The Forces

The force—physical, intellectual, or spiritual—is shown in the card background. Forces tie different cards together into larger concepts or themes.

The Physical force cards have backgrounds with earth elements. Physical forces are what you feel inside a storm or from a mountain-top, during birth or death, or in a handshake or hug.

The Intellectual force cards have backgrounds showing things built with human brainpower, social organization, and handcraft. Backgrounds will show technology, structures, or writing. Inclusion of physical and spiritual forces may appear because this force bridges the other two.

The Spiritual force cards feature sky and space as their backgrounds. ‘Spiritual’ does not mean organized religion. It means a permeability to the universal impulses of love, ethical behavior, compassion, and your purpose in life.
