I hope, after you read this, that you feel as in love with this land and its citizens, both human and more than human, as I do.

“This deck teaches us to look beyond the surface, to engage with a gaze of awe, admiration, and reverence.” —Laetitia Barbier, author of Tarot and Divination Cards: A Visual Archive  Tarot Emblemata is a magical and mystical tarot deck based on the 1551 book of emblems by Claude Paradin. Renaissance emblems are intimate illustrations with accompanying mottos that allegorically and symbolically express sentiments, concepts, societal concerns, and parables. These Renaissance emblems are a didactic genre of interpretive art and, within them, author and creator Nitasia Roland has discovered that their enigmatic imagery and “mottos” correspond dynamically and align perfectly with the seventy cards of the Major and Minor Arcana of the tarot.   Among the many ancient and iconic images this deck portrays—plumes, helmets, swords, gemstone rings, coins, wands, clouds, wreaths, flowers, animals, and trees—Roland sees the evolution of tarot’s wands, swords, cups, and coins, as well as evocative glimmers of the Major Arcana archetypes. Both secular and religious, Renaissance emblems were meant to crystallize virtue or vice and cover every sphere of early modern knowledge: ethics, natural philosophy, politics, science, religion, love, war, and everyday life, very much in the same way that modern tarot imagery provides insight and clarity today.   The Tarot Emblemata deck will help readers expand on their path of embodiment, spiritual gnosis, inspired destiny, and empowerment. The accompanying guidebook presents tarot interpretations and elucidations on the symbolism of the emblems. Tarot Emblemata features a ribbon lift and gilded cards. It is an accessible deck for beginners and those familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith system, while more experienced readers will enjoy a new and refreshing perspective.

She is well known for her painting of her mentor, tarot icon Rachel Pollack, portrayed in this deck as The World card.   The “visionary woman” in this tarot is Gorman herself.

Bring structure, clarity, and purpose to every reading.   For many who read tarot—and those new to tarot—spreads can offer a lot of power, clarity, and purpose to readings. Tarot spreads, intentional arrangements for tarot cards that include a particular meaning or prompt for each card, help us to ask focused, direct questions of our cards. Rather than focusing on premade cookie-cutter layouts, Meg Jones Wall takes you to the very foundation of tarot spreads so that you can understand how and why a spread is created and how it works. This book will walk you through reading spreads as well as writing and revising original spreads, giving you everything you need to understand, develop, tweak, and test tarot spreads of your very own.  Learn to adapt and revise card spreads to deepen your exploration.   Meg encourages you to release yourself from the expectation that you need to use a spread precisely as written in order to get the full benefit of a layout in your reading. Spreads are infinitely customizable to suit your own needs, preferences, and experience level. While the cards can offer clarity in a variety of ways, tarot spreads can help us be more direct about what we want to know, explore, question, and understand. No matter our question, concern, or situation, tarot spreads empower us to be clear about what we need from our reading.   At the core of every spread are the prompts—the meanings given to each card positioned in a layout. So that you can more effectively write and design your own spread, Meg offers over 200 prompts and suggestions for simple one-card to five-card layouts for a variety of intentions from relationships to self-awareness to community to wealth, and includes special recommended spreads for lunar cycles, the zodiac, the archetypes, the sabbats, the elements, and more.

An exquisite bestiary oracle that combines vintage photographs with animal spirit paintings, imbued with a surrealism that provokes reflection on our deep kinship with all beings.   Welcome to a world where humans and animals inhabit each other’s lives in surreal, dreamlike realms of the imagination. The imagery in The Oracle of Rewilding is part of an ancient, primordial story of profound kinship that intimately connects human and animal worlds.   This oracle deck and guidebook calls upon us to bring healing in a time when the fate of humans and other earthly creatures is threatened. The oracle gently leads us to consciously cultivate a visionary relationship with the world, a kinship with all things. We must “rewild” ourselves for the preservation of all. The imagined, uncanny, even strange animal/human hybrids in this card deck represent the Trickster at a time of chaos and disruption, and speak to a unity of being and hope.  Alexandra Eldridge’s paintings employ glass-plate negatives from 1880–1920, an era when there was excitement about Darwin’s findings that emotions exist in both humans and animals. Concepts of land conservation and wildlife preservation emerged at this time, along with modernism in the arts, and the invention of photography and the X-ray. Séances, spirit photography, myriad ideas about “animal magnetism,” and occultism became popular.   The forty-four cards in this deck present universal animal archetypes and the symbolic qualities they represent. The full-color guidebook by Sherry Salman features stories, symbols, fairy tales, poems, and myths and explores each of the card’s meanings in depth, offering a variety of ways to consult the cards—and a way to engage an altered state of mind that fosters kinship with all things.

Harness the powerful wisdom of the natural world and her animals, insects, and plant life with Wise Earth Medicine Tarot, a 78-card full-color deck and 96-page full-color guidebook.   The tarot remains an enigma for many. Wise Earth Medicine Tarot endeavors to simplify the mysteries of the tarot and ground it in the natural world. Drawing upon Lalania Simone’s indigenous ancestral knowledge, this beautiful deck presents the tarot as a form of earth medicine. Focusing on the animistic realm, this tarot deck and guidebook takes us on an internal vision quest where we learn the wisdom of all natural things.   Each of the seventy-eight cards features three keywords on the front for instant access to the traditional tarot meanings. The four suits have been renamed according to their element rather than their symbol, which further enhances the deck’s connection to nature: water rather than cups, fire rather than wands, wind rather than swords, and earth rather than pentacles. The ninety-six-page full-color booklet includes the traditional tarot meanings as well as an oracle-style message. The message presents “the medicine,” a word used in indigenous spiritual traditions to refer to the spiritual healing power with which each animal or plant is endowed.   When we become one with the earth and her messages, then we are truly on a journey for self-awareness and a deeper understanding of life.
