First of all, I love the artwork of these cards. They have a bit of a gothic fairy tale feel to them and the color palette also fits with that impression.
I like that this oracle deck is very versatile, there really is everything between "shadow" and "light" to be found in here and that makes it so realistic to me and applicable in everyday life.

Just beautiful! My favorite deck prior to discovering Oracle of Shadows and Light is the Osho Zen Tarot. Oracle has a more direct, practical take on things versus the more philosophical Osho Zen, which will be very handy in my day-to-day questions. The booklet describes each card and offers 3 parts: About the card; the Card Speaking (directly to you); and a more philosophical Divination Message for a larger viewpoint. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. I immediately bought another set as a gift for my tarot card reader :)

Very first deck by Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket-Griffith that I got and since that I must have every single deck these two ladies made together (but this one stays my favourite!). It is absolutely gorgeous and I felt a very deep connection to the cards from the first sight. The artwork is beautiful, every picture has a different mood and vibrations and the guide book is just perfect, it feels like the fairy (or witch or ghost or whoever) speaks straight to you. I was surprised it was meant to be primarily for teenagers. I use these cards even in my 40´s and they speak right to me. I use the deck on its own, for daily reading, for shadow work or together with tarot cards and reading is very accurate.

I did not original buy these for myself but for my sister. She loved them but when she passed away, I took them home with me. They were not the kind of cards that I would buy, and I do have a large divination collection, but I must admit that once I used them they proved to be very accurate, and so they grew on me. If you like this kind of artwork, which is nice, I would highly recommend them for your collection.

and the art is just so pretty and sweet.
I just got them, so I can't say really much more.
