Yes & No Deck Review
Yes & No Deck

I’m not particularly fond of using “yes” or “no” decks or asking Spirit direct “yes” or “no” questions. I generally avoid using a pendulum for these types of inquiries and encourage querents to rephrase their questions in a more open-ended way, explaining my reasoning and providing guidance on how to do so.
I believe that the future is shaped by human will, which can shift in an instant. There is no predetermined fate; nothing is set in stone. We create our own reality. Because of this perspective, I typically steer clear of “yes” or “no” oracles. However…
I might still turn to this deck from time to time. Although I’m not a fan of asking “yes” or “no” questions due to the definitive nature of the answers, it’s acceptable to explore current energies—as long as both you and your querent understand that these energies are fluid and constantly evolving. For instance, if someone asks whether a person still has feelings for them, Spirit might indicate a “yes” or “no” with this deck, but that answer could change by tomorrow. While we, as readers, grasp this concept, it’s important to remember that the querent might not, which is why I generally prefer to avoid using such decks.
While I’m not particularly fond of strict “yes” or “no” oracle methods like using a pendulum, I do find value in this deck occasionally, especially for personal readings. Most of the cards offer more than just a simple “yes” or “no”—they provide hints, reasoning, and even encourage deeper introspection. Only a few cards give a direct answer.
If you’re looking for a way to nudge Spirit into providing a “yes” or “no,” this deck offers a thoughtful alternative.
One way this deck can be effectively used is to explore past events. Questions like, “Did this happen?” or “Did this person do this?” align well with its traditional purpose, making it a valuable tool in such contexts.
As with many products, especially those sourced from China, minor defects can be expected.
Take note of the final card shown here, along with the orphaned “Y.”
Copyeditors truly deserve more appreciation.
