"If Tarot And Lenormand could have a child, it would be the Chronicles of Destiny Fortune Cards...
Overall, I am highly impressed by the production and presentation. The theme of this work is carried out consistently. The premise of which the cards are built on is creative and executed perfectly. The system that was created for this set of cards shows thoughtfulness and detailed care. These cards present themselves as a fully developed cartomantic system."
Angelo Nasios, Tarot author and reviewer
"The first duo I pulled slapped me around the face with its accuracy...
When you look at a set like The Chronicles of Destiny, you might firstly think it's beauty sits within the ornate packaging and mystical artwork. In a way, it does. However, I think the real beauty of this set is in the planning and writing of Josie and Emily Ellershaw. It is their words which bring real life magic and meaning to this exquisite and individual oracle... In terms of packaging, Schiffer have excelled themself this time."
Steven Bright, Tarot author and reviewer.
"The guidebook is a portal into not only the art of storytelling but also, Cartomancy at its finest...
A love of books shines brightly in the creation of The Chronicles of Destiny. This deck and guidebook set is like having a never-ending storybook at your fingertips. The cards have gilt edges that add to the richness of your experience. The box that the cards and book come in also appears to be a book which is a nice touch as it can be added to your treasured books on your shelves.
Each card is numbered as a chapter with the sequence that corresponds with a continuing story in the guidebook to help you remember the card meanings. Each chapter (card) in the book has a color image of the card and a short excerpt from the story. There is also a detailed card definition under the image and this is called The Moral of the Story.
I love the attention to detail in this deck as well as the flexibility it offers..."
Mary Nale, Attune Magazine

"I was in high expectation of receiving this deck, just because of the name! I mean, “Chronicles of Destiny” – who would not be excited! I was not disappointed! This 60 card deck tells a story in and of itself, and helps the reader to discover their personal story...
You do not have to be an experienced reader to use this deck, but experienced readers will gain from it. I recommend it for all ages, and all backgrounds. My personal thought is that this is going to come in handy with my writing!"
Bonnie Cehovet, Tarot author and reviewer

"Magical and accurate. The artwork is stunning. Viewing the images, I felt as though I was looking into the portal of time, seeing the past, present, future, at once...
This is what makes The Chronicles of Destiny unique. The cards in a reading flow from one image to another creating a distinct outcome, solving a common problem in divination decks when card meanings are too vague and have conflicting messages that confuse the reader."
Lisa Finander. Author, editor, and writing coach.
