The book throws out heavy psyche terms like "learned helplessness" and "dissociation" as if the average person knows what those terms mean.
She writes from the background of benevolent slave holder and doesn't seem to see anything wrong with owning horses, making the writing a little confusing to me. I feel like there is a part of her that thinks it's wrong to enslave these creatures but is not willing to give up her way of life. A sense of denial and I'm not sure what came across in some of the readings I read.
I'm not saying here that owning horses is wrong. I personally have decided to never own another animal for personal reasons, based on my own experiences of feeling enslaved, but respect that it's just a personal conviction.
It's just that I can't make sense of where the author is coming from. Maybe she only thinks certain kinds of labor and treatment is slavery. I'm almost sure she used the word "enslaved" along with animal of prey many times :-0
The cards have no labels, just numbers, so it is easy to totally rewrite the meaning of the card, or at the very least, read what she has to say and then do your best to add your intuition.
For me there is one card that disturbs me with the animal all covered in whatever those restraints are called. I would have to rewrite that card, because I am sickened and it stands out to me amongst all the cards showing free looking animals.
This deck reminds me of what it must have been like for people who had a RWS deck in the 70s and just Waite's book. What came forth from those amazing people who persevered it just well...amazing. It will be interesting if people decide to put forth that same effort towards this deck. The deck has amazing potential...but...it's going to take effort, maybe group effort to see hurting people healed with this deck. Serious effort!
And the cards are fragile and cannot be bought separately, at least as far as I know. $30.00 plus tax is a lot if you need to replace these every year. And if the publisher stops publishing them...so much work to no longer be able to read with them, at any price.
