SoulCollage vs Archetype Decks

The SoulCollage App is for anyone who has made at least one SoulCollage® card. The app becomes more valuable to the user when more cards are added to their deck. With this app, you can:  •Store your SoulCollage® cards and carry them with you on your iPhone or iPad wherever you go. •Present them as a slideshow to people you may be talking to about SoulCollage® and for your own enjoyment. •Make notes on any card at any time using the keyboard and dictation functions on your device. •Draw a random card from your deck for a quick one-card Reading, then review prior notes and add new ones as desired. •Search for a particular card by name, date, card suit, or a combination of these. •Perform a traditional 4-Card Reading as described below. •Easily sync your cards, notes, and readings between multiple devices (e.g. from iPhone to iPad or vice versa). In the 4-Card Reading, enter a meaningful question, then tap and the app will choose four of your cards at random and present them face down. You will tap on the first card to turn it over. Let the card speak to your question, using the SoulCollage® process where we allow the image to speak in its own voice to give you guidance through your own intuition and imagination. You can make notes on each card as you work through the Reading. After looking at all four cards, you continue to make notes on the Reading as a whole. When complete, you can store the reading and its question, date, and notes for later search and access. “SoulCollage” is a registered trademark licensed to Hanford Mead Publishers, Inc.

Ask the Archetype is a depth psychology field guide. 78 figures from Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, Carol Pearson, and Clarissa Pinkola Estés, one a day, with citations. You draw one card a day. Just one. The deck rests until tomorrow. Each card holds a few things to sit with. A short oracle reading. A scholarly description of the figure, with the thinkers who wrote about it named. A few plain questions in everyday language. A few questions written the way the thinkers wrote them, with citations. A short reading list, if you want to follow a thread further. A note on cultural humility when a figure touches a living tradition. That is the whole app. You pull a card. You read what other people have wondered about it. You leave when you are ready. There are no streaks. No notifications. No badges. No accounts. No data collection. No ads. No subscriptions. The deck does not chase you. If you want to leave a tip, there is a small gratitude jar in Settings. Four tiers, named honestly. A candle for the desk. An afternoon in the stacks. And two for people who really want to send a thank you. 100% of net proceeds go to Nutcracker syndrome research, building toward a dedicated research grant with NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Nutcracker syndrome is a rare vascular condition most people have never heard of, which is part of why I chose it. Quarterly receipts at sillydroose.com/donations/askthearchetype. All 78 cards are available without paying anything. I built this because I love reading about archetypes, and I wanted somewhere quiet to spend a minute with one each morning. If that sounds like your kind of thing, welcome. Drew
