What people say
"Guys, really: hurray! The lovely cards are down to earth, short and powerfully written, capturing the core. With lots of room for your own interpretations and additions. That feels so nice, it inspires and motivates to make and enhance my own connections. Excellent job Carin, I will enjoy this immensely!" - Rebecca van den Broek
"Your cards are little pearls, each and every one of them. So beautiful!"- Bénédicte
"What a beautiful deck of cards you've made! The first card was immediately spot on! Very well cared for, the cards themselves, the box, the booklet. All perfect! It is so lovely to find the 'ordinary' local trees in the deck. I am thrilled with it and will use the deck in my coaching and in the labyrinth, of course 🙏" - BW
"I received a joyful box and in it a happy book cover just as joyful! After that exuberant encounter the booklet and the cards exude the benign serenity that trees can give you. Very beautiful in simplicity, with short and strong texts, and the cards so round and soft. That this deck may find its way to many tree lovers and may it send the 'regular' inspirational card deck lovers into to woods. Literally! 😁" - Kitty
"What a beautiful and powerful tree guide. A magnificent inspiration for everyone who is involved already and a gain for every curious nature lover. With a sense of the healing power of nature, the power of trees." - Paulien

Interview / podcast for Dryade (in Dutch)
In December 2024 I was interviewed by Renske Wesseling for the Dryade magazine, OBOD Netherlands. In the interview I talk about the origin of my bond with trees, about the four layers of looking at a tree, about trees the way my teacher Dusty Miller talks about them, where the idea for this tree oracle originates, my goal or wish for people working with this deck, we talked about the Your Tree card and the blank cards, why one would wish to use an inspirational card, about the photographs and the design, and Renske's last question was what was the most difficult and the most fun of making the deck. In the closing words I give tell you my wish what the cards will bring you.

Ode to the teachers and helpers
Thank you to my two legged and one legged teachers. The wisdom of this deck is first and foremost rooted in the tradition and stories of tree shaman Dusty Miller 13th. There are several other (inter)national tree shamen who greatly inspired me.
Thank you to all contributors. The cards themselves have been planted with help from a successful crowdfunding campaign at voordekunst. You can read the stories and enjoy the videos via voordekunst.nl (in Dutch).
