"The tarot deck is designed to put you in touch with the inner spark of your genius and imagination. Its blend of wisdom-visual and verbal, rational and magical-is a guide for using the power of creativity to transform your life. This handbook is designed to help you recreate yourself and use creativity as an aid toward that self-transformation"--
The creation of The Radiant Tarot deck was born from the author and artist's years of working with archetypal images, the universal symbolic language. Sentient animal and plant kingdoms animate the artwork, honouring and acknowledging the interconnectedness of all life. The art is inspired by "Gaia mind," where all creation's formsโanimal, vegetable, mineralโaffect our precious planet in life-supporting ways.
The words of Rainer Maria Rilke "the animal world? beholds the Open" invite us to understand this renowned poet's insistence that "one must know animals, must feel how the birds fly, and know the gestures with which small flowers open in the morning." William Blake speaks of "animal forms of wisdom", and says that "Nature is Imagination itself." It is the creative energy of these master artists drawn from the natural world that inspire The Radiant Tarot.
The Radiant Tarot lives up to its name, radiating colour, and style, and warmth, and meaning. There is a beauty and simplicity to the images that at the same time yields clear and strong reading." - Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom.
