Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert


Elder of FireThe Gaian Tarot: Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves is an evocative and powerful tool for accessing inner guidance that speaks to the hearts of those who practice an earth-centered spirituality. Joanna Powell Colbert — one of the “most accomplished and well-loved artists in the Goddess-spirit community,” according to Amber Lotus Publishing — breathes new life into traditional Tarot archetypes with rich images that are multicultural and contemporary. The accompanying book explains the symbolism used in each card, along with divinatory meanings, exercises and meditations that focus on healing the earth and ourselves in both spiritual and practical ways. In these days of environmental destruction and global climate change, the Gaian Tarot offers a vision of hope and healing.

The Gaian Tarot deck & book will be published by Llewellyn Worldwide in September 2011. A special collector's edition is now available, with nearly 600 of 1000 copies already sold.

“My cards are here! It is so exciting to finally have them in my hands and to see how beautiful they really are in real life. I have so enjoyed sharing in your creative process as you posted all of your ideas and thoughts and dreams online that finally having the deck in person is like meeting an old friend. I especially appreciate all of the help and blessings that your friends and family poured into putting the final package together. All of that love and caring are absolutely woven into the deck making it shimmer. The cards are absolutely gorgeous, the packaging was pretty and so fun to unwrap. The bags and amulets are lovely and, oh my, the smell of lavender. Perfect. Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment, a great work of art and a gift to to so many. I put a lot of care into my own first reading. I drew one card, and it was Gaia. What could be more perfect? Many thanks for all of the gifts you have shared, Joanna.  This deck will be at the center of my own spiritual practice now and I am eternally grateful.” - Colleen T., Idaho

People are talking . . .

“Joanna Powell Colbert’s exquisitely beautiful Gaian Tarot is much more than a tarot deck. It’s a doorway into a community of people living close to the land and its creatures. It’s a journey through the seasons where nature mirrors the joys and sorrows, pain and exaltation of what it takes to live in harmony with and through the earth. It reminds us how to know and respect the planet we live on. This is a very readable deck that, if you open to it, will take you right back to the elemental truth that resides inside everything.”
~ Mary K. Greer, author of 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card, Tarot Reversals and the classic Tarot for Your Self.

“The Gaia Tarot is one of the most healing, powerful decks I've ever used for my clients. Its effect is, in a word, profound. I have observed even the most agitated, cynical, or despondent querents become completely captivated by the beautiful, strong images in these cards. From all backgrounds and walks of life, without exception, my clients strongly identify with this deck. And as they can so clearly see themselves in these cards, they can also envision new, inspiring possibilities and solutions to the concerns for which they have sought guidance. The Gaian Tarot is a rare treasure and belongs in the repertoire of every reader.”
~ Beth Owl's Daughter, professional Tarot reader and host of the Raleigh-Durham Tarot MeetUp, second largest Tarot MeetUp in the states
