An Invitation into the Heart of the Divine - Rumi Oracle

I would give this a 4.5, but since I can’t I have decided to round down because the card descriptions are way too long for my liking. Some of them are 3 pages long. And I don’t think the “message” comes off entirely clear for each card. While the artwork, both front and back are beautiful, I was really looking for oracle cards that had clear messages. I don’t think these do. It’s Too wishy washy for my liking, the “meanings” and descriptions. And I find that a lot of the meanings of the cards are very similar to the rest, as in, a lot of similar words are used. It’s kind of hard for me to decipher the message, at least for now. Perhaps I’ll grow into them. I also didn’t like how some of the “honouring rituals” asked me to kind of pray or worship Rumi. I thought it was Rumi oracle cards because of his writing... I don’t think he is someone I can worship. That part I just ignore, especially if it tells me to do some kind of prayer with Rumi.

Great!! Awesome!! I really am a student and fan of Rumi. This deck is amazing and I totally feel connected to it. A lot of people may complain that each card has more than a paragraph of reading to it in the book, but I find that very helpful because the large amount of info allows you to get a theme of full feedback and you can take whatever resonates with you in the words she has beautifully written. The prayers are also a wonderful addition and really helps one understand what they need to do. The only thing I suggest is putting a sticker on top of the name "al-uzza," to cover it, which is the name of one of the cards. Apparently Rumi did not like that name if you read about Islamic history. But the fact that its referring to a star is fine. I almost felt kind of weird while seeing that name so I just covered it with a heart sticker. It might not matter, but I just felt more comfortable after.

These cards are so beautiful. Each image is a work of art in its own right, and each card has a very specific, in-depth reading. I would recommend this deck for more personal use rather than using to give readings to others, although I am sure the person would be very happy with a reading from this deck- it's just SUPER in-depth. Pulling one card can really help you get to the root of an issue and give you some much needed insight. I love this deck, glad I purchased.

Love these! I tend to collect appealing oracle and tarot decks and honestly, I love all of Alana Fairchild's decks. I find each of her decks especially to be filled with insightful wisdom and beautiful artwork. And who doesn't adore Rumi? Fairchild does a beautiful job of embracing the mysticism in this deck.

Better thickness than the journey of love but not as thick as her newest deck, Crystal Mandala Oracle. I'm just thrilled it didn't have the nudity that Sacred Rebels had. Alana treats Rumi like he is a God, I personally know so little of Rumi to know if Rumi is a God or if this is her personal view. She does bring up some Christian themes and Jesus is mentioned a few times. I'm pretty open minded so the Christian themes didn't bother this Witch but I know it can be a deal breaker for some. Would I put this in the same box as Doreen Virtue? No. So if your more Christian than New Ager, I wouldn't say this deck is fully Christin but it lacks any darkness or creepiness that may hold you back.

This deck has become my most trusted companion. It's pure perfection.... I am simply in love with the artwork, it's otherworldly for sure. I read and cherish every single word from the card descriptions, while I am known to have skipped parts from others decks before. I even solemnly perform the suggested rituals at the end of each card description, they don't ask for much. Out of one of the very few reviews I get to write, this one was the absolute must, it's just the best purchase I have made.

Beautiful deck with unusual, long explanations and thoughtful writing for each card/poem. Very intuitive and amazingly accurate. Rumi is the link to the divine and if you are in touch with the divine/spiritual realm, you will likely find this deck to be enlightening and supportive. I like to draw a single card in this deck as it's fairly time-consuming to read the descriptions. However, one card from this deck enhances additional tarot and oracle readings that I do and I really love the beauty and depth of this deck's abilities! Higher energies deck, no lower energy vibes at all.

If you're ready and sincere, prepare to be decidedly stirred by this very beautiful deck and its accompanying booklet. They clearly have been prepared with remarkable integrity and very keen devotion. There is nothing superficial about the approach or the content, and it meets you where you are with substantive responses and enthralling art work. I certainly feel that Rumi's spirit is well served by this dynamic offering. and I feel very fortunate indeed to have made its acquaintance!

The cards are pretty and the cardstock is a decent quality. The book has a good bit of information in it and it's interesting to read. My problem with this deck comes from the unnecessary christian elements. There is a card called The Cloak of Christ. Why?! It ruined my entire experience with this deck and now I hate it. I will be trading this away for something that doesn't try to force christian influences down my throat. Leave that stuff out of my cards and I could have given this deck a much higher rating.

Such holiness emanates from this beautiful oracle. They guide through the sacred journey of divine ecstatic love encarnate. The have arrived into my life at the point in my journey when David came holding love’s key and together we opened the portal to divine union, transcendent and holy. Now that David’s journey has lead him on a different direction, the portal remains open in me and Rumi now leads me closer and closer to experiencing divine love in all that is. May this oracle assist you also on the sacred path of mystical union of heart and spirit. My deepest gratitude to Alana Fairchild for its creation and for her devotion to the path of seeing with the eyes of heaven here on earth.

These are literally the most beautiful cards I've EVER worked with. the divine love and inspriation and clarity that flows from them is astounding. Without even looking at the message of the accompanying book you know exactly what message is supporting you. I recommend these to anyone wishing to connect with higher self and spirit.

One of the most beautiful oracle decks I've ever come across. Very thorough explanations. Beautifully illustrated and written. I saw this deck in the New Age section of my local bookstore and grabbed it right away. As a fan of Rumi and Oracle/Tarot decks, I was thrilled! I've also ordered the Mother Mary deck by Alana Fairchild. Can't wait to receive it!

I received this deck for a birthday gift and I LOVE them! The art is so pretty and the messages are deep and profound. I love the exercises at the end of each reading, often placing your hand(s) on your heart and saying something sacred. This deck is amazing!

This is a stunning deck! The artwork is beautiful and riveting and each card is deep and insightful. I also find this deck to be very encouraging and gentle. It's one of the only decks I turn to when I'm feeling down! I would recommend this deck!

This is a Rumi-lite, fast-food Rumi, Rumi-inspired Alana Fairchild deck. It isn't a Rumi deck by any stretch of the imagination. If you want to understand the "real" Rumi and find strength in his philosophy, unfortunately you will have to do it the old fashion way. You have to actually read a book, or two.
