In this card world, woodland animals move through landscapes of plants, branches, and leaves. The visual language is recognizable from Rider-Waite-Smith, but the human figures are replaced by woodland creatures. The colors are described as vibrant, and the drawing style stays calm and precise, with many small shapes that keep your eyes on the card.
This tarot deck includes an accompanying book of 224 pages, is in English, and is published by Amber Lotus Publishing.
These tarot cards follow the timeless Rider-Waite-Smith framework and translate the Major and Minor Arcana into an enchanted woodland setting. The familiar scenes remain the starting point, but the roles are carried by creatures of the woods, presented in the text as sharing innate wisdom and spiritual guidance.
The deck is intended to be used on its own or together with Jessica Roux’s Woodland Wardens Oracle. That way you can keep working within the same world and deepen your relationship to the Wardens while still reading within a classic tarot structure.
The accompanying book is described as fantastic, with a note that it is particularly helpful for beginners. Customers also say the cards are easy to read and understand. About the physical feel, there are two sides: praise for sturdy construction and thick card stock, and at the same time some readers mention that shuffling can be difficult.
Jessica Roux is a Nashville-based freelance illustrator and a plant and animal enthusiast. She loves exploring in her own backyard and being surrounded by an abundance of nature. Using subdued colors and rhythmic shapes, she renders flora, fauna, food, and many other subjects with intricate detail reminiscent of old-world beauty.
This tarot deck reads well if you like the Rider-Waite-Smith structure but prefer animals and plants instead of human figures. It helps if you want to take a lot from the image during a spread, since customers describe the illustrations as beautiful and clear.
The accompanying book is explicitly praised as support for learning, which can feel helpful when you are starting out or when you want more text alongside the card. If you mainly want very easy shuffling, the sturdy, thick cards may sometimes feel harder to handle.
Lay three cards: what is present, what needs attention, what is a next step. Then read each card in the accompanying book and notice which details in the animal and plant world stand out first.
