The Herbcrafter’s Tarot

Absolutely gorgeous tarot deck! Iv been a tarot reader for 20 years and this is one of my new favourite decks. I don’t think it’s a beginners deck in the traditional style of reading but is a wonder first intuitive deck, so if you already have a good idea of what the traditional tarot meanings are but are looking for a deck full of imagery and depth and can be read from the images on the cards this is wonderful. There is a book that comes with it which has all the interpretations and extra prompts which are friendly and inspirational. There is a little bit about the herbs but I feel this is a deck that will encourage you to research the meanings and uses of herbal magic and medicine yourself, each card is a jumping off point or an intuitive image that can be interpreted very personally. They each have the traditional tarot name of each card that they are inspired by so you can, if you know the traditional meanings, also read them this way. Each card also has a few ‘craft ideas’ in the book to help connect with the card, herb and natural environment around us. I really really loved this. - nice to use also for journaling prompts. (Iv added a photo of one of the pages, for bee balm, so you ca see what I mean) I can’t say enough about the stunning illustrations on each and every card! Whole worlds that you can fall into! I will be using them also for meditation and on my altar for daily inspiration. I will say that this seems to be a great deck for the cycles and archetypes of women and their journey through life. It would be fantastic for use in women’s groups and moon circles. I bought this deck more to use as a research and inspiration tool, picking one to three cards a week and researching all I can on the herbs that come out, then journaling on their magical, spiritual, practical and medical meanings and uses. The quality of the cards - thickness and sheen- is really very good. As is the box and book.

This deck is absolutely gorgeous; the artwork is beautiful and so inspiring! The guide book is written in a way that makes it easy to relate each card to it's basic meaning. I've seen some comments say it's not a readable deck, which I think is a little unfair. It's obvious at first glance that this is a niche deck and not one with the more recognizable imagery. If that bothers you as a reader, don't buy it! This deck is very readable and the detailed guide book makes it very easy to understand the connection to a traditional tarot deck and each card meaning. It also includes some crafting ideas for each herb, which is a nice bonus way of working with this deck. My only negative point is the card stock. It's not as thick as I like, but that said, it's about as good as it gets with mass market decks, so can't complain too much about that! A well deserved five stars; just gorgeous!

Beautiful and relaxing deck to work with. A great way to learn about herbs. Card quality is very good. The illustrations are very inspiring.

I'm over the moon with this deck, it's brilliant. It only arrived yesterday but I've spent all evening reading through the book and looking at the cards and it's just a joyful deck to work with. The guidebook is well written and inspirational. I asked the deck to give me one card to help me connect with it and I drew the six of earth, which is Pine, so later today I'll go for a dog walk in the forest and try to find some pine cones or even some pine needles and maybe make some tea from them. I love this deck.

I was very impressed with this tarot deck. It comes in a lovely presentation box which includes an instruction manual, explaining the meanings of the cards. Rather different from the standard tarot but it will bring a new dimension to your readings. I use it alongside the Rider Waite deck and my Oracle Cards and it works perfectly. The artwork on the cards is beautiful.

GOING by the great reviews of others, and all their pictures, I was very intrigued to try these. they really are lovely. breathtaking illustrations and a thorough guidebook. Unfortunately, I do not know enough about herbs and, as I need to read the cards fast for my business, I am pondering returning them. as someone suggested here, they may be excellent for journalling, or a novice herbalist or Wiccan. AS I am neither, They don't work for my purpose. I simply need to coME to a qUICK UNDERSTANDING OF THE CARDS'meaning. THE JURY"S OUT: I may persevere for a while... They. ARE incredibly unique and I'm truly impressed by them visually...

I am not one to normally write reviews but I made a distinct choice to come here and write one. These cards and the descriptions are amazing! I am so In love. They are very informative and beautiful.. through word and art. The correlation between the traditional tarot meaning and the herb of choice is brilliant! These are exactly what I was looking for and more. What are you waiting for, grab your very own! :)

Absolutely stunning artwork on every card, one of the prettiest decks I've seem, The matching of the plants to the Tarot cards is very well thought out and doesn't seem arbitrary (as it can sometimes do in decks where crystals or something are "matched" to form a Tarot deck.) The accompanying booklet is roughly 4" by 6" and a 1/4" thick. It's got an attractive clean layout with a page devoted to each card that talks about thge significance of the picture and the plant and what the card would mean in a reading. Lovely deck and I'm look forward to working with it and properly reading the booklet.
