The Circle cards are nine cards in the deck of the Hidden Hero’s Journey, one of the Three Hero Journeys of the I AWAKE universe. They concern how you approach an exploration, rather than which part of your life you are exploring.
Is it time to begin? Draw a line? Wait? Reconsider? Bring something to a close?
A meaningful question doesn’t always need an immediate deep dive.
You may have noticed something important and still need time before approaching it. A pause can protect attention. A boundary can make participation possible.
The Circle cards give those conditions images and questions. In the companion book, they work alongside the six domains and the symbolic Beings. The Circle isn’t another domain to graduate into.
The Circle also appears as a guided imaginal encounter throughout the I AWAKE books. Its use isn’t limited to the deck or the Hidden Hero’s Journey.
The Circle article explains that wider place. Being cards introduces the figures that can accompany the exploration, while threshold looks at the moment of approaching something new.
