The cards are organized numerologically so that each number corresponds to a type of action, from Ones as Acts of Initiation to Tens as Acts of Generation. Every individual card offers questions for personal reflection and social consideration. Each Major Arcana card is illustrated with an example from a social movement--from the Indigenous Water Protectors to #MeToo--that illuminates how we can put the power of these timeless archetypes into action today. Every Minor Arcana card is linked to a practical and actionable term to know or skill to practice. \u003ci\u003e78 Acts of Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e helps us explore: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- What our core values are, and how we can put them into action\u003cbr\u003e- How we can be socially engaged, whatever our life circumstance--whether it's through what we teach our children or through collective action and protest\u003cbr\u003e- How to sustain ourselves over time and through challenge \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Smith explains, \"Truth alone will not set us free.
