The Gentle Tarot – A loving connection with nature
About this deck
The Gentle Tarot, created by Mari in the Sky, is a hand-drawn tarot deck that reflects the tranquility and grandeur of remote Alaska. This indigenously made 78-card deck is infused with the spirituality of nature and offers a gentle, healing approach to tarot. Each card is a work of art in itself, mixing traditional tarot themes with the deep connection with the earth.
Background and imagery
The symbolism of The Gentle Tarot is strongly rooted in nature and the elements. Colors play an important role in interpretation, and the Minor Arcana has undergone a unique adjustment: Swords are represented as Thunder and Pentacles as Stones. This transformation reflects the creator's spiritual journey and connection with the natural world.
