Thanks, @vincentnijman for the kind words!
I debated putting photos of some the other side of the cards, but with that many decks it would have been way too many photos in one post, and choosing only a few would have been torture. Besides, then I would have to add what each of those cards represents to me ~ which any of those could make a post on their own! I will work on that, and if you have a particular deck you would like to see I would be happy to start with it.
As for the blanket I laid everything out on, it was the best thrift store find ever. I got it at the Goodwill in Asheville, NC several years ago for a grand total of $6. It is a hand made, double patchwork (meaning both sides are fully patchwork!), corduroy blanket that is big enough for a full sized bed. It is perfect for so many things, and it is generally our "floor" outside when we are sitting around a fire, or drumming in a circle, or lounging in a meadow, or at a live concert, or having a picnic ~ anywhere! It seems to be indestructible and made just for our busy outdoor adventures.
Thanks for the extensive reply. I appreciate it :<)
I get why you didn't share the cards themselves but would be very interested in the animal deck / Medicine cards as I feel I'm connecting more and more with nature ( and thus with animals ) since my move to the Portuguese countryside, in 2018.
Also nice to hear the story behind that beautiful blanket and its many purposes.
A hug from Portugal,
Vincent
@vincentnijman thank you for the input, I will make a post for those cards this coming week. I have been on a roll lately connecting with some of my earliest times on my path, and those cards have been with me more than any other.
p.s. I LOVE HUGS!!!!!!
Looking forward to that post of yours :<)
I love hugs too and, being single, they are extra important for me. I am lucky to live in a place where people didn't stop hugging during 'The Thing'. It's one of the best natural medicines.
Um abraço
