Strawberries beyond my Window - practice manual for working with the OH series
The OH cards are not tarot and not oracle. They are image cards without fixed meanings, designed to open conversations. Waltraud Kirschke has worked with these cards for years and shows in this book how that works in practice.
The book is called Strawberries beyond my Window and is published by OH Publishing. It describes how different OH decks are used in therapy, education and coaching. Kirschke works with examples from different countries and cultures, showing how broad the applications are.
What you find in this book
No fixed spreads or lists of meanings. Instead, many practice stories that show how a card can open a question or shift a conversation. Kirschke describes how images trigger associations and how you can work with that as a facilitator.
The book discusses several decks from the OH series. For each deck she explains the background, the intention and in which situations it works well. The images from the series make tangible what she is talking about.
Who this works for
This book is written for people who want to work with images. Therapists, coaches and teachers form a large part of the readership, but you do not need training to follow it. The text is clear and the examples are concrete.
Kirschke assumes you will use the book as a reference work. You pick it up when you get stuck or need a new angle. The structure makes that possible: each chapter stands fairly well on its own.
Open the book at any practice story and see if the situation resembles what you encounter in your work or private life. Often enough that works like a second reading.
