A magical collection of 83 minerals and plants emerges again from within earth and soil.
As a GIA Gemologist and botanical illustrator, I had long been dreaming of devising a beautiful rock/crystals collection which would not be limited by rarity or price. The Telluric Tarot allows each stone's unique essence to shine with equal light and be held inside your own palm. I took special care in choosing and accurately representing each mineral, guided by their crystal structure, physical characteristics, formation process and cultural significance. Each stone is paired with a companion plant, enhancing the symbolism of each tarot card and fully harnessing a magic springing from the earth-Tellus- itself, after which I named my deck and philosophy.
ECLECTIC AND GENDER-NEUTRAL
The Telluric Tarot draws guidance through the universal properties of stones and plants. It can be easily adapted to many different faiths and divination practices.
The number of cards and meanings were based on the Rider-Waite tradition as a starting point so the deck is compatible with typical tarot readings, albeit with a naturalistic interpretation. However it also stands entirely on its own as an oracle deck, featuring a unique voice suitable for beginners as well as seasoned readers looking for a different approach. The language and elements presented in this deck are fully gender-neutral which can be easily applied to any personal lifestyle, relationship status, and identities.
Each card is named for its own mineral and plant pairing and numbered under its respective suit; Soul, Drive, Emotion, Mind or Domain
The Cards
The cards feature full-colour watercolour style illustrations, printed on 350gsm 2.75" x 4.75" cards with glossy protective lamination and matte black edges to complement the simple charcoal backing.
The Telluric Tarot guidebook
