Inner Child Cards Workbook: Further Exercises and Mystical Teachings from the Fairy-Tale Tarot

Rating:
Summary: Questions, Affirmations, and More Ways to Use Fairy Tales 4
Review: Personal transformation. I bought this book because I wanted to really learn how to give a reading with the Inner Child Cards but I found it to be helpful in my path of personal transformation. I use these cards as additional or as clarification cards in a reading.

Chapter I: The Feminine in Fairy Tales
Both good and evil characters in fairy tales are ultimately good
The Feminine Nature of Fairy Tales
Each Character is a different aspect of our own psyche

Chapter 2: Initiation, Enchantment and Awakening
Initiation: Corresponding to Alchemical Stage of Melanois
Enchantment: Corresponding to Alchemical Stage of Leukosis
Awakening: Corresponding to Alchemical State of Xanthosis and Iosis

Chapter 3: The Archetypes of the Soul and Karmic Imprints
Chapter 4: Fairy Tale Mysticism and the Major Arcana
Chapter 5: Mirrors to Humanity
Chapter 6: Additional ways to use the Inner Child Cards (this section includes Past Life Regression, Dreamwork and even how to use the cards in playing Rummy).
Chapter 7: New Layouts (includes 4 new spreads)
Chapter 8: The 22 Major Arcana Cards (gives the traditional meaning of the cards, the inner child meaning of the cards and questions and affirmations). I found the questions to be helpful in my own journal work. I loved using the affirmations daily.
Chapter 9: The Minor Arcana (same as chapter 8, gives traditional meaning, inner child meaning and questions and affirmations for each card).

For me personally, I liked this book because it helps you learn fairy-tales (knowledge I was lacking somehow - and I enjoyed learning how fairy tales represent each lesson we learn in life, how it is a mirror of who we are, and others around us). I found the readings to be accurate in describing what I've gone through in life and how I did meet these fairy tale characters along my path. I enjoyed answering the questions it presents for each card and the affirmations are very nice. The book is well written and packed with information.
