These are still so compelling to me even after going through them countless times. The art is enchanting. I hang 2 or 3 on my pegboard at a time and switch them out often. If you’re on the fence- get them. They would also be a great gift.

A deck everyone should have. I like to sort through seasonally, and especially during life’s transition periods. It’s 78 cards but it feels like 200, our passions and cares are truly vast. I find mine evolve often, and I appreciate the reflective prompts and definitions.

Read and used (by now just once) after listening to her podcast episode on the topic. Great exercise for those looking for introspection and self-discovery in a gentle, kind way.
