If this is you
You've heard life is a game. You haven't played by the rules.
Shinn's rules are short: speak the word, don't resist, send it forth, follow the lead. They are easy to quote and hard to run.
This deck is her method, handed to you as something you say aloud every morning.
Before
You nod at the idea that words have power, and say whatever comes out.
After
You choose the words, say them aloud, and watch for your leads.

Terms and FAQ
What does Beta Run mean?
The Beta Run is the first printing. It is called a beta so the system can be tested in real hands and perfected before a full first run. It costs the same as every run after it.
Is this the whole book?
No. The deck carries the keystone, the author's own method and the passages that put it to work, in the author's words. It does not reprint the book. Read the book alongside it.
Are the words the author's?
Yes. Every word on a card is the author's, checked against the book. Our words are titles, eyebrows and use lines. They name. They never interpret.
