Simple Truths – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Simple Truths deck?
Simple Truths is a 200-card deck based on systemic constellations. Each card contains a clear, grounded sentence designed to reveal hidden dynamics in relationships, family systems, creativity, and personal history. The deck can be used for personal reflection or as a professional therapeutic tool.
How does the deck work?
The cards are divided into two sets: Tangled (red) and Untangled (green).
-
Tangled cards uncover underlying patterns, loyalties, and systemic entanglements.
-
Untangled cards offer new perspectives that help restore balance, clarity, and flow.
The sentences may appear simple, but they often create a profound shift in understanding.
Who is Simple Truths for?
Anyone curious about their relationships, emotional patterns, or family story can use the deck. It’s especially popular with therapists, coaches, systemic practitioners, constellators, and readers who want a tool that goes deeper than oracle or affirmation cards.
Do I need experience in systemic constellations?
No. Beginners can use the deck intuitively, drawing cards for reflection, journalling, or gaining clarity during difficult moments. Practitioners can integrate it into sessions, workshops, groups, and retreats.
How do I use the cards?
There is no single correct way. You might:
• Draw one card at the start of the day
• Ask a question and pull a Tangled card, followed by an Untangled card
• Use multiple cards to explore a relationship or situation
• Incorporate them into therapeutic or coaching sessions
• Combine them with meditation, journalling, or ritual work
What makes this deck different from oracle or affirmation cards?
Simple Truths is not predictive or symbolic. It’s based on the therapeutic principles of systemic constellations, lineage work, and family systems theory. Each sentence points directly to real dynamics rather than metaphor, which is why the deck feels so effective and grounded.
Can the deck be used alongside other modalities?
Yes. Many people use Simple Truths with tarot, Reiki, somatic work, psychotherapy, coaching, and energy healing. The sentences often deepen whatever process is already happening.
Is the deck suitable for professional use?
Absolutely. Practitioners often tell us it helps clients name things they haven’t been able to articulate. We offer a practitioner rate for therapists, constellators, coaches, and facilitators who wish to buy multiple decks.
Can I use Simple Truths for self-reflection?
Yes. The deck is powerful for personal insight, especially when exploring themes such as belonging, boundaries, inner conflict, creativity, relationships, and ancestral patterns.
Do the cards replace therapy?
No. The deck is a supportive tool. While many people experience emotional clarity, we recommend seeking a trained therapist or practitioner for deeper work.
Where are the cards made?
The deck is designed in Oxfordshire and printed using high-quality card stock. Every deck is hand-checked and packaged with care.

Yes. We ship worldwide. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
