Tuin van Gaia

Tuin van Gaia - 61 herbs as spiritual allies

Plants do not only heal the body. They can also give direction, help with decisions, or simply make space in a day that feels too full. This deck brings together 61 herbs, each representing a distinct theme.

The cards are drawn by Pablo Piatti and published by Het Zevende Huis. Each plant is recognisably depicted, with attention to detail and colour. The cards have gilded edges and feel solid in the hand.

What you see on the cards

Piatti draws botanically, but not in a strictly scientific way. He shows each herb as it behaves: with movement, colour, and the environment in which it grows. The illustrations are poetic without becoming unclear.

The guidebook describes the symbolic meaning and possible application for each herb. No long essays, but enough to work with. The tone is gentle yet practical.

How this deck works

You can use it as you would any oracle: draw a card and read what it says. The strength lies in the connection between herb and theme. Many people choose a card at the start of the day and let that plant return as an image during moments of rest or choice.

This is not a herbal medicine course. You do not need to know anything about botany to read the cards. The plants here serve as carriers of meaning, not as recipes.

Draw a card and then look online to see what that plant looks like in the wild. That deepens the connection faster than reading the text alone.

About Pablo Piatti

Pablo Piatti was born in Argentina and now lives in Antwerp. He works as a visual artist and muralist. His work is characterised by detailed depictions of flora and fauna, often with a poetic undertone.

For this deck he illustrated each plant individually. His style is realistic but not distant, which suits the tone of the oracle.

Questions we often get

Do I need to know about herbs to use this deck?
No. The cards work with symbolism, not botanical knowledge. The guidebook explains what each plant can mean spiritually. That is separate from herbal medicine.

How does this deck differ from other nature oracles?
This deck focuses specifically on herbs and plants, not on trees, animals or landscapes. The drawing style is realistic, the tone gentle. It is not a wild oracle, more a soft guide.
