A unique approach to tarot with symbol-rich scenes based on the five elements fire, water, air, earth, and spirit translating the cards' divine wisdom into actionable guidance.Tarot and magick opened Melinda Lee Holm's life to endless possibilities and she'd like to help you open yours in the same way. Through unique imagery and elemental card interpretations, Melinda, a tarot priestess, creates a most personal, integrative experience of self-discovery. Eliminating human figures entirely, the cards in the Elemental Power Tarot present symbol-rich scenes that invite the user to step in and explore for themselves. The objects and scenes of the cards feel as accessible as they do magickal. You'll learn what it is like to inhabit the garden of The Empress or to reach out and grab the Ace of Swords. Rohan Eason's expressive illustrations hold a treasure trove of symbols that offer visual clues to the wisdom of the cards. The accompanying guide book contains Melinda's philosophy of Tarot, card meanings, and her elemental system of interpreting cards and spreads, including an apothecary item for the major arcana cards, embodying a real Earth element solution.
Absolutely great!
WOW! I am new to practicing tarot on my own but this deck and booklet has got me hooked. Immediately I'm drawn to the openness of the imagery and the pairing of real world elements along with the guidance; the apothecary portion is educational on its own. I am starting slow with the 3 card spread but the book guides you through 5 and 10 card spreads too. The cards are wonderful to hold with a satin sheen (I don't like glossy) and everything can be stored in a neat little, easy to transport magnetic closure box. The muted colors are gorgeous and the lack of people really helps me place myself in the reading. This deck is very accessible to a newb like me, I can't wait until I get up to 10 cards just so I can take in the gorgeous illustrations.
