About this Deck
Step back into the sanctuary of nature with The Ark Animal Tarot & Oracle Deck – Expansion Pack. Created by Bernadette King, this exquisite addition to the original Ark system breathes new life into your readings. Designed to blend seamlessly with the beloved style of the first deck, these 49 new cards invite you to explore the animal kingdom's vast wisdom with even greater nuance. From the tender bonds of motherhood to the echoes of prehistoric giants, this expansion is an essential companion for those who seek a more profound, multi-layered spiritual journey.
Symbolism and Themes
This expansion pack introduces four powerful new themes that provide additional layers of interpretation and insight. The Mothers and Babies cards focus on nurturing, growth, and the inner child, while the Friends, Family, and Lovers cards bring clarity to your interpersonal relationships and social dynamics. For those drawn to the ancient and the ethereal, the Prehistoric and Mythical themes bridge the gap between our current reality and the timeless archetypes of the past. Each card resonates with a unique energy, ensuring your readings are as versatile as they are visually stunning.
