These specific values were selected with the intention of aiding you in the deep remembering of who you are and what is most important to you. This is a tool for everyone, from teachers, to HR, to therapists, to coaches.
They are a tool for self-discovery and self-healing
For building community, whether that’s in the conference room, family dinner table, or a night out with friends
For exploration and bridging conflicts or differences through awareness, discussions, and shared connectedness
For self-discovery of your next steps, whether that’s in a relationship; at work; on the field with your teammates; or a discussion with your boss or family.
There is no wrong way to approach this deck.
The abstract art acts as its own depth-tool. When you work with the value, be sure to tune in on an intuitive-gut-level; and reflect on what you see in the symbol, the colors, and the textures. How does that activate the value for you? Does it remind you a memory or a dream? How does that relate to your initial goal or intention with the cards.
What value is seeking you?
The original art for Animae: The Source is created by hand and printed on Elizabeth’s etching press. During her studies at The New School, she gravitated towards the printmaking technique of collagraphy. Each original symbol is cut from mat board, layered with textures, inked, wiped and printed with Charbonnel oil-based etching ink and BFK Rives printmaking paper.
