I'm taking you along with me as I create a new card deck for myself. I will create it with an American Indian theme as I did once before. What is Lenormand? - check out my previous article.

Card 27 Talking Stick

The original card is the Letter. Over the history of most of the North American tribes, most of them developed ways of communicating which were very different than writing a letter. The last time I made a deck like this one, I used Signals (like smoke signals), but I decided this time to go a lot more intimate. Since, compared to the stereotypical American, the Natives tend to communicate on a quieter, more intimate level. To me, a talking stick is representative of the highly-respectful nature of this quieter method of communication.

When we think of the LETTER, we tend to think of:

• communication, information and messages
• oral or written communications
• personal sharing of information
• not putting off what should be said today

As I think about the Talking Stick, I find this to be highly appropriate on all the main points of the original card.

For my new card, For my new card, I hit Google Images search, looking for something with CC0 (Creative Commons 0) licensing meaning that I don't always have to remember to credit someone - essential if I were to start doing paid readings with these cards.

I also had to find out which traditional playing card is associated with this card. So, here is my result:

I only had a couple of choices when it came to finding a talking stick. I had to delete the background to this one as it wasn't very interesting. I rotated it as well to better fit a card.

I finally decided on a campfire for the background to represent one of the times the tribes would use the talking stick - around a fire, sharing stories, concerns and other things with the rest of the tribe. It would be quite intimate - amongst close family and friends only - maybe some honored guests.

Anyway, this is how I finished my card today - I quite like it. What do you think?
