The Happy Squirrel
Much has been said about The Wild Unknown deck. I bought them because for once, I found a deck I can visually and emotionally connect with instantly. Yet, I have not reached for it since it arrived in my possession. Except for once, in exploring a life changing decision. It isn't a deck I can reach for casually. It's quiet dignity felt too intense for that. Recently I had gone through a rather sorrowful episode. I reached for this deck and found myself staring at the nine of wands. I don't usually find the associated book helpful. But this time I ended up reading it for some reason. Passages which I found usually too specific suddenly went straight the core of my emotions. I hadn't been able to cry and in that moment I was able to. But I felt strong and hopeful at the same time. I can no longer remember the words associated with the image. But the image stays with me. And it helped me find the courage to carry on.
