Psycards

Psycards

"Psycards are a system of symbolic pictures in card form which can assist an individual to know him or herself better." This first sentence from the Psycard instruction booklet shows how this deck serves much the same purpose as the tarot. The psycards present certain human experiences and psychological qualities in a clear, direct manner. The 40 cards are divided into groups: the Inquirer card (you), four directions, seven fundamentals, seven archetypes, seven symbols, seven characters, and seven happenings. Some of the cards echo those in the tarot, such as the Fool, Death and Sun. Others are unique to this deck. The instruction booklet offers card meanings, spreads and guidelines, but tarot techniques could also be adapted for use with these cards. The pictures are by Maggie Keen, a British illustrator.
 

Psycards are a system of symbolic pictures to help you find directions in your personal life. They can be used by yourself or to help other people as a counsellor or reader or interpreter.
Their aim is to help you (or others if you are reading or counselling them) gain insight into yourself, your feelings and your own psychology.
They can help you make complex personal decisions, understand your motivations and become alert to the exciting possibilities in your life and to those of the people closest to you.
