The Trance Tarot Card Deck is a unique set of 78 cards composed with NLP & Neo-Ericksonian trance inductions. Each card has a specific text based on the deep divinatory patterns of the card, esoteric correspondences and a wide selection of language patterns.
The very format and flow of the text on each card also relates and deepens the connection to the card, so the Fool text is boundless and non-punctuated, for example, but the 3 of Cups is composed more in the style of a celebratory and shared roundel.
The cards are designed to be read in any existing tarot card spread or as a line, square, triangle or star layout. The text is composed with linking words which will provide bridges between the cards no matter their arrangement or order.
Each card can also be repeated in a loop, naturally revealing (and teaching) embedded language patterns as the text is repeatedly read with different stresses or meaning, such as “here now” being “hear now” or “free to one” being “3, 2, 1”.
They can also be read using the custom spreads designed specifically for this deck and trance induction.
The deck is planned to be made available as trance text on white card or (possibly) a blended deck where the text is overlayed on the original Waite-Smith Tarot images to incorporate an anchoring process and utilise existing familiarity.
Trances will be specific to the single card or combination of cards, providing trillions of potential trance-spaces for the reader.
Trance inductions can be utilised for contemplation, affirmations, ritual work and dream-work. They can be deliberately selected to create specific trance-platforms which can be anchored in preparation for (or recovery from) significant life events, i.e., preparing for a job interview or relationship healing work.
They can also be used for creative visualisation, pathworking and inner guide meditation journeys. In fact, the cards came from a dream – see the backstory here.
An audio file is also provided for each card, allowing the reader to loop the inductions in any arrangement they wish, or the reader is encouraged to create their own personal recordings, using the files for inspiration. This will also assist the reader learn hypnotic language, as the cards are embedded with countless teaching examples of NLP & Ericksonian Language patterns.
The deck will also come with a selection of downloadable, simple and powerful, induction/outduction methods into which the cards can be plugged, allowing each reader to discover the most powerful method combination for their own use or for each client.
