The Canon's read
Tarot Canon's own assessment, written for this catalog.
Radleigh Valentine's partnership with Doreen Virtue produced this full seventy-eight card tarot, distinct from their forty-four card oracles: the Archangel Power Tarot, empowerment-focused, beginner-friendly, the archangels presiding over a complete tarot structure with the darkness dialed to encouraging. The review notes Virtue's scale, twenty-six decks, fifty books, and this deck's role in it: the tarot-shaped door for readers her oracles had prepared.
As with the pair's Angel Answers in this catalog, the design is honest about its audience: tarot's machinery with the intimidation removed, cards renamed and reframed where tradition frightens. The empowerment register makes it the Connolly question again in angelic dress: gentled tarot serves real readers, and gentling has costs the catalog's standing verdict names. It suits Virtue-Valentine readers graduating from oracles, angel-practice beginners wanting full spreads, and collectors of the empire's tarot wing. Readers who want archangels with their Old Testament voltage intact have the Place-Guiley deck; the contrast is educational.
