Who Am I?
A seven-card portrait for anyone who has stopped recognising themselves. It gathers the whole person: core, mind, heart, will, shadow, gift, and the face other people are shown.
Take it when you no longer recognise yourself, not for a routine character study.

How to read it
Start at the centre: the first card is the core, the part of you that does not shift with mood or circumstance. Then read the mind card above and the two beside it, heart and will; together with the core they form the working triangle by which you make decisions. The bottom row is what you usually hide: shadow on the left, gift in the middle, the face you show the world on the right. Compare shadow and face — the gap between them is the price you pay for a convenient image. If the gift argues with the core, you are living someone else's role.
Positions
Core
Who you are when nobody is watching and there is no one to adjust to.
Mind
How your thinking works: the way you explain the world and your decisions to yourself.
Heart
What you live by emotionally: what draws you and what genuinely moves you.
Will
How you act: where you find the force to begin and where you usually stop.
Shadow
The trait you deny in yourself and therefore keep meeting in other people.
Gift
What comes easily to you and therefore seems to you to be worth nothing.
Face for the world
How people see you and how much energy goes into keeping that image up.
