The Herbal Tarot

The Herbal Tarot a vibrantly colored deck integrates the healing properties of traditional herbs with the esoteric symbolism of the tarot. Herbal Tarot follows the Rider-Waite deck, with each card assigned an individual medicinal herb based upon intuition, astrological and energetic values. A different herb is pictured and identified on each card. The deck was drawn by artist Candice 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 joined 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 Herbal Tarot's card back feature sprigs of rosemary. The booklet gives both upright and reversed meanings.
