Based on the seasonal rhythms and festivals of the ancient year, "The Wildwood Tarot" draws its inspiration from pre-Celtic mythology and shamanic mysteries, placing mystical archetypes into a nature-based system rich in shamanic wisdom and forest lore. The archetypal forces of the deck act as both guides and interpreters, taking us on a spiritual, mystical and psychological journey deep into the labyrinth of primal Earth mysteries.. To walk among the age-old trees of the wildwood is to journey back in time. In this eye-catching deck, previously known as "The Greenwood Tarot", Mark Ryan and John Matthews reawaken the classic forest archetypes of the Green Man and Woman, the Archer, the Hooded Man and the Blasted Oak. Will Worthington's rich and vivid images bring this ancient world back to life and make it possible to feel the magic and power of the wildwood. The 160-page book comes with a 78 beautifully illustrated tarot cards.

I love this deck! I have many sets of tarot cards and this one, which I have only just received, was well worth the wait. It comes well packaged and includes a full guidebook, not the flimsy little paper leaflets you get with many decks. The cards are well made and the artwork is simply stunning! Each card is different and has unique artwork, which is a traditional, and not computer-generated graphic. The colours are rich and deep and there is a very European pagan feel to the imagery, lots of green man and hares etc. They may be a challenge to learn if you are used to a traditional tarot deck as the pictures are so different but this shouldn't put you off, they are really lovely! The only small gripe is the back of the cards are plain green with a plain white boarder and some text from the publisher - it's a bit dull really but otherwise a very nice deck and a welcome addition to my collection!

I bought this because I already own the Greenwood tarot, which I use constantly. The Wildwood tarot is a revisioning of the Greenwood, its themes and archetypes from British prehistory onwards - and it's excellent! It's more streamlined that the Greenwood (no insult intended) and in several ways, I found it simpler to use, and I think a beginner would too. The artwork contains some powerful images and is certainly different to most tarot decks. The accompanying book is also well written, easily understood and the spreads within simple to interpret. I am looking forward to working with this deck through the year, though that doesn't mean I will abandon the Greenwood deck, which remains my favourite on balance. But it's pretty close! A fantastic job done by Ryan, Worthington and Matthews, you can tell that this deck was created by people who really know their stuff!

Having owned the Greenwood Tarot for many years I have waited such a ling time to find a tarot that appeals to me on the same level and finally this is It. The images are stunning - just like the Greenwood , although that deck will always be my favourite, a lot of care andwork has been put into this deck by one of the original creators of the Greenwood. Well made and presented deck with a very good accompanying book. Great images very reminiscent of the greenwood. Highly recommended.

Great cards
Loved the cards, although it took a little while to get used to the descriptions. Book was OK but similar to a lot of other tarot books.

Wildwood Tarot
I bought this because I am a big fan of the Druidcraft Tarot, drawn by the same artist. I thought there might be some new elements in this deck that would stimulate or interest me. Read more
