Design and Artwork

The “Animal Totem Tarot” by Leeza Robertson, featuring artwork by Eugene Smith, is a 78-card tarot deck that blends natural world imagery with traditional tarot symbolism. Each borderless card vividly portrays animals in their natural habitats, providing a unique perspective on their qualities. Smith’s artistry offers a stylized yet authentic depiction of animals, with a focus on avoiding anthropomorphism and highlighting the coexistence of nature and human impact.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck embraces a global array of animals, not just as symbols of human qualities but as wise teachers and guides. It adheres to the traditional Rider-Waite structure with 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards, including the suits of Swords, Pentacles, Cups, and Wands. The artwork uses a natural palette and integrates traditional tarot symbols, like shields for Knights and crowns for Kings and Queens, into the scenes.
