Archetype Cards Cards – September 15, 2003

The media could not be loaded. Love this Archetype Card Deck! It’s beautiful! Impressive! Such a wonderful addition to my collection. Good quality. Lovely images. Well thought out. Thought provoking. I recommend 100%!

Beautiful cards with explanations. Love the unique images!

I have gifted these three times now and own my own deck and have nothing but praise for them. They're not your typical oracle cards although they can be used this way as well as to augment a traditional tarot or rune reading (at least this is how I use them). You won't find any information on the different spreads you can use to read these cards -you'll have to use your intuition/imagination and that's exactly what I love about them.There's no shortage to how you can use these and it's easy to look up different kinds of tarot/oracle card spreads online. The booklet that accompanies these cards is loaded with information on each of the archetypes and the section at the beginning delves into the history of archetypes and also how you can use the cards to draw up your "Sacred Contract" by casting your archetype wheel. This deck is also a great accompaniment to Myss' book "Sacred Contracts" or as a stand alone deck.I am an archetype practitioner and use this with my clients to help them cast their archetype wheels. I also use it to accompany tarot and rune readings to help elucidate the meaning of the reading. In short, I love this deck but note that it's not your typical "oracle card deck." It's so much more than that :)

My interest in archetypes and how they are presented in tarot decks is what drew me to this particular deck. I wanted to work with something that dealt with pure archetypal energies and so was quit drawn to give Myss's cards a try.At first I was a little put off by the abundance of red coloring and also the cover picture is not the best the deck has to offer. I read a review here though and the reviewer mentioned the very items I was concerned with but also had many wonderful things to say about this deck.The cards are sturdy and durable, the colors vibrant and alive. The artwork and symbolism reflects beautifully the energy of each of the cards titles. The Light (positive and helpful) and Shadow (negative, problematic, challenging) notations on the cards give a rich spectrum of meaning to the archetypical energy they describe.This deck is a wonderful tool for self-awareness and development. Spending some time and reflection on each card, is a great way to let those parts of you that wish to be acknowledged and heard come to the forefront. If there are particular aspects of yourself you?d like to develop, or make stronger, working with this deck can aide in that endeavor.A simple reading you might like in using these cards follows:The Problem or Challenge Solver: When you have a particular small ?now? problem that you?d like insight into, here is a very simple three-card spread.Draw three cards at random and lay them out in a row left to right.Card 1 represents the problem or the energy that is fueling the problem.Card 2 represents the way through the problem and the energy thatcan guide and support you.Card 3 represents the probable outcome or where this can possibly go if the energies are fully supported and encouragedThere are several situations when this reading is appropriate.Some of them are:1.When you feel like ?something? is amiss in a situation, but you can?t put your finger on it.2.You think you know what the problem is but it is something else entirely.3.It can confirm for you what the problem area is when you already had some idea to begin with.

Such a lovely and useful deck of archetypes. Love the artwork and love that they address both the light and shadow aspects of each. However, I noticed today when I pulled the Shape-Shifter card that the guidebook (on pages 92-93), have different images corresponding to the archetypes they are referencing. I think this must be an error in publishing that was overlooked. But don’t want buyers to be disappointed, like I was - and it’s the only reason I didn’t give the deck 5 stars.This deck is still going to be so useful to me and be a terrific adjunctive learning tool to Nina Danhorn’s classes focused on archetypes. Can’t wait to share these with her!

I have been practicing on my friends. They say they are spot on and they received such valuable insights.I read her book and immediately bought her cards.I have bought almost everyone of her books. I'm looking forward to owning the complete collection. I'm just a few books away. This was my Christmas present to myself.Ignore the reviews on Audible. I just happened to scroll down Audible's reviews. I was concerned about all the negative reviews. I love her Caroline's books. I scrolled down pages of reviews, past the first negative pages. I found nothing but outstanding reviews. This really must be impacting the sales of her books. Audible owes her an apology.Caroline Myss is a spiritual powerhouse.I like her Youtube work also!

The shadow and light attributes really make a difference. I can tell of experiences, creativity and knowledge went into the making of this deck. Very clear and able to process the information at your own pace! Really happy with this purchase. Love them!

Shuffle the cards and pick one or two to explore qualities we may not admit to ourselves, for better or worse.
