Tarot of the Divine Handbook

A guided journey through the archetypes and symbolism of tarot, as interpreted by the artist behind Tarot of the Divine, the tarot deck rooted in multicultural deities, folklore, and fairytales.

Reading tarot cards is both an art and a mindfulness practice. In this guided journal, artist Yoshi Yoshitani guides spiritually curious readers through the universal symbolism in each of the 78 cards in a tarot deck, offering space to reflect on your own understanding of the cards, as well as activities to strengthen your tarot-reading skills.

Throughout, the vivid art and fascinating background prompt you to explore the Fool’s Journey, interact with the cards in new ways, and apply your learnings to any of your favorite decks. Yoshitani's reflection questions provide a thoughtful avenue to approach your tarot readings, encouraging you to record your findings along the way. 
 
Study the archetypes, connect with your favorite cards, and strengthen your intuition using Yoshitani’s Tarot of the Divine as an anchor for learning.
