SoulCollage, the book, explains the SoulCollage process:
1)The easy steps for making and consulting the cards
2)How to work with the language of symbols, dreams, and archetypes
3)Suggested suits for your deck (personality parts, community, archetypes, energies, dreams)
4)How to set the mood so that even shy people can say what the card is telling them
5)Ways to encourage inner wisdom to bubble up and answer your deepest questions
We are pleased to bring Seena Frost’s deeply satisfying, creative process to others in this wonderful book. We expect the process will find many unexpected uses. SoulCollage has already been used with children, elders, in therapy, in deep spiritual exploration groups, in trainings, and in women’s groups. One writer made a card for each of her characters in the plot of her novel and sets the cards up for inspiration by her computer as she works.
There are more than 200 examples in the book of this process, showing extraordinary cards made by ordinary people. The book contains eight pages of these cards in color. More can be seen on the book’s website. S. Adrian, in a review of SoulCollage in "Fearless Reviews," says: “Numerous examples from custom-made decks show you what these cards can look like. I was so captivated by the images in the book that I wished I could buy a deck of them!” When you start making your own deck you will feel like that about your own cards, only more so. Many cards have a universal appeal because they reach beyond our individual stories and into the deep well where all of us share the same water of Spirit.
This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do — All you need is a good pair of scissors, pre-cut matboard cards (also available in packs of a dozen cards), glue, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. It is wonderful to have other people with whom to share the process. The cards are fun to take to a friend’s house, to work with in therapy or support groups, or to keep on your coffee table. There are many examples in the book about how to use the cards in groups.
From the Author
SoulCollage™ is a system for creating a deck of cards which is a visual journal, your own living journal to which you can add over years. Your deck of SoulCollage cards will help you identify and image your diverse inner parts, the beautiful ones and shadowy ones, the easy-to-like ones, and the harder-to-like ones. You will also reflect on the external guides and allies in your life, visible and invisible, human and archetypal, and make cards for them.
A SoulCollage deck is the Story of You. It is a tangible way to know yourself in your diversity and depth, and also to show yourself to others. Showing your deck of SoulCollage cards to another person is a holy experience. In like-spirited groups, you can share cards and work with them in many sacred ways. You can consult them intuitively and discover wisdom within yourself which will amaze you.
Besides all this, creating them is just plain fun! You will love your deck — a multi-card Mirror of your Self and your Soul — whether it consists of three cards or a hundred. The card-making process evolved over time with the aid of many women in my therapy groups. As they made their powerful, personal cards, shared them with each other and consulted them, we discovered the transforming possibilities of these images. In the book, SoulCollage, I pass on to you what we discovered.
