Metaphoric Associative Cards (MAC) decks are a type of psychological tool used primarily in therapeutic, coaching, and self-reflection contexts. These decks consist of a set of cards, often with images, words, or symbols that evoke various emotional, cognitive, and creative responses.
The term "metaphoric associative" refers to the way the cards prompt the user to associate the images with their own thoughts, emotions, or experiences in a metaphorical way. The underlying principle is that the subconscious mind can express itself more freely through metaphors, which bypass the logical thinking barriers.
Images or Words: MAC decks may include cards with pictures (abstract or realistic) or single words or phrases. Some decks combine both.
Open Interpretation: The cards are meant to be interpreted freely and personally, allowing for subjective meaning-making rather than fixed interpretations.
Symbolism and Metaphor: Each card usually contains a visual or verbal stimulus that acts as a metaphor for the user's inner state, thoughts, or life experiences.
No Rules: There are no fixed rules about how to interpret a card. The user's personal association and emotional response are the most important aspect.
These decks are widely used by therapists, counselors, coaches, and personal development professionals. Additionally, individuals seeking self-reflection, creative thinking, or emotional exploration also use them. They are particularly popular among those working in fields like art therapy, psychology, and life coaching.
You use these decks to tap into subconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a non-directive way. The cards act as a bridge between the conscious mind and deeper insights, allowing for personal reflection, emotional release, or creative problem-solving. They are helpful for unlocking new perspectives, enhancing self-awareness, and facilitating open dialogue in therapy and coaching sessions.
Therapists use MAC decks to help clients explore feelings, memories, and experiences in a non-directive way. Clients might be asked to pick cards that reflect how they feel, how they see their current life situation, or their desires for the future.
The cards can help bypass defenses or blockages by allowing clients to express thoughts through the images or metaphors they draw from the cards.
Coaches may use the cards to facilitate goal setting, problem-solving, or to gain insights into a client’s mindset.
Clients can choose a card that represents their challenge or success and discuss how it relates to their goals.
MAC decks work by activating the creative, emotional, and intuitive parts of the mind. Because they don’t require direct or logical responses, they allow people to explore their inner world in a symbolic and non-threatening way.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF FAIRY TALES WITH SYMBOLIC WISDOM AND INSIGHT.
SINGLE DECK
Fairy tale metaphoric cards are a tool that uses images and symbols from fairy tales to provide insights into a person's life, emotions, and future. Fairy tale metaphoric cards can be used for a variety of purposes, including self-reflection, decision-making, problem-solving, and spiritual growth. They offer a unique and imaginative way to explore the deeper aspects of our psyche and tap into the collective wisdom of traditional folklore and mythology. They can be an excellent tool for working with both children and adults, providing a creative and engaging activity that can be presented in a game format.
Each of us has an inner child - we were all once children, spontaneous, creative, joyful, curious, and well aware of our desires. However, contact with our inner child can be lost, causing us to miss out on many strong characteristics and joyful opportunities. Fairy tale metaphoric cards can help restore our connection with our inner child and provide a deeper understanding of our desires and motivations. But of course, the benefits of fairy tale metaphoric cards go beyond restoring contact with our inner child. There are lots of articles about the benefits of fairy tale therapy, and the main specific of those cards is that fairytale is a natural, comprehensible and ecological format that does not scare us.
Fairy Tales Deck includes characters, locations, different items (like letter, sword, money chest etc.), animals and other mythical creatures.

DOCUMENTARY AS A DECK
SINGLE DECK
Illuminated by the documentary Awake In The Darkness, 103 beautifully, uniquely illustrated quotations cards, surfacing the deepest insights from Aubrey Marcus's fractal flowering pineal gland, kindling infinite light into the rich luxurious darkness.
The phrase "awake in darkness" can have different interpretations depending on the context.
Literally, "awake in darkness" could refer to being conscious and alert during the nighttime hours when it is typically dark outside.
Metaphorically, "awake in darkness" could refer to being mentally or emotionally aware during a difficult or challenging time. It could mean having a clear understanding of a situation that is shrouded in uncertainty or confusion.
From a spiritual or philosophical perspective, "awake in darkness" could refer to being conscious or mindful of one's inner experience even when surrounded by darkness or negativity. It could mean having a deep sense of inner peace or enlightenment despite external circumstances.

Pick-a-Postcard: Metaphors for Life Reflection Deck
METAPHORIC REFLECTION CARDS TO INSPIRE MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT, CONVERSATION, GROUP FACILITATION, COACHING, TEACHING AND GOAL SETTING
SINGLE DECK
Transcend the traditional sharing circle and reflection conversation with the power of metaphoric imagery. People often find it easier to express themselves through a picture or symbol rather than through verbal means. Because participants can talk about the object or image rather than about themselves directly, they express thoughts that would otherwise be left unsaid. The thoughts, ideas and connections inspired by the imagery lead to broader and deeper reflection sessions because metaphors and symbols stimulate multiple areas of the brain and involve all senses. This approach can be especially helpful for more introverted or reluctant group members.
This tool is useful for both individual and collaborative reflection and is used in restorative circles and appreciations, group norms conversations, and goal setting.
• Facilitate strong beginnings and optimistic endings to group work or coaching sessions.
• Inspire meaningful engagement, reflection and dialogue that goes beyond traditional verbal techniques.
• Spark creative writing, exploration of personal or group strengths or goals.

50 WAYS TO BE PRESENT IN NATURE, INSPIRED BY THE PRACTICE OF FOREST THERAPY
SINGLE DECK
Nature is always offering us invitations to participate with her attentively in the present moment. By being present with nature, including our own nature, we are repairing and nourishing the relationships we have with ourselves and others, the more-than-human world, and our sense of time.
This card deck is a collection of 50 prompts to remind you of the simple but significant ways you can return to nature through your senses. Inspired by forest therapy, which are gentle walks in nature, these cards can help you slow down and engage with the world in an embodied and sensory way. Originating from the Japanese practice of 'forest bathing' (Shinrin Yoku), forest therapy recognizes that experiences in nature are essential to the well-being of the human mind, body, and soul.

FACES DRAWN FROM THE SUBTLE REALMS
SINGLE DECK
Enter a deeper relationship with yourself and the world through the universal language of the human face. The images in this deck were selected from 20 years of work created in the presence of ancient trees, mountains, standing stones, temples, cathedrals, and human wisdom carriers from many lineages. Each face radiates a unique presence. Think of them as allies, nature spirits, beloveds, or visitors from subtle realms. Gaze deeply and explore your relationship with these beings.
Rather than offer written meanings, the guidebook supports you to cultivate your own experience of the cards. It offers ways to select them, lay them out, and enliven them through creative processes. It also includes digital access to a guided meditation with original music. Use it to hold sacred space while you work with the cards. Portals of Presence can be combined with SoulCards 1&2, each deck bringing a new dimension to the other.
“A gift to everyone who will look into infinity through these eyes.” Vicki Robin
“The deck has sacred assignments, for they are instruments of attunement that bridge us to sacred relationships and co-creation with the most intimate forces in life.” Orion Foxwood
“Wonderful windows into the worlds beyond…where wisdom can be sought and exchanged.” Caitlin Matthews
MORE INFORMATION FROM THE GUIDEBOOK
Approach this deck with an open mind and heart. It is not an oracle in the usual sense. It is an invitation to develop relationship with the great community of life. May these faces, drawn from the heart of the world, open portals to the subtle worlds, reminding us of the wholeness within which we reside. Gaze at these beings and allow your experience to unfold.
The Vision for this Deck
The 72 faces in Portals of Presence were selected from among thousands of Touch Drawings I created over twenty years. Each face was drawn in a particular setting: beneath an ancient tree, on a mountaintop, in a sacred temple, before a standing stone, or in the presence of a human soul. As I sat with each of them, I used the process of Touch Drawing https://touchdrawing.com to translate my subtle impressions into the form of a human face. Each face radiates a presence that is both unique and universal.
The face is the most familiar visual pattern in the human psyche. From the moment we are born, we center our world on the faces of the people close to us. As we gaze into their eyes, they gaze back. In mirroring each other, we communicate on a level beyond words. There is mutuality in this meeting.
Can we use this primal visual language to open portals of communion with our own deeper psyche and realms of consciousness beyond our familiar human world? A face in a printed photograph is only ink on paper. Yet we can attune to the presence of the person represented through focusing on the image. The faces on these cards can be used as focal points through which to attune to a more expansive range of consciousness. Think of them as personifications of elemental life forms, ancient wisdom lineages, spiritual allies, or visitors from unfamiliar realms.
There is a mystery that fuels this deck; a sense that unseen beings want to engage with it as a point of contact with our human-centric world. In this time of accelerating challenge on the planet, the possibility of expanding our range of connection can offer hope that we do not have to face our challenges alone. Rather, we are in this predicament because we have lost our sense of communion with life. Use this deck to expand your awareness to your deeper self, subtle realms beyond the familiar human world, and the sentience in all life.
A Larger Context
I have been involved with the teachings of David Spangler for many years. He offers a spiritual perspective that is deeply affirming of the experience of being human. His articulation of the sacredness of life, which he calls Incarnational Spirituality, encompasses an ecological understanding of the subtle realms. This worldview has provided a larger context in which I hold my life and work. Here are some of his thoughts. I hope it will enhance your understanding of this deck:
What is important in working with the subtle dimensions and with subtle allies is a deepening of your sense of being part of a living universe. Although contact and collaboration with the subtle worlds serve an important purpose — and increasingly so as we move into the future —what is equally important is that you re-envision and re-experience who you are.
You are a citizen, a participant, in a community of life, unfolding and thriving in a cosmos that is itself alive. One of the vital lessons arising from taking the time and attention to seek communion with the subtle life around you, is that you can discover yourself deepening into this community. And not only deepening, but being welcomed home. You are discovering the family you are part of, and with it, discovering the power you possess arising from this relationship.
One of the unfortunate consequences of life in our incarnate realms is that conditions of separation and alienation have developed. This is certainly true within the human experience, but it extends into the experiences of other forms of life as well. Barriers come into being that were never intended, but which are the result when different members of the same family forget how to talk to each other. To ignore the life around you or assume, because you cannot see it, that it does not exist is to confine yourselves to an echo chamber in which you only talk with others of your kind. Your world shrinks and you shrink with it.
The world you live in is expansive, and you are expansive as part of it. Achieving communication with a specific subtle being is less important than achieving communion with the community of all life, physical and non-physical, that embraces and holds you. This is a deepening and an opening of the heart to the life in the world around you. Just a simple acknowledgement, with love, of this life is enough to start the key turning that unlocks the door to the wider universe.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING?
"The Intuition Heart Cards are a delightful way to explore the many aspects of the heart....and our deepest desire...to love and be loved. The cards give messages and guidance that provide inner reflection and intuitive interpretation. These cards are a great tool to help individuals and groups shed obstacles that block our highest love flow." - Nancy Clemens, author of The Dolphin Divination Cards"
" It is quite wonderful to experience the opening in people as they pick just the right card for their personal situation. In my work with couples the cards have acted as vehicles for authentic sharing and heart opening revelations. I have watched the cards create spaces in clients that are clearly linked to an inner knowing. On more than one occasion, a client has asked to pull cards at the beginning of a session. I recommend these cards to individuals, couples, and counselors in search of a non-threatening and inspiring tool." - Rev. Cynthia James, Mile Hi Church, Colorado, USA
"With the Intuition Heart Cards™ you can easily learn how to tune out the incessant chatter of your mind and align with the still flow of your intuitive voice. It makes moving from FUNKY doubt and worry to FABULOUS flow and crystal clear knowing, an absolute breeze… and a must for big dreamers!" -Eli Davidson, Bestselling Author of 'Funky to Fabulous'
"I have used the Intuition Heart Cards™ with adults recovering from substance abuse, women dealing with eating disorders, youth at risk and in corporate building seminars. Using the Intuition Heart Cards™ in groups deepened the conversation and opened people up in ways that were profound. I saw a huge difference in how people were able to express themselves both with and without the cards. I wouldn’t know what to do without them." -Tally Willmont, Founder of Equine Promise Program, CA
