$\"\"$ I\u2019m fortunate that many publishers and publicists offer to send me free books or products to consider for review. I frequently get to request certain items, but other times, I get things sent to me without requesting them. And let me tell you, left to my own devices, I NEVER would have requested \u201cThe Archeo.\u201d Thankfully, Jake at Llewellyn didn\u2019t ask me, he knew I needed to see this.<\/p>\n

Even when \u201cThe Archeo: Understanding & Developing Archetypes\u201d by Nick Bantock arrived, I had no intention of reviewing it. However, I was like, I should at least open and thumb through the deck. As soon as I started shuffling through the cards, I stopped dead in my tracks. These cards seriously resonated with me and considering that \u201cThe Archeo\u201d is about universal archetypes, I thought that meant this deck was pretty damn special.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Nearly every deck is marketed as a tool of self-discovery, but \u201cThe Archeo\u201d is a tool ONLY for self-discovery. The 40-card deck and its accompanying 204 page, full-color companion guide help you create your personal mythology. Bantock expands on Jung and Campbell\u2019s idea of archetypes, crafting the 40 presented in \u201cThe Archeo\u201d that include alchemist, demon, midwife, wolf, greenman, falcon, and more. There are even two blank cards provided in case you discover a new archetype you want to work with. Each card has artwork created by Bantock, and you know how I\u2019m a sucker for deck authors being able to illustrate their own deck. (I not so secretly wish I could create visual art\u2026..or write effectively for that matter!)<\/p>\n

The ways you can use \u201cThe Archeo\u201d are limited only by your imagination, but Bantock provides some ideas for layouts and spreads. Also, he wrote a story focusing on each card, to help you understand them better.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to take a journey within, \u201cThe Archeo\u201d is for you!<\/p>\n
