Purchase options and add-ons

Archetypes are ancient, universal patterns of behavior that are embedded in what Carl Jung called the "collective unconscious." Caroline Myss has created a unique set of 80 Archetype Cards, each individually designed to provide the basic Light and Shadow Attributes of a different Archetype. The deck also contains six blank cards on which you can create your own Archetypes.

The deck comes with an instruction booklet explaining how to use the cards to help determine which Archetypes are most active in your psyche, and how they can lead you to achieve greater insights into your life. The deck is suitable to be used by itself, in conjunction with Caroline’s book Sacred Contracts, or with any of her workshops and seminars.

Caroline M. Myss ' Biography

Caroline is dedicated to creating educational programs in the field of human consciousness, spiritually and mysticism, health, energy medicine, and advancing the science of medical intuition. She established CMED, her own educational institute, in 2003, which offers two programs running three courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism. Additionally, Caroline maintains a rigorous workshop and lecture schedule internationally and continues a consultation practice with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health practitioners, as a medical intuitive.

In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness, releasing the book, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18 languages. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million copies.

In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome as 'woundology', characterized by a person who prefers to rely upon the power of illness for manipulation of his or her world as opposed to attained an independent, empowered state of health. As with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this area became the subject of her fourth book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T HEAL and HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New York Times bestseller.

Caroline released her fifth book, SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. As with her previous books, this one is also in 18 languages and reports sales of well over 1.6 million.

Due to the interest generated by her work in Sacred Contracts, in 2003, Caroline opened CMED (Caroline Myss Education), her own educational institute. CMED offers two programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition, and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen nations, as well as across the United States.

In 2004, Caroline released her sixth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller. She is now working on her seventh book: ENTERING THE CASTLE. She has also just published her first book through her company, CMED, entitled, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, an extraordinary piece of literature that was channeled sixty years ago by a nearly-blind woman named Edith Ellis. Myss considers this project to be a vital part of her commitment to support an archive of information on her personal passion, which is the mystical history of America.

Through the years of her career, Caroline has taught in thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major audio recording company in the holistic field. She has recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different titles. Her entire library of recordings now number of 180.

In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program for one year with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year.

BOARD MEMBERSHIPS

From 1999-2004, Caroline served on the Board of the State of the World Forum with Jim Garrison.

She is presently on the Board of Wisdom University, San Francisco, where she also Chairs the Department of Energy Medicine and the Healing Arts.

In 1995, Myss, along with C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., founded the American Board of Scientific Medical Intuition.

CMED Institute

In 2003, Myss founded her own educational institute, CMED (Caroline Myss EDucation), providing seminars in Sacred Contracts and Mysticism and Intuition for students from all over the world. More information on her institute is available on her web site: www.myss.com.

    I have gifted these three times now and own my own deck and have nothing but praise for them. They're not your typical oracle cards although they can be used this way as well as to augment a traditional tarot or rune reading (at least this is how I use them). You won't find any information on the different spreads you can use to read these cards -you'll have to use your intuition/imagination and that's exactly what I love about them.

    There's no shortage to how you can use these and it's easy to look up different kinds of tarot/oracle card spreads online. The booklet that accompanies these cards is loaded with information on each of the archetypes and the section at the beginning delves into the history of archetypes and also how you can use the cards to draw up your "Sacred Contract" by casting your archetype wheel. This deck is also a great accompaniment to Myss' book "Sacred Contracts" or as a stand alone deck.

    I am an archetype practitioner and use this with my clients to help them cast their archetype wheels. I also use it to accompany tarot and rune readings to help elucidate the meaning of the reading. In short, I love this deck but note that it's not your typical "oracle card deck." It's so much more than that :)

    My interest in archetypes and how they are presented in tarot decks is what drew me to this particular deck. I wanted to work with something that dealt with pure archetypal energies and so was quit drawn to give Myss's cards a try.
    At first I was a little put off by the abundance of red coloring and also the cover picture is not the best the deck has to offer. I read a review here though and the reviewer mentioned the very items I was concerned with but also had many wonderful things to say about this deck.
    The cards are sturdy and durable, the colors vibrant and alive. The artwork and symbolism reflects beautifully the energy of each of the cards titles. The Light (positive and helpful) and Shadow (negative, problematic, challenging) notations on the cards give a rich spectrum of meaning to the archetypical energy they describe.
    This deck is a wonderful tool for self-awareness and development. Spending some time and reflection on each card, is a great way to let those parts of you that wish to be acknowledged and heard come to the forefront. If there are particular aspects of yourself you?d like to develop, or make stronger, working with this deck can aide in that endeavor.
    A simple reading you might like in using these cards follows:
    The Problem or Challenge Solver: When you have a particular small ?now? problem that you?d like insight into, here is a very simple three-card spread.
    Draw three cards at random and lay them out in a row left to right.
    Card 1 represents the problem or the energy that is fueling the problem.
    Card 2 represents the way through the problem and the energy that
    can guide and support you.
    Card 3 represents the probable outcome or where this can possibly go if the energies are fully supported and encouraged
    There are several situations when this reading is appropriate.
    Some of them are:
    1.When you feel like ?something? is amiss in a situation, but you can?t put your finger on it.
    2.You think you know what the problem is but it is something else entirely.
    3.It can confirm for you what the problem area is when you already had some idea to begin with.

    Such a lovely and useful deck of archetypes. Love the artwork and love that they address both the light and shadow aspects of each. However, I noticed today when I pulled the Shape-Shifter card that the guidebook (on pages 92-93), have different images corresponding to the archetypes they are referencing. I think this must be an error in publishing that was overlooked. But don’t want buyers to be disappointed, like I was - and it’s the only reason I didn’t give the deck 5 stars.

    This deck is still going to be so useful to me and be a terrific adjunctive learning tool to Nina Danhorn’s classes focused on archetypes. Can’t wait to share these with her!

    I have been practicing on my friends. They say they are spot on and they received such valuable insights.
    I read her book and immediately bought her cards.
    I have bought almost everyone of her books. I'm looking forward to owning the complete collection. I'm just a few books away. This was my Christmas present to myself.

    Ignore the reviews on Audible. I just happened to scroll down Audible's reviews. I was concerned about all the negative reviews. I love her Caroline's books. I scrolled down pages of reviews, past the first negative pages. I found nothing but outstanding reviews. This really must be impacting the sales of her books. Audible owes her an apology.
    Caroline Myss is a spiritual powerhouse.
    I like her Youtube work also!
