Design and Artwork

The Northern Animal Tarot Deck, created by Linda Ritter, stands out with its unique interpretation of the classic Rider-Waite Smith tarot archetypes. It presents a captivating 100-card deck, featuring anthropomorphic animals that bring each card to life. These animals range from majestic wolves and deer to mystical ravens and foxes, all depicted with human-like expressions and attire. The realistic yet enchanting art style imbues each card with a sense of magic and wonder, ideal for storytelling and divination.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck resonates with storytellers, daydreamers, and self-healers, offering a fresh perspective for both novice and seasoned tarot readers. Its design maintains the foundational structure of the traditional tarot but replaces human figures with skillfully crafted animal characters, enhancing accessibility and relatability. The Northern Animal Tarot not only follows the standard 78-card format but also includes 22 additional cards: 5 moon, 4 season, 4 shadow, and 3 tarot spread cards, enriching readings with greater depth and complexity.
