The Spiritsong deck is based off of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith system, however, Paulina Cassidy has switched up the suits for a nature theme that pairs well with the animals on her cards. Wands are acorns, swords are feathers, cups are shells, and pentacles/coins are crystals. The artwork is gorgeous: ethereal and soft but still powerful. The deck comes with a little guidebook with inspiring messages for both the upright and reversal positions of each card. Also, each card is printed with words that sum up their meanings. This deck is one of my favorites in my collection. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com

Synopsis
Spiritsong Tarot won second place for ATA Reader's Choice Award for Best Tarot Deck of 2017This Spiritsong deck is a melding of two traditions of divination: one in which animals are seen as guides between our world and the spirit world, and one that uses 78 cards as a tool to connect with our highest self. Each animal was specifically selected based upon Shamanic and Native American symbolism, merging each animal's unique power with classic tarot practices. For example, the Spiritsong animal, Raven, has attributes such as 'creation' that parallels some of the same symbolic tarot attributes of the traditional Magician card, which is why the Raven is the animal representing that card.The Spiritsong Tarot structure is based on the traditional tarot, containing the 22 Majors, the 56 Minors, and four suits: Acorns for Wands/Fire; Feathers for Swords/Air; Shells for Cups/Water; and Crystals for Pentacles/Earth.Connected to the portals of higher worlds, the 78 Spiritsong animals are mentors of divine guidance. Bearing their own Shamanic powers, they're forever open to providing their energy when called upon. They're always available to help you attain your greatest spiritual potential. If you ask, they will provide guidance needed to assist you in finding the best remedy for any situation. Set includes 78 cards and 108-page guidebook.Also by Paulina Cassidy: Joie de Vivre Tarot, Witchlings Deck and Book Set and Paulina Tarot
