Look to the heart of a primeval forest where deep ancestral wisdom lies to help make sense of your world today.

The tarot cards draw inspiration from pre-Celtic mythology and a belief system steeped in shamanic mysteries. It’s easy to quickly access the magical lore of the Wildwood through descriptions of each card, revealing its historical and mythological background as well as its divinatory meaning. From the Green Man and Woman to the Hooded Man and Blasted Oak, authors Mark Ryan and John Matthews introduce forest archetypes based on the seasonal rhythms and festivals of the ancient year. Step back in time to better understand where your life’s path may lead.
