Customer Reviews

A good starter set!

I just recieved my copy of Parker's Prediction Pack in the mail yesterday, and overall I'm pleased with it, although I was surprised and a little disappointed that the runes with this set are just cardboard that you press out of a sheet...they simulate real runes and will work well enough for learning about how to use runes, but they will not be useful as a permanent set. With the exception of the cardboard runes, however, this is a nice set. The tarot deck is of good quality--it's the Fournier Spanish Tarot, a Marseilles-style deck with plain pip cards, but it differs a little from the traditional Spanish Tarot in that the card titles are given in English, and modern names (High Priestess, etc.) are given for the Majors instead of the traditional names. The cards are easy to handle and shuffle, and the colors are very pleasant. The I-Ching coins have a nice weight and look like authentic coins, even though the accompanying book admits that they are not real Chinese coins. The accompanying book is large, softcover, with a lot of high-quality color pictures. Helpful, thorough, easy-to-understand explanations are given for each of the divination methods (tarot, runes, I-Ching), with some fairly accurate historical background given for each method as well. There is also a "chooser wheel" included with this set, which is designed to help you determine which divination method to use depending on your question and your date of birth. The chooser wheel seems like a waste of cardboard to me, but on the other hand it is kind of a cute idea. If you are new to any of these divination methods, or even if you are just seeking a good Marseilles-style tarot deck, Parker's Prediction Pack is worth buying.

Not really a book - a book plus, plus, plus

Not just a book: here IS a book - on the runes, the Tarot, the I Ching - but here too is a set of Tarot cards, a set of runes, and the three ancient Chinese coins you use to set up the I Ching. Fascinating to try out these three disciplies - they really do answer your queries!
