   Virtues Reflection Cards

One hundred in-depth cards, full colour both sides, and contained in a Japenese silk bag.

Each card explains its virtue in detail, also giving a quote, 'signs of success' and an affirmation. The cards are excellent for personal spiritual growth - pick a card each day ... They also provide a much valued activity in a group situation for adults and youth. A great resource for teachers, healers, therapists - and for the office!


The virtues cards have been such a success that several different sets have been developed to suit people of specific ages, or in various situations. We feature just some in this site.
