This deck was channeled in 2009 by Licia Sorgi of Life's a Beach Tarot. She channeled it from her spirit guides after she wrote the book Alive Forever. This deck is intended to bring healing and closure through validating messages from spirit (mediumship). The book consists of 90 cut-out paper cards to do readings with (as well as a protection exercise and instructions). Licia has been formally trained and is a certified medium. She has taken numerous courses, including one at the esteemed Arthur Findlay College in Stanstead, England. She wanted to make getting accurate and validating messages available to everyone- thus this deck was born. She hopes it brings much relief and the realization that there is no true death. We really are Alive Forever. We recommend using a paper-cutter to cut out your deck of cards. These cards give very specifically validating information: Blue, grey or light eyes Brown or hazel eyes Dark brown, black or peppered hair You were with me when I passed My death was sudden or unexpected Long or longer hair Male child I died of something other than what you expected me to Elderly female Male pre-birth, infant or baby Adult, middle-aged or mature male Medium frame or build Medium height The deck is self-explanatory. We've added some explanation for a few of the cards but overall, they are mostly validating information that doesn't require further clarifying. We recommend using a paper-cutter to cut out our decks of cards. A few other examples from The Messages from Spirit Cards: Let go of the guilt, I am well Anniversary, birthday or holiday- a special date or occasion that either just happened or is going to happen soon. It is referring to the anniversary of their passing (or an actual anniversary such as wedding or birthday). The holiday would have special significance, like Mother's Day or Father's Day, or Christmas if that holiday was very important to them. Don't stop living your life- They want you to be happy! They are with you and see that you may be separating yourself from the flow of life (or love). This message is to go enjoy life! It's what they want for you. Especially hard time lately- This is verification that they know that you have been going through an especially hard time lately and have been with you the entire time. Pet- This is a pet (or pets) coming through Relax, you made the right decision I should have been there more for you, I'm sorry An excerpt from the book about how to use the cards: Put all of the cards face down on the table. Mix them about and when you feel drawn to one, pull it and put it aside. Repeat this process until you feel finished. As you pull cards, you might notice characteristics of more than one person. If that is the case, it is because there is more than one spirit coming through at that time. Place the card pulled with the corresponding person (energy). When you have finished pulling cards, read the messages. If/when you get a card that doesn't resonate, disregard that one, stop pulling cards, and read the ones you did pull. Please note that sometimes a spirit likes to come through as they were at their best (as opposed to their final days in their body) so you may get validation pertaining to how they looked when they were younger, for example. You will likely feel the deep, loving connection to them while you are reading the cards or you may even feel their presence (if they are sure it wouldn't frighten you and would be a good experience). Enjoy this feeling! It is real. This is the deck with a white cover and background and less serious Emily's Candy font.
