Description
Design and Artwork
The Tarot of the Magical Forest, created by Hsu Chi Chun with art by Leo Tang, is a delightful and unique addition to the world of Tarot. Each of the 78 cards features charming and whimsical animal characters that add depth to the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism. The Major Arcana includes a range of animals from sheep to kangaroos, each contributing to the card’s narrative. The Strength card’s depiction of a lamb and a lion nuzzling each other is particularly endearing, while the Sun card’s baby kangaroo joyously waving a flag captures a sense of pure happiness.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck’s symbolism is enhanced by the use of different animals in the Minor Arcana suits: Cups are represented by bunnies, Pentacles by foxes, Wands by frogs, and Swords by cats. These choices not only align with the qualities of the suits but also bring an element of playfulness and insight. For example, the Four of Cups shows a contemplative bunny, evoking a sense of peace and introspection, perfectly capturing the essence of the card.
User Experience
The Tarot of the Magical Forest is both refreshing and immediately evocative, making it suitable for beginners and experienced tarot readers alike. The whimsical art style invites users into a magical world, offering a new perspective on traditional tarot readings. The inclusion of a detailed instruction booklet in the boxed deck aids in understanding the unique interpretations of each card.
