Linda Ritter

Linda Ritter is the creator and artist behind the Northern Animal Tarot, a deck that uniquely combines anthropomorphic animals with the classic Rider-Waite-Smith tarot archetypes. She draws inspiration from the natural world around her, especially the creatures of the forest, which are a central theme in her artwork. Linda's Northern Animal Tarot is celebrated for its warm autumnal tones and the way it captures the essence of the northern hemisphere's landscapes. The deck includes not only the standard 78 cards but also 22 additional cards, including seasonal, moon phase, and shadow cards, each contributing to a deeper and more nuanced reading experience. The cards are printed on high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, reflecting her commitment to sustainability. Linda Ritter's work reflects her deep love for fairy tales, folklore, and the symbolic use of animals in storytelling. She meticulously designed this deck to be both a visual and tactile experience, with the cards printed on linen finish, and each deck coming with a hand-printed cotton tarot bag. Linda is based in Canada, and her deck has been well-received by both new and experienced tarot readers for its combination of beauty, depth, and accessibility.
