If you&#8217;re part of my Patreon, you&#8217;ve seen my reasoning behind some of the items I&#8217;ve chosen to review. When I was offered a copy of the deck Cultivating Grace: Access Inner Peace, Clarity, and Joy on Your Spiritual Pathby Miranda Macpherson I accepted, and I could not tell you why. It didn&#8217;t look awful, but it also didn&#8217;t seem like something I would enjoy, and yet, I wanted to review it. I&#8217;m glad I did.<\/p>\n<p>Cultivating Graceis a remarkably well-thought-out deck for self-reflection and discovery. The 64-card deck is divided into 4 categories of cards: Grounding in Grace, Receiving Blessings of Grace, Transforming Power of Grace, and Embodying Grace. Macpherson considers grace a nondenominational direct experience of the Divine, a felt experience of the Sacred, that is the practical key to gaining traction on your spiritual path and finding true fulfillment. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Cultivating-Grace-art-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18604\" \/>Each card features beautiful art by Anna Kuptsova and ideas to reflect on and practice. Macpherson&#8217;s appreciation of classic spiritual thought is obvious when reading the accompanying guidebook, and unlike some decks I highly recommend reading the guidebook as it offers much more than just card descriptions. Also, I just need to mention, you get the beautiful 64-card deck, which comes in a lovely fabric bag and a full-color 176-page guidebook, all in a compact, sturdy box for the suggested retail price of $18.99. That&#8217;s just shockingly reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>Cultivating Graceby Miranda Macpherson is scheduled to come out in September, but you can preorder it now.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/insighteditions.com\/products\/cultivating-grace-card-deck-self-care-gifts\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Cultivating-Grace-text-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18607\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/24031\/9781647226602\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get your own copy here.<\/a> (This is an affiliate link to my Bookshop, which supports independent bookstores throughout the United States.
