HELD · for the people who hold others

We pay practitioners to review every deck.

Every HELD edition goes through paid, independent practitioner review: licensed and credentialed practitioners read all 52 cards and sign their findings — name, credential, date, permanently attached to the exact version they reviewed. The grief and pet-loss editions are under review now, with reviewer seats open; no review is complete yet, and we say so. The SOUL edition opens for review next, with spiritual-care professionals across traditions.

The terms, plainly: a physical deck ships to you and stays with you. You read all 52 cards, flag anything that could land wrong — harm, tone, overreach, anything tradition-exclusive — and sign your findings. About two hours. The honorarium is $200, and it pays for your time, not your approval. A hard "no" is paid the same and helps us more.

Reviewers who want them get practitioner packs at practitioner pricing afterward — never contingent on what the review said. Any testimonial we ever publish from a paid reviewer is disclosed as such.
