Based on the seasonal Rhythms and festivals of the ancient Wheel of the year 'The Greenwood Tarot' draws its inspiration from pre-Celtic mythology, ecology and the shamanic mysteries. Woodland was seen by our primordial ancestors as a conscious, living entity, embodying a host of protective deities and archetypes, such as The Green Man and Greenwoman, The Blasted Oak, The Magician. Over time, these woodland archetypes have become an integral part of our legend and folk-lore, as the original Robin Hood tales, the Arthurian cycles and even aspects of Christian theology demonstrate. 'The Greenwood Tarot' places these mystical archetypes into a simple, nature-based tarot system which is rich in shamanic wisdom and alive with forest lore. The arena act as both guides and interpreters, taking you on a spiritual, mystical and psychological journey deep into the labyrinth of primal earth mysteries and Jungian archetypes. Used as a meditation system, a divination oracle or as a reference work for the seeker of profound esoteric knowledge. 'The Greenwood Tarot' will draw you into the warm, nurturing cradle of the forest and enable you to realise your interconnectedness both with others and with the planet.

The deck uses what might be termed pre-Celtic {?} British religious symbols, such as images of animals, landmarks and gods and goddesses, including the Green Man . The four suits are Wands, Arrows, Cups and Stones, each aligning to a different season and element on the Wheel of the Year, around which the deck is based.
The major arcana is also different in that some cards have been changed from the normal format. For instance, The ancestor takes the place of the Heirophant, The Archer replaces the Chariot, Balance is there instead of Temperance, The Greenwoman instead of the Empress, The Greenman as the Emperor, The Blasted Oak as the Tower, and there are a few other surprises, too.
The artwork is extraordinary and I am sorry that this deck is no longer in print. It is a great loss. ( )
