Wise Earth Medicine Tarot

Wise Earth Medicine Tarot is a beautiful seventy-eight-card deck inspired by the powerful wisdom of the natural world and features animals, insects, and plant life.
The tarot, even with its resurgence and proliferation, still remains an enigma for many. Though its foundation remains rooted in the Rider-Waite-Smithtradition, Wise Earth Medicine Tarot endeavors to simplify the mysteries of the tarot and ground it in the natural world. Many tarot enthusiasts prefer nonhuman figures in their decks due to reasons that include gender bias, race bias, body-shape bias, colonization, and other reasons. In addition, the unique presentation of tarot elements will broaden the market for this deck to include those who prefer oracles and to those making a transition into tarot.
Each card features three tarot keywords on the frontfor instant access to the traditional 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 112-page full-color booklet will include the traditional tarot card meaningsas well as an oracle-style message. This latter message presents "the medicine," a word used in indigenous spiritual traditions to refer to the spiritual healing that each animal or plant is endowed with.
Drawing upon her indigenous ancestral knowledge, creator Lalania Simone presents the tarot as a form of earth medicine. Tarot for people about people leaves our internal vision quest on a level immersed in our own species. However, the earth has so much to tell us outside of our day-to-day human-centered experience. With Wise Earth Medicine Tarot, the pathway for engagement is opened up to allow our spiritual and intuitive journeys to move beyond humanness into a more animistic realm where we discover that all natural things have agency. When we become one with the earth and her messages, then we are truly on a journey for self-awareness and deeper understanding of life.
