INNER CHILD CARDS — 1992 First Edition | A Practitioner’s Journey into Fairy-Tale Healing & Soul Memory | Metta-Blessed™

Bear & Company • Hardback Guidebook • Pristine Glossy Cards

Step tenderly into the realm where fairy tales, childhood memory, and deep soul wisdom meet. This is the original 1992 Bear & Company first edition of Inner Child Cards — the most sought-after version, complete with the large, glossy, dual-sided cards and the hardback guidebook that practitioners prefer for its depth, clarity, and durability.

As I handled this set, photographing each piece, there was a clear sense of familiarity in the artwork — as though the imagery speaks a language we once knew in childhood. These cards don’t just depict fairy tales… they awaken the symbolic world beneath them: the inner landscapes where innocence, courage, wounds, and transformation live side by side.

THE UNIQUE POWER OF THIS DECK

Unlike traditional tarot, the Inner Child Cards reinterpret each archetype through beloved fairy tales, allowing emotional and intuitive truths to surface gently and safely.
This makes the deck an extraordinary tool for:
• Inner-child healing
• Shadow integration
• Ancestral and childhood memory work
• Therapeutic guidance
• Trauma-informed sessions
• Dreamwork and symbolic exploration
• Practitioner readings that work softly, not sharply

The imagery feels both comforting and awakening — it disarms the mind so the heart can speak.

SYMBOLISM AND MEANING (A Few Examples)

Every card transforms classical tarot energy into story-medicine:
• The Fool → Sleeping Beauty
Awakening from the spell of old patterns; the moment of new life returning.
• The Magician → The Wizard of Oz
Realising you already hold the tools for change.
• The Star → The Little Mermaid
Hope, longing, and the luminous pull of destiny.
• Six of Hearts → Alice in Wonderland
Rebellion, curiosity, and inner expansion through imagination.
• The Guardian of Wands → Little Red Riding Hood
The courage to walk your own path despite fears and shadows.

Each story is a doorway.
Each card is a memory resurfacing.
Each spread becomes its own personal fairytale.
