The Somatic Tarot

The Somatic Tarot – A deck for embodied insight and inner liberation

The Somatic Tarot is a revolutionary tarot deck created by somatic educator and author Abigail Rose Clarke. This is not a traditional deck with kings and knights, but a completely reimagined system where archetypes speak through elements and symbols—no human figures at all. The deck invites deep inner work, healing and deconstruction of old patterns. Beautifully designed and fully original, it comes in collaboration with the creator and has become a beloved deck worldwide.
