Incredibly Thought Out

I just received my deck, it's absolutely wonderful, and it resonates with me. Careful detail that was throughly thought out in making this beautiful deck. The activities and affirmations are a refreshing touch to guide you through your readings. If you love fantasy, this deck really makes you feel like you're on an adventure and I found it intuitive even without the guide, which was also nice to have some examples on how to use the cards. Cards are great quality, the art is lovely and the box is perfect. I'm super happy with this purchase.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review, Heather! We’re so glad the deck resonates with you and that it feels intuitive and immersive right from the start. It sounds like you’ve truly stepped into the adventure, and we’re so happy to hear the details, artwork, and activities are adding to your experience. Wishing you many more meaningful discoveries ahead!

Quite possibly the best investment I have ever made. I say this in all honesty. I have used this product for about a week now, and I can’t believe how much growth and clarity i have received from a few simple daily exercises. Worth every penny!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience, Spencer! Your words mean the world to us. It’s amazing to hear that Hero’s Ascent has brought you more clarity and growth. You’re showing up for yourself in a powerful way, and we’re honored that Hero’s Ascent gets to walk beside you on that journey.

Totally in love with this deck

As a therapist, I use these cards almost every day in session. They consistently spark insights that talk therapy alone sometimes can’t reach — and they make difficult topics feel more approachable and even playful.

Thank you so much, Janet! It means the world to hear that Hero’s Ascent is making an impact in your sessions. We designed the deck to bridge that exact gap - to spark insight, invite curiosity, and make meaningful work feel more accessible and fun. We’re honored to be part of the powerful work you do.

It’s a great deck and I love it

It’s a great deck and I love it. The only reason I gave it a four is because I wish the cards were a little larger so the font could be easier to read.

Thank you so much for the kind words, John, we’re so glad you’re loving the deck! We really appreciate the honest feedback about the font size too. It’s something we’re working to improve as we plan future printings and potential companion materials. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!

D&D supplement

Added the deck to enhance my D&D sessions! We're playing a Strixhaven-like setting, with a blend of real-life baking. (Literal flavor text.) Card pulls are a fun way to add suspense to a role-play heavy campaign.

That’s such a creative and awesome way to use the deck! We love hearing that Hero’s Ascent is adding a touch of magic and meaning to your sessions. Thanks for sharing, may your rolls (and your recipes) always be in your favor!
