Included inside: Seventy-eight (78) full-color, spectacularly illustrated Wildwood Tarot cards A 192-page Wildwood Tarot guide book Review: A brilliantly interpreted and gorgeously illustrated deck—don't expect easy answers; do expect deep ones - This is a phenomenal deck. I've used Kris Waldherr's Goddess deck for many years, and I love the rich imagery and goddess mythology of its major arcana, but I'd always wanted to find one with more depth and detail in the minor arcana, as well as one that's more gender-neutral. Most important, I wanted a deck that isn't based on Judeo-Christian symbolism, and I've never really clicked with the imagery of the Native American–based decks I've seen. This one has Celtic/Druidic/pagan/shamanic roots and its artwork calls to mind illustrations in the tradition of British children's fantasy literature—the Narnia Chronicles, Lord of the Rings, Wind in the Willows, Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain, and so on—and every card is gorgeously rendered and distinctly individual. The Wheel of the Year strongly connects the deck to the natural world as well as to astrological charts, and the "wildwood" theme beautifully symbolizes the psychology of the unconscious mind. The accompanying book is invaluable for initiating the reader into the deck's mysteries, as some of the cards aren't readily identifiable with their corresponding cards in decks with more common symbolism (even Goddess has many similarities to Ryder-Waite type decks). Some cards even have meanings that appear to be very different from other decks—for instance, the Five of Vessels is titled "Ecstasy," not at all what one usually associates with the Five of Cups! Until I recalled a line from the final i Ching hexagram, "a hidden sadness resides in the heart of true euphoria," which helped integrate the apparently disparate meanings. I've found the court cards most difficult to assimilate, as each is represented by an animal, and cultural conditioning has given us associations with, for example, the eel or the stoat that are quite different from what those animals represent in this deck—so there's a fair amount of unlearning to be done in order to fully appreciate some of the meanings here. But if you're up for that challenge, the rewards are great. Best of all, the more I work with this deck the more I appreciate its remarkable ability to answer "the question behind the question"—that is, to really get to the heart of things; if a question deals with surface matters, the deck seems to simply ignore the surface and cut right to the underlying issues. Don't expect easy answers; do expect deep ones. As others have mentioned, one could wish it had been printed on better-quality paper; and as an editor I read the book with red pen in hand to correct occasional errors, but these are small quibbles with a truly unique and wonderful deck. Review: Masterfully created! My favorite deck! - This amazing, unique deck brings together so many things I love... tarot, nature, animals, history, medieval lore / mythos, esotericism, the cycle of life, the journey around the wheel, humankind's relationship with Mother Earth... this deck covers it all. Beautifully and meaningfully illustrated. Cards are smooth, perfectly sized, and like a dream to shuffle, even after using the deck for over a year. The guidebook is rich with insights and offers both quick, at-a-glance summaries and in-depth explanations for each card, as well as multiple spreads. The cards primarily use androgynous archetypes that are easily interpreted by any seeker. I can't say enough about how much I love (and use) this deck. It's unlike any other deck I've seen. That said, it does deviate from the traditional decks (i.e. Rider-Waite) and will take some time to learn. There are some direct correlations (e.g. Vessels = Cups/Water, Stones = Pentacles/Earth, Arrows = Swords/Air, Bows = Wands/Fire), and there are some differences (16-The Blasted Oak is a combination of the traditional Hanged Man & Tower cards). But when you read the book and the card descriptions, they all just make SO MUCH SENSE. And the messages are empowering without being sugar-coated - genuine thought-provoking lessons without doom and gloom. ## Features - Occult & Magical - Posters ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,997 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #169 in Tarot #175 in Wicca, Witchcraft & Paganism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,428 Reviews | ## Images ![The Wildwood Tarot Deck: Wherein Wisdom Resides - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zK+ahJUSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliantly interpreted and gorgeously illustrated deck—don't expect easy answers; do expect deep ones *by E***C on June 4, 2016* This is a phenomenal deck.

The art has strong narrative elements to it so it's easy to immerse yourself in the deck. IMHO, when reading, our subconscious translates the symbolism into the message. This deck re-writes the major arcana (Judgment is the now "The Great Bear"); I personally find the imagery more accessible than the R-W, but I love that fantasy shizz. Unfortunately, the LWB is pretty fluffy: "2: THE SEER The Seer is wrapped in the owl's cloak of wisdom decorated with totem animals of power and shamanic spirits. She stands before the World Tree, drawing wisdom from the roots that are deeply embedded in the earth. Close around her are the symbols of the four elements that she mediates: the cup, staff, arrowhead and stone. From the head of her staff hang the crane bag and a set of runes. Her face may only be glimpsed or seen in half-light. Her voice may be hushed and she may speak in riddles, but if you listen, she can point you to new, wiser beginnings. With her inherent ability to balance emotion, intellect and will power, she spurs us to create change in our material world and is a skilled mediator of all the elemental forces found within the Wildwood. She fosters the positive exercise of will, manifested by emotion and commitment and resulting in outer material effect. This is one of the purest and most blessed forms of Earth magic." zzzzzz.... See what I mean? Even Zoltar gets more specific. If you want your reading level to be above that of an internet tarot reader (no shade, everyone's gotta earn a living), I'd pick up a supplemental book (my recommendation - Mandy Greer's Tarot for Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Tarot-Your-Self-2nd-Transformation/dp/1564145883/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516523283&sr=8-1&keywords=tarot+for+yourself) and/or let your intuition guide you. Fortunately, the art is so good that I can look at the seer card and imagine what a wise woman would say to me (seriously, look up that card). ## Frequently Bought Together - The Wildwood Tarot Deck: Wherein Wisdom Resides - Woodland Wardens: 52-Card Oracle Deck & Guidebook - A Year In The Wildwood: Explore The Wildwood Tarot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2204958-the-wildwood-tarot-deck-wherein-wisdom-resides](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2204958-the-wildwood-tarot-deck-wherein-wisdom-resides) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
