Fantastical Creatures Tarot

by D.J. Conway, Lisa Hunt (Illustrator)

From the worlds of mythology, folklore and legend, Fantastical Creatures Tarot brings to life a colorful menagerie of mystical beings. Lisa Hunt's luminous artwork shows us glimpses of the mystical beings that inhabit our imagination, and reveals the lessons they can teach us.“Most ancient cultures believed that it was possible to make contact with these mystical creatures. The priests, magicians, and shamans understood that contact would not be on the Earth plane, but on the astral level. They followed certain traditions that allowed them to tap into this source of power, using it in their spiritual and magickal rituals.Today, most people have lost touch with these ancient sources and most no longer believe in them. It is possible, however, to relearn the ancient art of communication with fantastic creatures. When approached in the proper ways, these powers can help us. By tapping into these astral sources, we can use the ancient images in divination to gain a clearer picture of what is causing life-problems and what we can do about it. Includes 72-page booklet and Quick Reference Guide to the Cards for both the Major and Minor Arcana.

Comprised of a plethora of myths, cultural influences, and imagery pulled across a millennia of human existence, this tarot deck is both uplifting and cautious in its optimism. Realistic expectations grace each card in a much-appreciated mix of fantasy and reality for the novice and for the pro.

This was my very first deck of tarot cards. And I am eternally grateful that it called to me.

Booklet and cards. Lovely deck, and the booklet was well packed with a brief note on the creature used for each cards. There was also a two card "quick reference" which could be very useful.
