Fable Craft (Cards to Conjure Your Personal Folktale (38 Full-Color Cards))

Build your own mythic narrative and let your creativity flourish with this magical deck. The combinations are endless!

• Tell your stand-alone message
• Fill in the missing pieces of your own personal story of how to get there
• Read between the lines to reveal the more liminal spaces
• Or build a fuller tale

Thirty-eight cards each hold a single line pulled from somewhere between memory and myth. Alone, a card is a mood. Together, they become a story only you could tell.

Draw one card for a quick spark: a mood, a message, an answer to sit with. Draw three, five, or a whole spread to build a fuller tale with a beginning, middle, and end. There’s no wrong number and no wrong order. Read the cards as a straightforward message, or read between the lines for what’s implied but not said. Let the images guide you as much as the words. Shared aloud, the cards also make a natural storytelling game for a child—there’s no reading required to feel the shape of a tale.

Ask a question before you draw: Where am I headed? What do I need to see? What happens next? Or don’t ask anything at all and let the cards ask the question for you.

To help prompt your story, every card belongs to one of six stages, designated by the color on the back:

• Threshold — the call
• Guidance — the allies
• Trial — the challenge
• Insight — the understanding
• Trust — the connection
• Change — the becoming

Fable Craft can also be used for divination with such questions as “Where am I headed in life?” or “What’s my best career choice?” Featuring a folk art–inspired style, this mini deck offers prompts with a host of possibilities and outcomes.
