Heart & Soul Cards

Heart & Soul Cards Revised Edition - 54 heart-shaped cards by Toni Carmine Salerno

Some decks ask you to learn a system. This deck asks you to be still. Heart & Soul Cards is an oracle deck of 54 heart-shaped cards, each with a short, poetic text and an intuitive painting by Toni Carmine Salerno.

The shape is not a gimmick. A heart-shaped card sits differently in your hand, feels different when you shuffle, and almost forces you to slow down. The messages are soft but not vague. They speak about self-love, inner peace, trust and letting go.

What you see on the cards

Salerno's painting style is intuitive and colourful. Lots of blue, purple, gold and pink. His figures are ethereal, often without sharp facial features, which leaves room for projection. The texts appear at the top or bottom of each card, always in just a few lines.

The cards are printed on sturdy card stock with a matte finish. They are roughly 95 by 95 mm, compact enough to carry with you. The storage box has a magnetic closure and keeps the deck secure.

How you work with them

There are no spreads included, no guidebook with meanings. That is deliberate. You draw a card when you need a gentle voice, and you read what it says. That is all.

Many people place a card on their bedside table, desk or altar and let the message resonate throughout the day. Others use the deck as a closing card for a tarot reading, as a loving final word.

Draw one card in the morning and keep it visible all day. Look at it a few times again and notice whether the message shifts as the day unfolds.

Who this deck works for

This deck is designed for people who are not looking for divination in the classical sense, but for reflection and comfort. It does not ask questions, it does not give warnings. It reminds you of what you already know, but sometimes forget.

It is also a frequently gifted deck. The heart shape makes it a sensitive choice as a present, especially for someone going through a difficult time.

Questions we often get

What is the difference between the first edition and this revised edition?
The cards and messages have remained identical. The revised edition has higher-quality printing, sturdier card stock and a storage box with magnetic closure instead of a simple cardboard box.

Can I use this deck for classic tarot spreads?
No. This is not a tarot deck and has no structure that fits traditional spreads. It works best as a single daily card or as an additional card alongside another reading.
