Inspired by the common playing card deck, this edition is a modified size (70mm x 105mm) that makes riffle shuffling easy for all hand sizes. The linen finish will allow for the smoothest Gentle Tarot experience to date!
The Deck
There are a total of 89 cards. 81 tarot cards, including an extra Major Arcana card and two options to choose from for the Lovers card (non-human butterfly card or gender-neutral human card). The additional 8 cards are a colourful batch of Quick Reference Keys, sample spreads, Opening and Closing Intention, as well as a personal note and link to the PDF Guidebook.
This deck has the same beautiful hand-drawn imagery that is heavily influenced by life in remote Alaska as the original Gentle Tarot deck, but with the aim of creating a version of the Gentle Tarot that is still high in quality, but easy on the pocket in terms of price. (*Please note that this cardstock is not at all comparable to the high quality/durability of the First Edition and Pocket Edition. It is meant to be easier on a budget and also an easier riffle shuffle for those with arthritic hands.)
The Creator
This deck was created by Mariza Aparicio-Tovar, a nature-inspired illustrator and the artist behind Mari in the Sky. Mariza says this about creating this linen edition, "I strongly feel that this deck wants to reach a broader spectrum of people, including those who come from a similar background as myself where money is not very disposable."
