Sacred She Tarot Set - feminine archetypes in Eastern and Western imagery
Most tarot decks follow the Western esoteric tradition. This deck deliberately steps outside that line and seeks balance between Eastern philosophy and Western symbolism. Ma Deva Padma designed the Sacred She Tarot Set as a celebration of yin energy, the soft, receptive force that often gets buried today.
The deck contains 78 cards in standard format and comes with a comprehensive book. Padma previously illustrated the Osho Zen Tarot and the Tao Oracle, both known for their calm, meditative quality. You recognise that atmosphere here too.
What you see on the cards
The visual language is symbolic and colourful. Padma works with figures, landscapes and abstract forms that show the transition from action to receptivity. The colours are vibrant but not dominant.
The cards contain no keywords. That means you turn to the book for meaning and context. There you will find a detailed description for each card that translates the symbolism into practical reflection.
The emphasis is on feminine archetypes: the mother, the healer, the wise woman, the guide. The deck uses these images to make universal energies accessible, regardless of your gender or background.
Who this deck works for
This deck is accessible for beginners. The book explains the concepts clearly and requires no prior knowledge of tarot or philosophy. It does ask for stillness: the cards work best when you take time to look at them and read the accompanying text.
Many people use the deck for daily meditation or at transitional moments. Pull one card and let it work for a few days. The symbolism unfolds slowly.
Keep this deck ready at full moon or new moon and draw a card. See which feminine quality asks for extra attention in that phase.

Questions we often get
How does this deck relate to the Osho Zen Tarot?
Both decks are drawn by Ma Deva Padma and share her distinctive style. The difference lies in focus: the Osho Zen Tarot works from Zen philosophy, this deck focuses specifically on feminine yin energy and archetypes. The imagery is similar, the theme different.
Do the cards have keywords printed on them?
No. The cards contain only the images. For the meanings you use the included book, in which each card is described in detail.
