Using The Cards With Others
- Icebreaker: Cosmic Animal Cards offer a creative way to break the ice at gatherings, events, or parties. Invite each person to select a card that resonates with them or reflects something meaningful they’d like to share. This activity gently encourages everyone to open up, break down barriers, and connect over shared insights in a relaxed, memorable way.
- Silent Animal Messengers: When feeling shy, blocked, or unsure how to approach someone, use a card as a silent messenger to share your feelings or needs. Discreetly pass it to the person (or leave it somewhere they’ll find) as a subtle, thoughtful way to begin a conversation. This gesture invites empathy without the need for words.
- Communication & Conflict Resolution Aid: Draw cards to represent each person’s feelings or needs, using the Cosmic Animal symbolism to explore perspectives in a neutral way. This can help give you language to use when you don’t know what to say or where to start.
- Bedtime Stories for Kids: Each night, read and discuss one Cosmic Animal with your child. I do this with my own child, and it’s a wonderful way to learn about Animals, explore their feelings, and foster meaningful conversations before bed.
- Family Bonding: As a family, each person can draw a card that reflects something they’re working on or need support with. Share what the card represents and discuss ways the family can help nurture each person’s needs. This can build empathy, foster open communication, and create a more supportive home environment.
- Relationship Growth: Method revealed in the Guidebook.

Meet The Creator
Hi, I’m Tanya Casteel, the artist & author of the Cosmic Animal Cards. This deck is the result of 5 years of devotion. I’ve poured my heart into painting these Animals and writing their symbolism, inspired by my dreams during a time of profound grief. The wisdom of these Animals helped me navigate loss, gain clarity, and find healing. May these Cosmic Animals bring you love, peace, and clarity. Thank you, Tanya
