In each gesture, a beginning. In each mark, a return to source.
In a world saturated with speed, noise, and digital overflow, paleophenomenology offers beauty and simplicity rooted in ancient ways. These creations are more than just objects: they are tools for reflection, integration, and inner inquiry, inviting you to reconnect with deep time, symbolic presence, and embodied meaning.
Every card, every mark, every thread in the weave is made with care and intention. This is slow craft. This is soul work. So, thank you for choosing to explore this deck!
These 18 cards are an invitation, not to interpret, but to encounter. Each symbol, originally hand-drawn and unique, is a mark. A moment. A trace. This is paleophenomenology: a way of meeting the world that listens to the ancient in the present, that honours the first gesture; the impulse to make, to notice, to connect.
Each card in this set has been handcrafted with intention, care, and a deep attunement to the ancient gestures of making. These are not mass-produced objects > they are acts, embodied through touch, through time, and through the quiet rhythm of mark-making. Every line, every symbol, every slight variation is part of a living continuum that connects you to the earliest impulses of human consciousness: the need to leave a mark, to say I was here, I saw, I felt.
These come in two editions.
The Paleoset - £60
This is the core edition of the Paleophenomenology card set.
Printed on high-quality card stock, wrapped with intention and accompanied by a hand-folded inner note, the Paleoset is for those drawn to the call of the mark, the gesture, the thought made visible.These cards are tactile invitations: to reflect, to write, to trace the movement between self and world.
They echo the ancient human desire to leave a mark: to understand time, to shape space, and to reach across from now to forever.Each set includes the full deck of cards, without the extra hand-drawn Sorcerer.
The Chroma Sorcerer Set - £100
This is a rare, limited edition of only nine handmade sets, each featuring a unique hand-drawn signed Sorcerer card, created using STAEDTLER pigment markers in a single chosen hue.
Each Sorcerer is a one-of-a-kind gesture: drawn, signed, and infused with colour as invocation: a chromatic mark of presence, mystery, and source.These are for those who value the rarity of touch, the alchemy of intention, and the beauty of holding something truly singular.
Packaged with care, each set includes the full Paleophenomenological deck plus the additional signed Chroma Sorcerer card.
