SIMPLE TRUTHS®
A Clearer Conversation With Reality
We all carry hidden stories.
Old beliefs. Inherited loyalties. Unspoken family rules. Relationship patterns we did not consciously choose, yet somehow live by.
Some of these stories support us. Others quietly shape conflict, repetition, resentment and confusion.
Simple Truths® was created to bring those hidden dynamics into the light.
Developed by the founders of Hotel Philosophy, this original card deck offers a distinctive form of modern cartomancy rooted not in fantasy, but in insight, relationships and real psychological movement.
These cards do not flatter. They illuminate.
They are designed for those ready to see more clearly.

Tangled. Untangled. Transformed.
Each Tangled card names a dynamic you may be experiencing but have not yet found words for.
A pattern in love.
A tension in family.
A habit in work.
A hidden loyalty.
A story that keeps repeating.
Each Untangled card offers a fresh perspective, a wiser stance, or a path forward.
A Tool for Real Inner Work
Within Hotel Philosophy, the Simple Truths® deck is used in private sessions, relationship work, tea ceremonies and reflective experiences as a way of seeing yourself and others differently.
It can also be used alone, at home, as a powerful practice of self-inquiry.
Principles Behind the Deck
Relationships go better when:
-
we find a place for the other person, even when it is difficult
-
we take responsibility for our own part
-
we give more weight to facts than to personal stories
-
we grow through equality, not superiority
-
we honour the past but move toward the future
-
we see the real person, not our projection of them
-
we do not cling too tightly to innocence
These principles sit beneath the deck like roots beneath a tree.
Trusted With the Truth
Simple Truths® trusts its users.
It assumes you are capable of honesty, growth and depth. It respects your intelligence. It invites courage.
Some cards comfort.
Some challenge.
Some may change the direction of your life.
