Calyxa's Elemental Hexagons deck is a unique divination system based loosely on the Tarot and on the Periodic Table of the Elements. The deck contains 60 cards, each of which corresponds to an element from the periodic table. This covers close to 2/3rds of the known stable elements. Twenty-two of the cards in the Elemental Hexagons deck also have specific correspondences with the Tarot major arcana. While there is a specific reading layout developed for the deck based on the celtic cross Tarot layout, the cards may be used with any layout desired.

The decks come in a sturdy hexagonal box. A limited number of hexagonal oak boxes lined with green velvet will also be available. All decks include an insert sheet which details the reading layout, information about each element card, and some additional information about the deck. Please visit http://calyxa.best.vwh.net/hexagons/ for more information about the deck, photographs of the deck and the boxes, and more.

Readings by Calyxa are approximately 15 minutes long. Included with the reading is a faux parchment sheet of paper diagramming the layout of your cards with notes specific to your session.
