What are these cards

The (some version) cards I share, some have been in existence for eons, some people wouldn’t make a decision without their use, and some are affirmations and reminders to/for myself. I use these pulled cards as a starting point, a push to what I may need to remember for/about myself. I have nothing to profess about what is in reality an universal randomness of a shuffled counted out pick. I can say there are days the randomness is too on the nose.
