There are many ways to use this charming deck. Here are some suggestions.

You may want to sit down, breathe for a few moments, and create a healing atmosphere by lighting a candle or smudging the air with sage or palo santo. Then, shuffle the cards while thinking about your question. Pick one or several cards to answer your question.

Ideas for questions you could ask:

• What energy/medicine do I need right now (today, this week, etc.)?
• What do I need to do to up-level my life?
• What do I need to know about my relationship with... (a lover, partner, boss, friend, child, family member, co-worker, etc.)?
• What will help me with this job/project?
• What do I need to harness in order to be in this (job, relationship, place) successfully?
• What is the energy around...?
• Should I...?
• Should I leave?
• Should I stay?
• What’s next? Now what?
• What Doobie can help me embody a stronger, more flexible, more joyous, more abundant me?

You can read the cards exactly as they are, or you may receive a message intuitively. Pay attention to the thoughts, images, and feelings that arise when you read the cards.

• If a card is upside down, consider the opposite of what the card says.
• If you pick one that lists ailments and concerns, consider that you or someone you know may need the remedy. Research creative and best ways to use said Doobie’s medicine.
• If your card only lists benefits, you may want to ask if there is a hidden blockage or issue in that area of your life.

For example, if you ask about a person or situation, the card may point to a positive quality that can support you, or it may represent the opposite energy of its message.

If you feel inspired, take a dive into further imagery and archetypes connected to the Doobie shown on the card. For example, you may wish to explore the mythology associated with the card.

If you have a more complex question you want to ask the Doobies, you can pull several cards to examine different aspects of your question.

Past–Present–Future spread: Shuffle the cards with your question in mind, and then pull three cards. The first card shows where you’re coming from. The second card represents your current situation and any advice the Doobies might have for you. The third card reveals your best possible outcome if you listen to your inner guidance.

Try and listen and have a conversation with the Doobies. If you were a Doobie and entered the doobie universe™, what whispers would you hear in the wind? What elements would you play with? Invite the Doobies to play with you. They will in turn invite you to learn, play, and commune in the Doobie Universe™, which, trust us, is filled with endless joy and wonder.

You might ask, “What would my Doobie do?”

One of my absolute favorite ways to use the deck is to ask myself, “Which Doobie you be?” You can do this exercise when you pull the “Which Doobie You Be” card—or anytime you wish.

Begin by spreading out all your cards face up. Look at the cards and choose the one that most feels like you.

You may pick a Doobie that represents your personality and energy. There may be a Doobie that particularly feels like “you” today. You can also ask which Doobie archetype you most need to embody to manifest a certain intention in your life.

You can read for and with others and share ideas on the cards pulled. I keep the doobie universe™ deck on the kitchen counter, in my car, and in my purse so it’s always within reach when I have company or while I’m traveling.

I love asking people I meet to pick a card. They are great conversation starters. I also like to ask, “Which Doobie you be?” It’s a wonderful way to get to know someone.

For example, I had the deck out on a table at a cafe, and the waiter asked what they were. He seemed interested, and I invited him to pick a card. He picked Lavender. Turns out he had asked, “What can I do for my wife?” And guess what! She LOVES lavender. I told him he could get lavender essential oil or light the dried buds as an incense, or that perhaps she needed some relaxation. You will be amazed at how on point the Doobies are!

• Trying a new recipe inspired by a Doobie card you pulled.
• Adding a Doobie-inspired new item to your home.
• Wearing the colors of a Doobie card or choosing foods of that color.
• Using the Doobies as inspiration for coloring, drawing, and journaling.
• Inventing a game inspired by a Doobie.

Let the doobie universe™ help you tap into your inner child and your deepest intuitive wisdom.
