Universal Goddess Tarot (English and Spanish Edition)

Mother, wife, warrior, witch—the divine feminine figure has multiple voices and forms. Each goddess represents an aspect of woman, nature, and the Divine. Use this exquisite deck to seek out the wisdom of Goddesses from mythologies around the world.

Publisher Review:

The Universal Goddess Tarot manages to succeed, both conceptually and artistically, where other goddess Tarots and oracles fail. First, rather than a random collection of goddesses, it illustrates each arcana with a goddess that expresses the traditional meanings of the cards. Second, it presents the goddesses as complex, real, and, in a way, human. Third, the art manages to express the unique character and culture of each goddess yet the deck as a whole feels unified. Finally, the Little White Booklet captures in very few words the voice of the goddess and the meaning of the card; in addition, it includes a spread that is useful both on a divinatory and spiritual level.

Most people agree that Tarot cards have more than one meaning. And most people…read more.

Tarot of the Sweet Twilight (English and Spanish Edition)

Whispers of twilight twist in the corners of your soul. Surreal images surprise your mind. Colors and curves delight your eyes. Bittersweet beauty stirs your heart. You change, grow wiser, and find that the world is complicated, but no less beautiful.

 

Publisher Review:

Honesty is imperative. You must know from the start: I love this deck. My heart was lost to it almost a year ago when I was in Italy working in the Lo Scarabeo offices. Riccardo Minetti, the editor there, pulled out Cristina’s original artwork and that was, as they say, that. Later, the little flame in my heart was fanned—again by Riccardo—into a bonfire when I was asked to write the dreaded Little White Booklet. If you think using those books is frustrating, try writing them! Luckily, Riccardo turned what could have been a wretched experience into a magical one. He knows that my “mental deck” is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. He knows that it is my wont to force all decks into that mold. So he instructed me to just sit with this art, one picture at a time and forget what card it is supposed to be and what the Rider-Waite-Smith version looks like. Just sit with the art and write down what it says. And so I did. And in doing so, [read more]

Tarot of Mermaids (Lo Scarabeo Series) (English and Spanish Edition)

The Sirens, fascinating creatures of the Imagination, take their place on the stage of the Tarot. This contemporary deck evokes dreams and sensations through both their graceful beauty and the classical symbolism of the Tarot. Give in to the song and let these cards lead you through the depths of your subconscious to find the answers you seek.

 

Publisher’s Review:

Did you know that when Persephone was kidnapped, the gods gave mermaids wings so they could go look for her? I didn’t. Did you know that in the fairy tales of northern Italy, “melusine” or “anguane” were ethereal feminine creatures with the tails of snakes who live in ponds and swamps? I didn’t. Clearly there is a lot I didn’t know about mermaid lore before studying this deck. So I began the journey full of anticipation.

The Tarot of Mermaids does a wonderful job of inviting us into the dark waters [read more]

Tarot of the Magical Forest (English and Spanish Edition)

Take a Tarot walk through an enchanted forest.

Throughout human history and across every culture, there have been legends, myths, and tales of talking animals. This delightful Tarot takes advantage of this by using animals on all of the cards, adding to the Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism that was already there.

The Major Aracana cleverly features sheep, lions, bears, pigs, hedgehogs, and kangaroos, adding a wonderful feel to the cards that is happy and basic. The Strength card, which shows a lamb and a lion nuzzling each other, has to be the sweetest version of this card ever. The Sun card shows a baby kangaroo in his mother’s pouch in a field of sunflowers under a huge sun happily waving a little red flag with innocent, blissful joy.

The Minor Arcana suits, while traditionally named, each feature a specific animal: Cups have bunnies, Pentacles have foxes, Wands have frogs, and Swords have cats. These choices brilliantly represent the suit qualities. Bunnies bring forth feelings of warmth and sweetness. Foxes are thought to be clever. Cats can be seen as intelligent and emotionally distant. Frogs, well, they like games (leap frog, anyone?).

So the 4 of Cups shows a bunny under a tree with three cups in the foreground and one being offered by a hand emerging from a cloud (like the RWS). This bunny has her eyes closed and is very much at peace, using creative visualization to manifest what she wants.

This refreshing, whimsical, and wonderful deck will surprise you every time you use its immediately evocative images.
