From Grief to Goddess Healing Cards - support for grief work with feminine archetypes
Not every oracle deck has healing as its goal. This one does. From Grief to Goddess Healing Cards is made for people dealing with loss who are looking for a gentle way to move forward.
Heather Ensworth, psychologist and grief counselor, designed the deck from her work with clients and her own experiences with loss. The 44 cards use feminine archetypes and goddesses from different cultures as symbols of hope and transformation.
What you see on the cards
The imagery is soft. Calm colours, no sharp contrasts. Each card shows a feminine figure or goddess symbolism that represents a specific aspect of the healing process.
The cards are printed on sturdy cardstock with a matte finish. Size is 88 x 125 mm, slightly smaller than standard tarot cards. The deck comes in a solid storage box with a warm feel.
The guidebook has 108 pages and is in English. For each card there is a description that explains the symbolism and shows how that card can work in your healing process. The tone is empathetic and accessible.
How this deck works
This is not a predictive oracle deck. It does not give answers about the future. It offers anchor points during a difficult period instead.
Many people draw one card daily and let it play a role throughout the day. The card then works as a reminder of a specific strength or quality needed at that moment.
The deck is also used in therapeutic sessions. It helps to name complex feelings without having to find words for them immediately. The imagery does that work.
Draw a card before sleep and place it beside your bed. The image often continues to work in your dreams.
