Product Description
Gaian Tarot: Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves
by Joanna Powell Colbert
Gaia (Mother Nature) is the primal Greek goddess said by ancients to have given birth to the sky, sea, mountains, and all of creation. This beautiful 78-card contemporary and mythical Tarot set with accompanying spiritual guide has a focus on the healing of the earth and of the self. The Major Arcana cards represent 22 soul lessons and archetypes that grew out of the religious and mystical worldview of Renaissance Europe. The Minors illustrate elements, numbers, and people. Interpretations include uprights and reverse divinatory meanings, themes, exercises, symbolism, journal questions, affirmations, and ten spreads. Sometimes the cards illustrate part of the world we live in, sometimes they show the realms of spirit, and sometimes they inhabit the borderlines between the two. Gaian spirituality understands that humans, plants, animals, stones, and stars are all inextricably linked—when one strand is pulled, the entire web is affected. Especially intended for those who practice earth-centered spirituality.<br><br>Includes cards and book.
Deeply spiritual, nature inspired, and undeniably beautiful - "The Gaian Tarot" offers a true connection to our Earth Mother. Classic tarot archetypes and suits have been wisely updated to reflect a lush, contemporary, and multicultural world steeped in Gaian myth and lore. The pregnant gardener revelling in a bountiful harvest is actually the Empress, and the Magician has become a ritual drummer. Not only does this evocative Pagan deck put us in touch with Divine wisdom and spiritual teachings, it also offers a vision of hope and healing for our planet.
