Psychological Symbol Cards

Discover your identity, goals and direction

This card set contains a set of archetypal psychological images, each representing a symbol of the deeper mind. Evocatively drawn – from an owl to a compass, a waterfall to a mirror – the images invite us, through a series of prompts, to select those that most instinctively speak to our identities and goals. We are then guided to reflect on what our choices might mean and what they reveal about the workings of our psyches. Suitable for a wide range of situations, the cards promise to illuminate our inner lives – offering rich material for reflection as well as a great deal of fun.

Instructions

There is no single correct way to use them; what follows are suggestions, and you may discover your own approaches. The cards can be used individually or in a group, where differences and similarities between people can become illuminating.

Spread the cards out on a large surface and select five according to these prompts:

1. Who I truly am, deep down
2. Who I am at work
3. Who I am in love
4. What I want from the future
5. What I want to say goodbye to
   

Don’t think too much when choosing. Once you have made your selections, place the cards before you and reflect imaginatively and generously on your choices and what they might reveal. You are best placed to interpret what these images mean. Allow yourself to free associate.

• Why were you drawn to these particular images?
• What might they suggest about your deeper self?
• What has come more clearly into focus?
  

Return to these cards whenever you want to gain perspective on a dilemma or are trying to refine your understanding of a part of yourself.
