Something I'm trying to aid in connection

I am making myself information cards from blank tarot/playing cards using the information found in the encyclopedia. I am hand writing them and plan to pull them out to honor each spirit based on connections and preferences on their associated day. I can take them anywhere with me and look at them when I can't play on the computer or phone. I like them already! I am not sure if there is a rule against this (it didn't seem like it since they are for personal use...I hope that's true!)

But I think hand writing out the associations will be a nice way to bond while I'm learning about them.

Just sharing in case someone else likes the idea to do for their family :)

Awesome idea!

Sounds like something I should do. Usually I just pull offerings out of my a-I mean butt. ^^'

The beauty is that it's pretty easy and it really made me think about the links between them. I think I may draw them a couple pictures or paint paintings too. I think that will be fun :)

Drawings on the cards will definitely make them nice!

Maybe once your finished designing them and everything you could laminate them? That would help keep them from getting damaged. :thumbup:

That is a BRILLIANT idea! I may borrow that! I have a small spiral notebook but cards seem sooo much neater and easy! CLEVER!!! :thumbup:

And it has been super convenient so far. I love it! I haven't added pictures or laminated them (which was a great suggestion I missed Zero! Sorry about that!) I keep them in my pocket sometimes and when I want to think about new creative ideas for my friends, I look at the cards to try to come up with things to do for them :) :)

What's that old cliché? "Great minds think alike"?
About a year or so ago, I posted a pic in here somewhere of the 4x6 index cards I designed and printed to do pretty much the same thing. I was putting them in a small photo album.

I've not completed the task yet, as I have also been putting all of my spirit/spell info on excel spreadsheets.
I'm happy to see others doing this. It makes it much easier to learn the associations for each spirit, as well as having a record (as your spirit family grows, it can often times be harder to remember who is in what vessel... especially if the vessels are similar).

I LOVE this idea. I'm gonna have to do this for our guys too (mine and fearlesswolf's). :thumbup:

BTW, you can get a deck of blank "playing cards" on ebay for like $8.

I love this idea! I have many ....maaannny in my family and sometimes I am embarrassed to admit I get a little :crazy: baffled. Almost all of the vessels are very easy to identify but some of my spirit stones look almost identical. I started keeping detailed notes on each vessel and I can just transfer from my notebook to cards...they will make things SO less complicated for sure!!
