Deck Review: Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert
The Gaian Tarot is a contemporary, multicultural deck designed for those who practice an earth-centered spirituality. The deck is mythical yet rooted in the natural world, paying homage to Gaia (Mother Nature) and Her many children. Featuring 78 stunning cards and accompanying guide book, this highly anticipated second edition features an updated card design, new art for the card backs, revised guidebook content, an updated box, and (by popular request) slightly reduced card size for easier shuffling.
You can see the unboxing video on TikTok or Youtube and the complete flickthrough on TikTok or Youtube. I also posted two spreads, an interview spread and the River of Story spread.
