What do you think?? The principles behind the human givens approach grew out of the work of a group of psychologists and psychotherapists who were trying to bring greater clarity...

New theory…The human givens approach (related to depression and anxiety)

I use the Voyager deck. The images are all contemporary as is the language. James Wanless designed it in the 80's and it works for me. I don't have a particular spread; they seem to develop on their own, tho' I have used formal spreads as well. I often just pick a single card for insight. Check www.voyagertarot.com and look for "Card A Day"

I see tarot as a "hobby" I wonder if you have noticed how powerful that knowledge can be, even if you don't mention the "T" word.

Do you have a favorite deck?
