This vibrantly colored deck is designed to integrate the healing properties of traditional herbs with the esoteric symbolism of tarot. The Herbal Tarot follows the general assignments of the Rider-Waite deck, but each card is assigned an individual medicinal herb based on intuition, astrological, and energetic values. Each card features and identifies a different herb.
The deck was illustrated by artist Candis Cantin under the direction of herbalist Michael Tierra. According to the creators, "The Herbal Tarot is a tool for studying the psycho-physical energy of herbs. Herbs, when combined with the tarot, can provide a symbolic material manifestation to accompany a specific divination. This encourages communication with the subconscious, for which the tarot cards are especially powerful."
The symmetrical card backs feature sprigs of rosemary. The booklet provides both upright and reversed meanings.
Candis Cantin is an herbalist, holistic counselor, and teacher of the herbal path. She has studied Ayurvedic, Chinese, European, and Native American traditions of herbal healing.
