Psycards - CARDS

By Brett Almond View Profile
These were the first cards that ever really freaked me out with their accuracy. Many years ago, when I first started looking into personal development and spiritual matters, I was seeing a counsellor who was also a Tarot teacher. After discussing some key elements in my life she asked me to pick two cards. The deck she used (although I didn't know this at the time) was the Psycards. I picked out the cards The Father and Work. They were exactly what we had just been talking about and were so apt that I was shocked for weeks. I had not used Tarot or other divination systems at that time. The Psycards offer something different to other divination cards and Tarot cards. The options are so real and down to earth in many ways. They give answers that some may find much easier to understand than some other divination decks. There is an A4 folded sheet that comes with the deck which offers four different spreads to choose from and also a one sentence description for each card.

For example the The Voyage card says 'The Voyage can mean psychological travels not just another holiday. The journey changes us into another person and means we can say goodbye to some parts of our lives.' The descriptions are fairly short but as with any divination deck we need to get in touch with our feelings and start to interpret them further by ourselves.

The full list of cards are:

The Inquirer, The Yes card, The No card, The Now card, The Never card, The Body card, The Home, Work, The Skills, Money, Friendship, Fortune, The Father, The Mother, Birth, Death, The Libido, Destruction, Peace, The Sun, The Moon, The Stars, The Tree, The Scales, The Tower, The Wheel,......more

I purchased a set of psy cards from the holistic shop several months ago and have been using them alongside the celtic tarot cards since, whilst I familiarise myself with them. They are fantastic, and I echo the previous words of how uncannily accurate they are. They have quite an awesome knack of homing in succinctly to issues that need to be addressed by the inquirer. I feel that they are more down to earth and psychological in nature - and to me that is sometimes the way forward, as not everyone wants a more spiritual reading. They are a useful tool for spirituality as the roots of this start in the addressing of our own psychology. I find that they actually draw a reading tightly together, providing a simple conclusion, that is easily relatable to all.

For anyone choosing to use divination as a means of development I would say that the psycards are an ideal choice if you feel drawn to them. If you've ever felt daunted with familiarising yourself with the 78 cards in the tarot then the Psycards could be a more achievable alternative for you, as there are only 40 cards in the pack. For those who already use tarot, the Psy cards are all the more easy to relate to, yet add a unique, grounding feeling to a reading. My only disappointment in purchasing these cards is that the colours of the actual cards are slightly misrepresented as they are slightly lighter than indicated by the rich colour of the Beauty Card, illustrated on the front of the pack. But do not let that put you off!!!

I just wanted to echo the previous comments on Psycards; totally accurate, very grounding, down-to-earth and, particularly for a beginner, easy to read and get a feel for. As Tarot holds no appeal to me, I was sceptical when recommended to buy these cards - but as soon as they were in my hands, Reiki started flowing in a way that had not happened with an 'inanimate' object - proof, to me at least, that there is something truly special about these cards; an indefinable buzz about them.
