Description
Dried bundles hanging from the rafters, tea steeping on the stove, a basket of garden cuttings by the door.
This is where the plants and the cards meet.
A 78-card tarot deck that honors herbs, plant spirits, and the crafts that bring us their gifts. 🌿The Herbcrafter's Tarot, written by herbalist Latisha Guthrie with artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert (creator of the Gaian Tarot) and published by U.S. Games Systems, is a 78-card deck with a 124-page companion book. It follows the Rider-Waite-Smith structure, seen through an herbalist's eyes. The suits become the elements, each paired with an herbcrafter's tool: Fire with the mortar and pestle, Water with the kettle, Air with the boline, and Earth with the basket. The court cards are reimagined as Hijas, Adelitas, Madres, and Curanderas, honoring plant wisdom carried through Mexican-American and Celtic heritage. Every card approaches an herb, tree, or flower as an archetype, deepening your relationship with the botanical world. The book offers card meanings, five spreads, and ideas for crafting with the cards, from cordials and flower essences to incense, oils, and herbal honeys. On your altar or kitchen table, this deck makes every reading feel like time spent in a well-loved garden.
