This is the Gentle Tarot (linen edition) by Mari in the Sky. Mari is a nature -inspired illustrator, who created this hand-drawn tarot deck filled with imagery influenced by life in remote Alaska. This Gentle Tarot deck is designed to support and encourage you to follow your wildest dreams, as it has supported and encouragd Mari.

The deck is a classic 78 card deck. Some of the cards are lightly based on the Rider-Waite deck, however many of the illustrations are the result of complete surrender to creative/spiritual process. Motifs and symbols, along with colors, have been used throughout the deck to make for easy recognition and to assist with remembering the meanings of the cards.

The minor arcana labels have been slightly modified, Swords have become Thunder and Pentacles have become Stones.

The cards have color coded rims to match their element:.

• Major Arcana – Spirit – Purple
• Cups – Water – Blue
• Wands – Fire – Red
• Thunder – Air – Yellow
• Stones – Earth – Green

The Gentle Tarot also exhibits mostly people of color. As an indigenous woman, Mari feels it is important to create work with representation because it too often is lacking in the mainstream. We should love our bodies as they are and be proud of our history and proud of whatever skin color we have.
