The primal language of this deck reaches straight to our inner depths and evokes a response that feels ancient and all-knowing. The images comfort the mind and nurture the heart even as they speak of profound cosmic mysteries. Stripped bare of the arcane and medieval, the Tarot of the Four Elements offers an original approach without compromising the Tarot's inherent archetypal structure--a feat indeed!

This is a set I would recommend to anyone interested in exploring tarot, whether it's your first deck or a very good addition to your collection. The stimulating and thrilling artwork and insightful text in Tarot of the Four Elements will help every reader bring its ancient energies to life. If you are looking to find balance and harmony with the natural world around you, this deck could prove useful as it seems to draw its inspiration from the earth. The potent journey mapped out in the deck has roots that reach into our ancient ancestral webwork, encouraging us to feel and dream as a means to contact the unconcious forces of life. What is wonderful about this tarot is that it draws [the images] forth emotionally as well as intellectually. Using the Tarot of the Four Elements almost makes any tarot reading an instinctual act.
