About The Fairy Tale Tarot

 

Product Summary from LLewellyn.com:

Your happily ever after awaits . . . Transport yourself to a faraway land of enchantment—a magical world where wondrous fantasies abound and anything is possible. Created by internationally renowned tarot artist Lisa Hunt, this unique tarot deck brings to life our most beloved fairy tales from around the world.

See the cunning Puss in Boots as the Mentor (High Priest), Little Red Riding Hood as the Fool, and the Fairy Godmother as the Empress. Built within the Rider-Waite tradition, The Fairy Tale Tarot invites you to call upon your imagination and find your own adventures.

~ Charming & evocative artwork in the tarot card deck & book vividly portrays each fairy tale
~ Delightful retellings of the stories and an explanatory discussion of the symbolism
~ Suggested tarot card spreads and layouts for divination

The Stories That Made Us Who We Are

When we were young, fairy tales helped us learn concepts like good overcoming evil and gave us comfort in their charm. Cards in the Tarot tell symbolic stories, too. Now, popular artist Lisa Hunt combines the two in an exciting and evocative new deck.

Little Red Riding Hood—naively foolish but eventually triumphant—perfectly represents the Fool. The transformation of a creature into a handsome man (Beauty and the Beast) fits the meaning of change represented by the Death card. The cunning Puss in Boots is the High Priest.

Every card has a fairy tale associated with it, and the full-sized book, Once Upon a Time..., accompanying the deck tells the tale, explains the symbolism and meaning
(familiar to those who know the Rider-Waite-Smith deck), and gives keywords to make interpretation easy.

Return to the days of childhood freedom, confidence, imagination, and fantasy, and empower your readings with this new Tarot set.

Praise for The Fairy Tale Tarot:

"A whimsical twist on traditional tarot, this new deck helps us connect with our inner child and reach a place of further self-discovery."
--New Age Retailer

"This is a great deck for personal work, for collectors, for those looking for a deck to use with children, for those interested in myth and fairy tales, and for those interested in fantasy/magical art and story."
--Aeclectic Tarot

"This ambitious work delights, surprises, and transports, exceeding any possible expectation because it is true to the source of meaning and creativity from which stories and tarot both spring."
--Tarot Reflections
