Oh my goodness — I wish I had found this sooner (but that’s a 3 line for ya, lol). After reading all the standard human design books, taking several courses, and listening to podcasts (basically everything HD I could get my hands on) for a year, I gave up. I was inundated with info and yet I felt like I just wasn’t “getting it.”

I stepped away from actively learning about it for a few months. Then when I heard about this new approach from a friend, my interest in HD was re-sparked, and I thought “Well, maybe… maybe THIS will be the one.”

And spoiler: It was.

I ordered the oracle deck, the book, the tapestry… and everything started clicking in for me. I love how the author pulls together all the pieces and organizes them so there’s a lot of info about each gate condensed into just a few pages. I had been considering creating a spreadsheet to keep track of and easily reference things like the circuitry and gate strategy and the associated astrology sign, but I didn’t have to! Because the author did it for me — and much more beautifully.

And it’s not just the contents of the book that I love but how it’s written: simply and unpretentiously. I went from slogging through the traditional sources that felt like biology text books to wanting to stay up late to read just one more chapter (and one more… and one more…) with this book. It’s fun, funny, and reads like I’m hearing about it from a friend.

I also love how actionable it is — it’s not just a dump of information that can be easy to get lost in like the traditional books. The author gives real life suggestions for how to activate the gate energy, questions to reflect on, and amazing additional resources that you can access by scanning a QR code right on the page! I’m telling you, the information this book contains is worth much more than the cover price.

And since I’m a tactile person, playing with the oracle cards helps me retain the meaning of the gates in a way that just reading it hadn’t. It helps me connect with and ground in the information in a way that sticks. I don’t know why it works so well, but it does. It’s like magic!

Anyway, as someone who has loved but struggled with learning human design, I can tell you you’ll save a ton of time and trial and erroring if you start here.
