“We’re all just walking each other home.”

Sufi poet Hafiz takes centre stage with the theme of this charming deck with a Persian influence. Cards are presented in a magnetic closure box, the cards edged with gold leaf. Information is provided on Hafiz, and how this deck was created, how to use the deck. Each card has an image, number and title. The guidebook provides additional subtitle and 60 words of good advice for each card. 

 

Some very beautiful images here, and strange, enigmatic poem and oracle. 

Sample card! Practice Tenderness. 32. Subtitle poem: tenderness is what I am when my heart governs, and I realise how much so many in this world have suffered. Oracle Message: It is in your best interest to be very tender with yourself, and with all life. Vulnerability doesn’t keep us safe, but it does keep us open, and an open heart is one of the strongest most powerful tools in the world. Cultivate a practice of self compassion and tenderness towards your life in order to become more like The Friend who created you.
