Does anyone have this deck?
I looked at it in the Barnes and Noble bookstore. I really like the idea and the artwork but the cards are HUGE! I couldn't look through the cards but someone had opened the shrinkwrap of the set so I could pull out the smaller (?) shrinkwrapped cards.
I mean they're bigger than the large rider waite or thoth decks. For a set of "child" like cards they're awfully big.
Has anyone used them? And how? What do you think?

I bought the Inner Child deck on recommendation of clairvoyant who told me that it would help to heal my Heart center. She said sometimes we need to get back to our child self as a type of "reality check". I think it may be true of a lot of us that as we go through life, we forget the fun and innocence of our childhood and we become hard and forget to "be nice" and "share with our friends" among other lessons we learn as children.
I've only used them a few times and only for myself. They might be ok to read for someone else, but the other person's needs would have to be specific to the intention of the deck, I think.
As for the size of the cards... I think it helps to have the cards big to put yourself in the child like state of mind. Everything is big to us as a child.
I had thought of trading them a few times, but I think they are a really nice part of my collection. Enjoy them and have fun!
