The Journey of the Deck
The 58 cards in the deck are organized into sets that lead you on the unique and sacred journey of the Power of the Yin.
This journey is not linear, but cyclical, spiralic and even chaotic.
And while they are grouped in sets, there is no true order to the cards. There is, however, the inherent natural rhythm between yang and yin, expansion and contraction, light and dark, expressive and intrinsic.
As you follow the path weaving between polarities, each return takes you deeper, asks for continual refinement and presence, and ultimately brings you home to your Essence—and the Power of Your Yin.

Your Most Precious Resources
In your knapsack, you carry these three tools. They are the keys to developing your proficiency in the ways and practices of the yin. Protect, support and expand these resources with tremendous care and love as you would the great natural resources of water, air and the wildlife of the planet.

The Guardians of Your Yin Power
The yin is a powerful energy. And there is an incredible vulnerability and at times even a fragility to what is trying to emerge from the yin. It needs protection so it can unfurl and ultimately flourish.

Your Integrity
Your Voice

Harmonizing Your Yin Power
The yin does not exist alone. It can only feel itself in relation to its polarity, the yang. And the state of this relationship determines the health of both your yin and and your yang energies. This set offers the “remedy” of the opposite medicine, to keep both your yin and your yang healthy, thriving and fully resourced.

The Realms of the Yin
The realms of the yin are unquantifiable, subtle and ineffable. They are mysterious, murky, often uncomfortable. They don’t follow rules of logic and the mind. They are also places of growth, transition, transformation and creativity. As we learn to trust them we can navigate their depths from a grounded place and with an expansive perspective. Then they become sources of power rather than destabilization.
