other oracle's.
At this point, I've not used this deck as an interpretive guide for anyone other than myself (I'll wait for that until I'm more familiar with the system), but found the cards to resonate in surprising ways (via dreams and synchronicity, to name a few).
