Like so many others, I followed Joanna’s journey over about a decade as she created the Gaian Tarot. From the first time I saw her art, probably 10 years ago at a conference, I knew this deck was special.
When I had the opportunity to purchase the limited edition Majors Only deck, I jumped on it. Likewise, with the limited edition full deck, even though I knew the mass market edition would be available eventually. Now I own all three and love them all.
This is the deck I bring with me into circles and rituals; it is my spiritual workings deck.
The images make me happy, thoughtful, brave, bold, and safe. They create a sacred space in which I feel safe enough to explore issues that otherwise I might shy away from. They let me discover parts of myself, beautiful and strong aspects, that I was blind to. Working with these cards helps me be the person I want to be.
I am proud to have played a hand in making the mass market version available through Llewellyn publishing. I am glad that the deck is now available at a price point that is within reach of most tarot lovers. To celebrate the mass market edition, here is a conversation I had with Joanna recently.
