In this episode, I’m talking about a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, plant magic, and earth-based practice: The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, written by Latisha Guthrie with artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert. This deck doesn’t just show you plants, it invites you into a whole world of herb-craft, kitchen witchery, and ancestral plant relationships.
My Story with This Deck
This deck has been on my radar for a long time.
Back in Season 11: Tarot and Plant Allies, I didn’t yet own a botanical tarot deck. I was constantly looking up plant correspondences online, and the Herbcrafter’s Tarot kept popping up in my research. I found myself returning to its imagery over and over as I prepared those episodes.
I’d been searching for a plant-based tarot deck for years, but most of the ones I found either didn’t name the plants clearly or didn’t quite click with how I like to work. After leaning so heavily on Herbcrafter’s imagery for that season, I finally took the hint and bought the deck as a gift to myself.
Style:
This is a traditional tarot deck, but translated through an herbalist’s worldview. The vibe feels like standing in a kitchen with herbs hanging from the rafters, tea simmering, and baskets piled with plants from the garden.
Structure:
The Herbcrafter’s Tarot follows the Rider–Waite–Smith structure in terms of card count, but it reimagines the suits and court cards through an herbal lens.
Instead of the traditional suit names, the deck uses the elements:
Air (Swords)
Fire (Wands)
Water (Cups)
Earth (Pentacles)
The guidebook also adds an extra layer that makes this deck feel like a full practice: each card has a short mantra-style line, an image description, a message, and crafting suggestions—ways to actually work with the plant through syrup, oxymel, jelly, teas, bath blends, or other forms of herb-craft.
Imagery:
The imagery is one of my favorite parts of this deck, because it doesn’t just show a plant floating in space. Sometimes the plant is wild in its natural environment. Sometimes it’s been harvested and laid out beside jars, spoons, bowls, candles, or baskets. Sometimes it’s shown as food or medicine. Every card gives you options for how to actually work with the plant—something you can make, infuse, steep, craft, or ritualize.
What I use it for:
I reach for this deck when:
plant ally work and earth-based spiritual practice
readings that focus on healing, nourishment, and slow transformation
situations where I want the next step to be tangible (something I can craft, brew, cook, or tend)
learning herbs through tarot, or learning tarot through herbs
ritual-based reflection—pulling a card and letting it become a week-long practice
What I don’t use it for:
I don’t reach for this deck when:
someone wants classic Rider–Waite–Smith imagery with people and familiar tarot scenes
a querent wants something very “straightforward tarot” without botanical symbolism
someone feels disconnected from plants, cooking, crafting, or nature-based metaphor
someone is from a context where these plants feel unfamiliar, and they want symbolism that’s more culturally immediate for them
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, I pulled the Six of Fire Nasturtium (Reversed).
Let yourself celebrate what you’ve done. Let your people celebrate you, too. Call the circle. Gather the joy. Let it count.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What have I done this year that I’m minimizing or skipping over too quickly?
Where am I craving celebration, but waiting for “perfect” before I let myself have it?
Who are my people right now, and what kind of circle do I want to build or return to in 2026?

Tarot, in addition to the imagesof the cards I pull on each
episode. All right, welcome to season 19
where I'm talking all about different decks and how to use
them. If you have haven't listened to
my other seasons yet, you can check those out.
And today I'm talking about the Herb Crafters Tarot.
(02:35):
This is artwork by Joanna PowellKobart and written by Letitia
Guthrie. It is a tarot duck and goes with
the traditional Rider Waite Smith style for the most part
with this duck. So it does have the 78 cards.
It is all herbs or plants. So, you know, you don't have
(02:58):
your traditional kind of like people necessarily in the cards.
And instead of speaking about the suits in terms of cops,
swords, wands or pentacles, theyjust talk about the elements.
So they have water, fire, earth and air, right?
(03:26):
Yeah, that's all of them. So that is 1 difference.
What else here? I'm trying to remember where I
got this deck. I think, OK, so I did a season
on, I'm looking back at my thingon Tarot Implant Allies season
(03:46):
11. And as I did that, I actually
don't have a botanical deck or Ididn't at the time of any kind.
So I was using a lot of deck images online.
And I actually ended up using images from this deck for maybe
like half the episodes because Iwould look up the plant
associations with different tarot cards.
And this was always coming up. And I've been looking for a
(04:08):
botanical deck probably for likemultiple years at this point.
And I would find them. And I just, I didn't love any of
them. I tried buying a deck in the
past that I thought would be good for plant wise, and I
didn't enjoy it as much. It doesn't have the names of the
plants, which is very important to me.
(04:28):
So yeah, after that season, I was like, all right, I'm going
to treat myself and give myself another deck.
And that is how I ended up with this deck.
So it was one that I was fairly familiar with from doing that
season. It's beautiful.
I love it because it is such a it's it's plants, but it's also
(04:51):
kind of like witchy crafting. That's why it's called herb
crafting. It has beautiful images, like
painted images of the plants anda lot of like the energetic
components of them. So what do I mean by say that
like it doesn't just show the plant.
Sometimes it shows it in a garden or like once you've
harvested some of it. I'm just looking at some of the
(05:14):
cards here. So like Nettle, it shows it like
in the woods for BlackBerry here, which is for the devil, it
shows like a BlackBerry pie and a cast iron.
You see some different, like it looks like maybe like some
cinnamon herbs spilled out. We see like a bowl of
(05:35):
blackberries. We see the leaves and each of
the cards, if you use the duck guidebook, has the name of the
card, the plant, the Latin name for the plant, a sort of short
description. Or let me see what it says in
the beginning about the what exactly it says.
(06:02):
I was going to say it's a short description, but it's almost
like a saying or like a like a mantra related to the plant.
Yeah. So in the front here of the
Tarot deck guidebook, it says inthe Major Arcana we follow an
(06:26):
herb crafter's journey as she meets the wilderness and learns
to cultivate a garden for herself and one for the world.
The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards representing the suit of
spirit, which is often considered the sort of fifth
element. So the Minor Arcana, of course,
has the traditional 56 cards into four suits.
(06:47):
The suits have been changed, like I said.
So swords becomes air, wands becomes fire, cups become water,
and pentacles become earth. It says the tools of the herb
crafter are bow lines in the suit of air, mortars and pestles
in the suit of fire, kettles in the suit of water, and baskets
in the suit of earth. The suits also represent skills
acquired on the herb crafter's journey.
(07:09):
So learning is associated with air, creating associated with
fire, nourishing water and giving earth.
The Minor Arcana cards show the everyday activities of the herb
crafter. She stands outside the frame
with. We experience her life from the
plants perspective. We find her walking in nature,
growing a cultivated garden, crafting medicine with fire and
(07:30):
water, or creating legacy tools for the future.
And it says we chose the herbs for each two according to how
their medicine is acquired. The suit of Air honors the
medicine that comes from noticing, observing the plants
as they are. Air cards show tall sword like
plants outside. The suit of fire celebrates the
(07:51):
alchemy of herb craft. Fire cards show busy scenes
making tinctures and potions. The suit of water emphasizes
water based medicines. Water cards show baths and Tees.
And the Suit of earth features plants that are used to make
legacy tools. Earth cards show baskets and
fiber arts. I don't think I've ever read
(08:13):
this before, so I'm learning a lot from this.
Yeah. So it says the herbs for each
number in the minor arcana, like, you know, suit parts
accord is we chose the herbs foreach number according to how
they contribute to the ecosystem.
So number one is Dory yard herbsand weeds, 2 are plants that
(08:38):
attract pollinators or feed animal friends.
Three are plants that are easy to grow. 4 are for borders and
hedges. 5 are plants that are listed as endangered or
threatened by United United Plant Savers, which is a great
organization and website to go to if you ever want to find
really good information about endangered or threatened plants.
(09:00):
6 is for abundantly producing plants, 7 for ancient trees.
So like I have one in front of me.
The chariot is represented as cedar, 8 is for root medicine
plants, 9 is for fruit trees, and 10 are for cover crops and
composting plants. And it says the 16 People cards
(09:20):
are inspired by the legacy of women healers throughout
history. The titles of people's cards are
changed from traditional court card names to represent the
archetypes each woman embodies as she matures into her craft,
from wanderer to warrior to midwife to teacher.
So pages become ehas or daughters, Knights become
(09:41):
adelitas or warriors, Queens become madres or mothers, and
kings become quranderas or heal like fairy godmothers.
They give, they each offer a gift to the herb crafter in the
form of a virtue. Ehas give playfulness, adelitas
give activism, madres give love,and kurandanas give wisdom.
(10:03):
And the people cards feature thehands of the herb crafter, which
is very cool. So a lot of the cards you just
see the plants are like they said, sort of the plants in
their natural environment or in like how you would craft with
them. But the like here's a Coranda of
Air card, we see a hand reachingout and holding Rosemary.
(10:25):
So it brings a little bit more of like the personhood into the
card. And it says, as cultural
anthropologist Angelise Adrian writes, hands were humans first
tools. Hands give.
Hands receive. Your ancestors live in your
hands. Hands are symbols of initiation.
(10:46):
They have the power to love, create, move and change.
They are associated with giving,receiving and serving.
They teach us about reciprocity.Hands bridge the profane and
sacred worlds. All right.
And this deck, like I said, was created written by Leticia
Guthrie and the artwork is done by Joanna Paul Colbert from
(11:10):
Bellingham, WA and created in the spring equinox of 2018.
So they worked together to create this deck which is very
cool and are fairly local to me.They also have another deck of
the Guyan Tarot, which is JoannaGuthrie, No Joanna Paula
(11:34):
Colberts first deck. And this deck came after that.
And they expand on her philosophy while focusing on
botanicals. And they highlight plants found
in the spaces that the two of them call home, which are the
Pacific Northwest and the Sonoran Desert.
So 2 very different plant locations as well.
(11:58):
And it says we place a light emphasis on the traditions of
Letitia's Mexican American heritage as well as the Celtic
heritage that we share. So hence some of the the people
names at the end, which are in Spanish and they and with each
card, so I was trying to talk about this earlier and I got
(12:21):
sidetracked, but with each card it says, so it's the name of the
card 9 of Fire Wild Cherry. Then we have Prunus Serotina or
Prunus Virginiana, which are like the Latin names.
Then it says radiant power, humble spirit, sweeten work with
play, Satisfaction flourishes when you stay the course.
So this is what I mean by it's kind of like a sane or a mantra.
(12:44):
Then it talks. The first paragraph is about
what the card depicts. So here it says at Lamas altar
honoring the first harvest is displayed on a mantle.
Yarrow, lavender, sage and mint hang above the fire.
Water boils on the wood stove. Branches of wild cherry lie on
the crafting table with a mortarand pestle, rose hips, honey
(13:06):
jars, spoons and ladles. And then it goes into the
message and then at the bottom, and this is in the tarot deck
guidebook it shares about crafting with that card.
So there's three different things for every card.
So for this one, for example, the nine of fire, which is wild
cherry, it says make wild cherrysyrup for a home apocalyptic
(13:27):
carry, add it to warm to cider and toast to your power.
You can play with cherry blossoms, so craft a flower and
lick surface strength and Stanima.
Or you can craft a wild cherry Jelly in the heat of summer and
let it satisfy, buy your taste buds during winter.
So that is the kind of crafting aspect of the cards there.
(13:51):
So it's not just plants, it's more like herbalism or herb
crafting as it is so named for this deck.
Yeah, let's move on. So the style of the deck, I
bought this deck on line. You can get it from
(14:11):
leticiaguthrie.com/herbigraftersTarot, her website, she has a
link to it there. And you buy it from US Games
Incorporated, which has a lot ofdifferent playing cards and
games and also tarot and inspiration.
So tarot Oracle books about tarot affirmation decks,
(14:32):
specific organizations that print like Lenormand and Kipper
that print a lot of witchy materials or Pamela Coleman
Smith who was the original artist of the writer.
Wait, Smith deck books, gift ideas, other things.
So they have a whole section on their website of tarot and
(14:55):
inspiration on US game system. So that is where I got it and I
highly recommend it if you are aplant herbalist witchy person at
all. It's very beautiful.
I love the style of the deck. OK, what else?
(15:15):
Imagery. So on the back of each card we
have, it reminds me of those like I spy books from that you
would have like as a kid or those like pages where it's like
a mint green background. And then we just have kind of
like a a smattering of differentherb crafting things.
So there's like a root I see like a a branch.
(15:37):
There's like lavender buds, there's candles, there's
butterflies, there's leaves, there's berries, there's acorns,
citrus, like a damiana flower, rose hips and roses, Peppers.
(15:59):
So kind of probably representingevery plant that it's in deck or
close to. And then on the other side, we
have our, this has a white border.
We have the also written out, sonot in Roman numerals, the three
of earth, which is Raspberry, the two of fire, which is B
(16:20):
balm, and then an image that, like they said, is sort of
different for each number and each suit as to how they
incorporate the plant into the image.
But like here we have the Kurandara of water, which is
seaweed and it depicts like a person.
You can see their hand pouring, like, water from a tea kettle
into a bath that's full of probably seaweed and other
(16:44):
greens and flowers. And we see like a candle, like
an altar. We see house plants and candles.
And we actually see like an ocean in the background or a
body of water. So it like, it's a whole vibe.
And this is like how you can work with the plants.
Yeah. OK.
What do I like to use it for? I would use this just like any
(17:06):
traditional tarot deck. Again, it has your traditional
78 cards definitely use it if you're interested in any sort of
herb crafting or if you want sort of like plant spirits to
work with. Like I said, like I did a whole
season on tarot and plant allies.
So if you're interested in like what that means and what I'm
talking about, you'll you'll geta lot of references to this deck
(17:30):
an imagery and you can look at their website too, where a lot
of that's pulled from. But yeah, plants, I believe have
their own energies and like spirits basically.
And so this deck is like a very cool way to get to know some of
those other than going outside and seeing the plants in real
(17:51):
life. And it gives you lots of ideas
for crafting almost like a ritual right at the end of each
card. Some decks do that.
So like like some other decks I've talked about, like if you
just had this deck, that could be your entire witch practice.
It could be you pull a card, youyou learn about the plant, you
get to know it, you get some crafting ideas, you go work with
(18:13):
the plant, right? A lot of these are like
herbalism. So like herb crafting, things
where you make an elixir or you infuse things into a syrup, or
like things that take time and effort and energy, and also
having access to the plants, it's very fun.
There's a wide variety of plantsin here.
(18:34):
Again, some that are cultivated,some that you can often find in
local parks or things like that.Check out your foraging
information and what's availableto you in your area.
And also a lot of like parks, state parks, you can forage in
(18:56):
them. Just look up the rules.
Usually it's just a certain amount of material, usually at a
certain time of year. But that is a very cool way to
do it if you don't have, you know, your own land or plants
you have access to. Of course, some of these plants
can be cultivated, but not all of them, or at least they may
require a lot of effort or expense, or they might grow
(19:21):
indoors or in a different tropical environment or that
kind of thing. But yeah, this is a great duck
to kind of get to know plant spirits and plant allies through
and their relation to the tarot.I'm trying to think if there's
anything else in particular I use it for.
I do feel like it's a pretty approachable duck because just
(19:42):
like the Anima Mundi tarot deck,which has a lot of animals in
it, I feel like maybe less people, but certainly like a
witchy people are maybe know some of these things about
plants already. Or you know, a lot of us have
like eaten raspberries or smelled lavender or I'm just
(20:03):
looking at some of the other ones I pulled Raspberry.
They've seen a Cottonwood tree in the leaves or you've seen.
Nope, that's more rare one. Let's see apples, like that's in
here, right? Most of us have worked with
apples. We've eaten apples, we've had
apple cider, we've had apple pie.
(20:24):
We've used apples and a salad. We've, you know, grated apples.
We've made apples into art, we make apple chips, right?
Like you can pretty much do thatwith all of these things.
There are just some that depending on your location and
culture, like you might be more familiar with and what's
available to you as well. All right, So yeah, anything I
(20:46):
wouldn't use it for, I guess if someone was, again, I'm
particularly looking for like people cards or wanted
traditional tarot imagery, right?
You're not necessarily going to get that through this deck.
If someone was maybe just reallynot at all familiar with plants
and maybe doesn't have an interest or doesn't cook or
(21:08):
other things like that, to me that seems hard to imagine.
But there are definitely people that do that and it just might
not be like their priority or that interesting of a deck for
them. It's I think it's a great way to
learn. So you could use it for learning
as well, which is very cool. But yeah, might not be as like
(21:31):
enticing in that sense. Yeah.
It doesn't necessarily have the traditional tarot like symbols
like the writer. Wait, Smith Deck does where you
see certain like, imagery like lobsters and sunshine and trying
to think of other obscure ones. Yeah.
It doesn't have the traditional suit imagery either of swords or
(21:53):
wands or things like that. It's, you know, translated
basically into how it works for this, I guess.
What else would I not use it for?
I guess like it is sort of like they shared, it's kind of like
there's Mexican American culture, there's both Sonoran
(22:15):
Desert and Pacific Northwest plants.
So if someone didn't live in those locations or in particular
didn't live in the US or Mexico or North America, they just
might be very unfamiliar with a lot of these plants or just have
different cultural ties to plants and how to work with
them. Some of those things are similar
(22:37):
across cultures, but some are not.
If you listen to my colour Magicseason, season 18, I talk about
that, that some colours mean really good things in one
culture and really bad in the other, or they're associated
with power in one and the devil with the other.
So it just kind of depends on, again, like where you live and
(22:58):
your cultural background and experience.
Yeah, I think think that's all I'll have to say on that.
I'm going to go ahead shuffle, see what message the deck has
for us today. These decks are tall.
I would say they're pretty similar to the what I would say
(23:23):
is the sort of like average ducksize of a tarot deck, You know,
basically twice as tall as they are wide.
You know about it has a fairly large guidebook.
It's pretty much one plant per page.
So it's not very long, but there's still a lot of
information in there and it talks about a lot of crafting
(23:43):
activities. There are spreads in the back.
Like I said, there's a lot of pretty long introduction in the
beginning about how to use the deck and everything that they
sort of use their own symbolism for.
And it talks all about the different crafting activities,
like what is a flower essence, what is an oxmel, what is
kombucha? Because those are a lot of
(24:05):
things that they reference in the deck.
And then it also talks about thecreators.
And the artwork is done in Prismacolor, colored pencils and
a photo realistic style. The two authors work together to
brainstorm the imagery. Then they took photos and kind
of staged the photos and then they took the photos into
(24:25):
digital editing and adjusted it there and added some different
things. And so there's sort of a
combination of different artistic styles, but it's sort
of, yeah, looks like it could have been hand drawn originally
or different things with, I can imagine the colored pencils.
And then it is. But it's also kind of mixed with
(24:45):
the imagery of like if you took a photo of the altar or the herb
crafting you were doing, which Ithink is very cool.
Again, like it has a lot of I don't know, I just I love herb
crafting, so this deck makes a lot of sense to me.
But I think also herb crafting is like a very cool way to get
(25:08):
to know your local landscape andplants and be more connected to
nature and where you live. I'm sorry if my shuffling was
very loud. All right, what message does the
duck have for us today? OK, I pulled Nasturtium 6 of
(25:32):
fire. Oh, I guess this is one other
thing about this deck. It does not really have
reversals, or at least there's no descriptions for it in the
Tarot Duck guide book. It sort of makes sense to me
'cause I'm like, if often reversals are seen as like the
opposite, are you having a challenge?
Which could still be true, but it's hard to imagine like what
the opposite of a plant is in that sense.
(25:56):
So the other thing I guess is that this deck is organized
instead of like Ace through 10 page Jack, no Page Knight Queen,
king of one suit. And then it moves on to the next
one in the deck organization. Like in the Taroga deck guide
book, it does all the fives together, all the sixes
(26:18):
together, all the sevens together.
So in some ways that's kind of nice because like here I have a
six of fire. So I know I go to the sixes
section and then I find the one for fire and nasturtium.
But that is just different than a lot of other pteroducks that I
use where they mostly go by suit.
All right, so the six of fire, nasturtium, I love nasturtium as
(26:41):
a plant. I've grown a lot in the garden.
It's a really good trap plant, which means it if you plant it
near things that you don't want to be bug eaten or bug ridden.
Nasturtium attracts a lot of different I guess maybe not
attracts but basically it's a trap plant and that like if you
put it near plants that you don't want to get eaten, bugs
(27:03):
are more attracted to the nasturtium plant.
So often when I have had nasturtium near other plants in
my raised garden beds, they literally get covered like in a
horrifying horror movie kind of way with bugs.
Also every part of nasturtium isedible to humans and probably
(27:25):
also to bugs. Probably why it's a good trap
plant. You can use the flowers, they're
really pretty edible. They come in different kind of
like iterations. They're oranges or Reds or
yellows. You can eat the leaves.
They're sort of like the taste of a radish that's like a
little, it's like watery and like a little spicy, if you know
(27:47):
what I mean. Like it has like a like a bite
to it. You can use them like cook them
down or use them as kind of likesalad greens.
They're they're like some very circular, which is kind of cool.
They look almost like like pond lilies, like the like, what are
they called? Yeah, like water, really like
(28:08):
pads. They kind of look like that.
And often they are climbing or trailing.
So they'll sort of like, if you have them again in a garden bed,
they'll sort of like weave throughout different plants.
They sometimes can cling on to things slightly, but very pretty
anyway. OK, Nasturtium 6 of Fire
(28:29):
Tropolaeum species. Celebrate yourself and others.
Call the circle. Make some magic, glitter and
spice. Magnify power and joy.
A table is set for making spellswith French.
Large beeswax pillars wait to beadorned.
Red and gold glitter spills ontothe table.
Nesertian flowers Crimson, orange and yellow pepper the
(28:50):
table. A candle is lit in the center of
the holy mess to mark the beginning of sacred time.
Raise a little power for healingand transformation.
Cheer on your friends and praisetheir accomplishments as they do
for you. Drawing bees and nourishing
soil, wildly growing, nasturtiumis a vibrant plant that brings
life to the garden. Your ability to bring people
(29:11):
together creates magic. Claim your place as a community
leader. Gather circles.
Creativity ignites creativity. Nasturtium blooms in many
colors. Let your personal flare shine.
Dance to your own beat while dancing in harmony with others.
Nasturtium vinegar adds flavor with a kick.
Celebrate your accomplishments with pizzazz.
So if you want to craft with nasturtium or the Six of Fire,
(29:34):
you can add an assertium petals to spell candles to increase
their energy and strength. You can make assert some Oxmel
spritzers to toast your accomplishments and you can
magnify joy at your next gathering.
Serve goat cheese mixed with assertion petals and leaves.
Yeah, they are really good for making like either putting them
in salads that's like an edible flour or yeah, adding them to,
(29:57):
you can add them to like buttersor cheeses where you make them,
like herbed or very pretty if you've ever seen ones where they
like press flowers into it. I was just going to quickly
share with you what the definition of an ox smell is.
So fill a jar 2/3 of the way full with plant material.
Then you fill the jar halfway with vinegar and you add honey
(30:19):
until the jar is full. Stir to ensure that all plants
are submerged and liquid. Cover with a clear lid and
infuse for a full moon cycle or more so you know, about a month
strain if desired and enjoy. So that's what an ox smell is.
So it says you can make one withthe sturtium, make Oxmelt
sportzers, which is fascinating.So you could, I guess once you
(30:42):
make it and strain it, then you could add it to a drink and with
some bubble water or other things to as a, as a toast to
your accomplishments. Because this is all about
celebration. So I did pull this card in
reverse. So perhaps maybe there are
things that you're having a hardtime celebrating right now, or
maybe you really need, right? Often at the end of the year,
(31:05):
there's a feeling of like, I'm exhausted.
What did I even do this year? And so sometimes just reflecting
back on it, thinking about all the things you've done, the
people you've brought together, the things that went really
well, your achievements and accomplishments, even if maybe
you didn't do all the things youwanted to do, right.
Often if we look back at that list, it's like, wow, actually,
(31:25):
yeah, I did a lot of things. So I think that's the rest of
the energy, too. And maybe this is something you
want to call in for 2026, right?Celebration, community, creating
circles with other folks you know, being yourself, letting
your personality flare shine, asthis card says.
But also right, doing that with other people, letting, letting
(31:49):
yourself be known by others, letting others celebrate you as
well. So that is very fun.
All right, well, again, that wasthe Herb Crafters Tarot artwork

Tarot, in addition to the imagesof the cards I pull on each
episode. All right, welcome to season 19
where I'm talking all about different decks and how to use
them. If you have haven't listened to
my other seasons yet, you can check those out.
And today I'm talking about the Herb Crafters Tarot.
(02:35):
This is artwork by Joanna PowellKobart and written by Letitia
Guthrie. It is a tarot duck and goes with
the traditional Rider Waite Smith style for the most part
with this duck. So it does have the 78 cards.
It is all herbs or plants. So, you know, you don't have
(02:58):
your traditional kind of like people necessarily in the cards.
And instead of speaking about the suits in terms of cops,
swords, wands or pentacles, theyjust talk about the elements.
So they have water, fire, earth and air, right?
(03:26):
Yeah, that's all of them. So that is 1 difference.
What else here? I'm trying to remember where I
got this deck. I think, OK, so I did a season
on, I'm looking back at my thingon Tarot Implant Allies season
(03:46):
11. And as I did that, I actually
don't have a botanical deck or Ididn't at the time of any kind.
So I was using a lot of deck images online.
And I actually ended up using images from this deck for maybe
like half the episodes because Iwould look up the plant
associations with different tarot cards.
And this was always coming up. And I've been looking for a
(04:08):
botanical deck probably for likemultiple years at this point.
And I would find them. And I just, I didn't love any of
them. I tried buying a deck in the
past that I thought would be good for plant wise, and I
didn't enjoy it as much. It doesn't have the names of the
plants, which is very important to me.
(04:28):
So yeah, after that season, I was like, all right, I'm going
to treat myself and give myself another deck.
And that is how I ended up with this deck.
So it was one that I was fairly familiar with from doing that
season. It's beautiful.
I love it because it is such a it's it's plants, but it's also
(04:51):
kind of like witchy crafting. That's why it's called herb
crafting. It has beautiful images, like
painted images of the plants anda lot of like the energetic
components of them. So what do I mean by say that
like it doesn't just show the plant.
Sometimes it shows it in a garden or like once you've
harvested some of it. I'm just looking at some of the
(05:14):
cards here. So like Nettle, it shows it like
in the woods for BlackBerry here, which is for the devil, it
shows like a BlackBerry pie and a cast iron.
You see some different, like it looks like maybe like some
cinnamon herbs spilled out. We see like a bowl of
(05:35):
blackberries. We see the leaves and each of
the cards, if you use the duck guidebook, has the name of the
card, the plant, the Latin name for the plant, a sort of short
description. Or let me see what it says in
the beginning about the what exactly it says.
(06:02):
I was going to say it's a short description, but it's almost
like a saying or like a like a mantra related to the plant.
Yeah. So in the front here of the
Tarot deck guidebook, it says inthe Major Arcana we follow an
(06:26):
herb crafter's journey as she meets the wilderness and learns
to cultivate a garden for herself and one for the world.
The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards representing the suit of
spirit, which is often considered the sort of fifth
element. So the Minor Arcana, of course,
has the traditional 56 cards into four suits.
(06:47):
The suits have been changed, like I said.
So swords becomes air, wands becomes fire, cups become water,
and pentacles become earth. It says the tools of the herb
crafter are bow lines in the suit of air, mortars and pestles
in the suit of fire, kettles in the suit of water, and baskets
in the suit of earth. The suits also represent skills
acquired on the herb crafter's journey.
(07:09):
So learning is associated with air, creating associated with
fire, nourishing water and giving earth.
The Minor Arcana cards show the everyday activities of the herb
crafter. She stands outside the frame
with. We experience her life from the
plants perspective. We find her walking in nature,
growing a cultivated garden, crafting medicine with fire and
(07:30):
water, or creating legacy tools for the future.
And it says we chose the herbs for each two according to how
their medicine is acquired. The suit of Air honors the
medicine that comes from noticing, observing the plants
as they are. Air cards show tall sword like
plants outside. The suit of fire celebrates the
(07:51):
alchemy of herb craft. Fire cards show busy scenes
making tinctures and potions. The suit of water emphasizes
water based medicines. Water cards show baths and Tees.
And the Suit of earth features plants that are used to make
legacy tools. Earth cards show baskets and
fiber arts. I don't think I've ever read
(08:13):
this before, so I'm learning a lot from this.
Yeah. So it says the herbs for each
number in the minor arcana, like, you know, suit parts
accord is we chose the herbs foreach number according to how
they contribute to the ecosystem.
So number one is Dory yard herbsand weeds, 2 are plants that
(08:38):
attract pollinators or feed animal friends.
Three are plants that are easy to grow. 4 are for borders and
hedges. 5 are plants that are listed as endangered or
threatened by United United Plant Savers, which is a great
organization and website to go to if you ever want to find
really good information about endangered or threatened plants.
(09:00):
6 is for abundantly producing plants, 7 for ancient trees.
So like I have one in front of me.
The chariot is represented as cedar, 8 is for root medicine
plants, 9 is for fruit trees, and 10 are for cover crops and
composting plants. And it says the 16 People cards
(09:20):
are inspired by the legacy of women healers throughout
history. The titles of people's cards are
changed from traditional court card names to represent the
archetypes each woman embodies as she matures into her craft,
from wanderer to warrior to midwife to teacher.
So pages become ehas or daughters, Knights become
(09:41):
adelitas or warriors, Queens become madres or mothers, and
kings become quranderas or heal like fairy godmothers.
They give, they each offer a gift to the herb crafter in the
form of a virtue. Ehas give playfulness, adelitas
give activism, madres give love,and kurandanas give wisdom.
(10:03):
And the people cards feature thehands of the herb crafter, which
is very cool. So a lot of the cards you just
see the plants are like they said, sort of the plants in
their natural environment or in like how you would craft with
them. But the like here's a Coranda of
Air card, we see a hand reachingout and holding Rosemary.
(10:25):
So it brings a little bit more of like the personhood into the
card. And it says, as cultural
anthropologist Angelise Adrian writes, hands were humans first
tools. Hands give.
Hands receive. Your ancestors live in your
hands. Hands are symbols of initiation.
(10:46):
They have the power to love, create, move and change.
They are associated with giving,receiving and serving.
They teach us about reciprocity.Hands bridge the profane and
sacred worlds. All right.
And this deck, like I said, was created written by Leticia
Guthrie and the artwork is done by Joanna Paul Colbert from
(11:10):
Bellingham, WA and created in the spring equinox of 2018.
So they worked together to create this deck which is very
cool and are fairly local to me.They also have another deck of
the Guyan Tarot, which is JoannaGuthrie, No Joanna Paula
(11:34):
Colberts first deck. And this deck came after that.
And they expand on her philosophy while focusing on
botanicals. And they highlight plants found
in the spaces that the two of them call home, which are the
Pacific Northwest and the Sonoran Desert.
So 2 very different plant locations as well.
(11:58):
And it says we place a light emphasis on the traditions of
Letitia's Mexican American heritage as well as the Celtic
heritage that we share. So hence some of the the people
names at the end, which are in Spanish and they and with each
card, so I was trying to talk about this earlier and I got
(12:21):
sidetracked, but with each card it says, so it's the name of the
card 9 of Fire Wild Cherry. Then we have Prunus Serotina or
Prunus Virginiana, which are like the Latin names.
Then it says radiant power, humble spirit, sweeten work with
play, Satisfaction flourishes when you stay the course.
So this is what I mean by it's kind of like a sane or a mantra.
(12:44):
Then it talks. The first paragraph is about
what the card depicts. So here it says at Lamas altar
honoring the first harvest is displayed on a mantle.
Yarrow, lavender, sage and mint hang above the fire.
Water boils on the wood stove. Branches of wild cherry lie on
the crafting table with a mortarand pestle, rose hips, honey
(13:06):
jars, spoons and ladles. And then it goes into the
message and then at the bottom, and this is in the tarot deck
guidebook it shares about crafting with that card.
So there's three different things for every card.
So for this one, for example, the nine of fire, which is wild
cherry, it says make wild cherrysyrup for a home apocalyptic
(13:27):
carry, add it to warm to cider and toast to your power.
You can play with cherry blossoms, so craft a flower and
lick surface strength and Stanima.
Or you can craft a wild cherry Jelly in the heat of summer and
let it satisfy, buy your taste buds during winter.
So that is the kind of crafting aspect of the cards there.
(13:51):
So it's not just plants, it's more like herbalism or herb
crafting as it is so named for this deck.
Yeah, let's move on. So the style of the deck, I
bought this deck on line. You can get it from
(14:11):
leticiaguthrie.com/herbigraftersTarot, her website, she has a
link to it there. And you buy it from US Games
Incorporated, which has a lot ofdifferent playing cards and
games and also tarot and inspiration.
So tarot Oracle books about tarot affirmation decks,
(14:32):
specific organizations that print like Lenormand and Kipper
that print a lot of witchy materials or Pamela Coleman
Smith who was the original artist of the writer.
Wait, Smith deck books, gift ideas, other things.
So they have a whole section on their website of tarot and
(14:55):
inspiration on US game system. So that is where I got it and I
highly recommend it if you are aplant herbalist witchy person at
all. It's very beautiful.
I love the style of the deck. OK, what else?
(15:15):
Imagery. So on the back of each card we
have, it reminds me of those like I spy books from that you
would have like as a kid or those like pages where it's like
a mint green background. And then we just have kind of
like a a smattering of differentherb crafting things.
So there's like a root I see like a a branch.
(15:37):
There's like lavender buds, there's candles, there's
butterflies, there's leaves, there's berries, there's acorns,
citrus, like a damiana flower, rose hips and roses, Peppers.
(15:59):
So kind of probably representingevery plant that it's in deck or
close to. And then on the other side, we
have our, this has a white border.
We have the also written out, sonot in Roman numerals, the three
of earth, which is Raspberry, the two of fire, which is B
(16:20):
balm, and then an image that, like they said, is sort of
different for each number and each suit as to how they
incorporate the plant into the image.
But like here we have the Kurandara of water, which is
seaweed and it depicts like a person.
You can see their hand pouring, like, water from a tea kettle
into a bath that's full of probably seaweed and other
(16:44):
greens and flowers. And we see like a candle, like
an altar. We see house plants and candles.
And we actually see like an ocean in the background or a
body of water. So it like, it's a whole vibe.
And this is like how you can work with the plants.
Yeah. OK.
What do I like to use it for? I would use this just like any
(17:06):
traditional tarot deck. Again, it has your traditional
78 cards definitely use it if you're interested in any sort of
herb crafting or if you want sort of like plant spirits to
work with. Like I said, like I did a whole
season on tarot and plant allies.
So if you're interested in like what that means and what I'm
talking about, you'll you'll geta lot of references to this deck
(17:30):
an imagery and you can look at their website too, where a lot
of that's pulled from. But yeah, plants, I believe have
their own energies and like spirits basically.
And so this deck is like a very cool way to get to know some of
those other than going outside and seeing the plants in real
(17:51):
life. And it gives you lots of ideas
for crafting almost like a ritual right at the end of each
card. Some decks do that.
So like like some other decks I've talked about, like if you
just had this deck, that could be your entire witch practice.
It could be you pull a card, youyou learn about the plant, you
get to know it, you get some crafting ideas, you go work with
(18:13):
the plant, right? A lot of these are like
herbalism. So like herb crafting, things
where you make an elixir or you infuse things into a syrup, or
like things that take time and effort and energy, and also
having access to the plants, it's very fun.
There's a wide variety of plantsin here.
(18:34):
Again, some that are cultivated,some that you can often find in
local parks or things like that.Check out your foraging
information and what's availableto you in your area.
And also a lot of like parks, state parks, you can forage in
(18:56):
them. Just look up the rules.
Usually it's just a certain amount of material, usually at a
certain time of year. But that is a very cool way to
do it if you don't have, you know, your own land or plants
you have access to. Of course, some of these plants
can be cultivated, but not all of them, or at least they may
require a lot of effort or expense, or they might grow
(19:21):
indoors or in a different tropical environment or that
kind of thing. But yeah, this is a great duck
to kind of get to know plant spirits and plant allies through
and their relation to the tarot.I'm trying to think if there's
anything else in particular I use it for.
I do feel like it's a pretty approachable duck because just
(19:42):
like the Anima Mundi tarot deck,which has a lot of animals in
it, I feel like maybe less people, but certainly like a
witchy people are maybe know some of these things about
plants already. Or you know, a lot of us have
like eaten raspberries or smelled lavender or I'm just
(20:03):
looking at some of the other ones I pulled Raspberry.
They've seen a Cottonwood tree in the leaves or you've seen.
Nope, that's more rare one. Let's see apples, like that's in
here, right? Most of us have worked with
apples. We've eaten apples, we've had
apple cider, we've had apple pie.
(20:24):
We've used apples and a salad. We've, you know, grated apples.
We've made apples into art, we make apple chips, right?
Like you can pretty much do thatwith all of these things.
There are just some that depending on your location and
culture, like you might be more familiar with and what's
available to you as well. All right, So yeah, anything I
(20:46):
wouldn't use it for, I guess if someone was, again, I'm
particularly looking for like people cards or wanted
traditional tarot imagery, right?
You're not necessarily going to get that through this deck.
If someone was maybe just reallynot at all familiar with plants
and maybe doesn't have an interest or doesn't cook or
(21:08):
other things like that, to me that seems hard to imagine.
But there are definitely people that do that and it just might
not be like their priority or that interesting of a deck for
them. It's I think it's a great way to
learn. So you could use it for learning
as well, which is very cool. But yeah, might not be as like
(21:31):
enticing in that sense. Yeah.
It doesn't necessarily have the traditional tarot like symbols
like the writer. Wait, Smith Deck does where you
see certain like, imagery like lobsters and sunshine and trying
to think of other obscure ones. Yeah.
It doesn't have the traditional suit imagery either of swords or
(21:53):
wands or things like that. It's, you know, translated
basically into how it works for this, I guess.
What else would I not use it for?
I guess like it is sort of like they shared, it's kind of like
there's Mexican American culture, there's both Sonoran
(22:15):
Desert and Pacific Northwest plants.
So if someone didn't live in those locations or in particular
didn't live in the US or Mexico or North America, they just
might be very unfamiliar with a lot of these plants or just have
different cultural ties to plants and how to work with
them. Some of those things are similar
(22:37):
across cultures, but some are not.
If you listen to my colour Magicseason, season 18, I talk about
that, that some colours mean really good things in one
culture and really bad in the other, or they're associated
with power in one and the devil with the other.
So it just kind of depends on, again, like where you live and
(22:58):
your cultural background and experience.
Yeah, I think think that's all I'll have to say on that.
I'm going to go ahead shuffle, see what message the deck has
for us today. These decks are tall.
I would say they're pretty similar to the what I would say
(23:23):
is the sort of like average ducksize of a tarot deck, You know,
basically twice as tall as they are wide.
You know about it has a fairly large guidebook.
It's pretty much one plant per page.
So it's not very long, but there's still a lot of
information in there and it talks about a lot of crafting
(23:43):
activities. There are spreads in the back.
Like I said, there's a lot of pretty long introduction in the
beginning about how to use the deck and everything that they
sort of use their own symbolism for.
And it talks all about the different crafting activities,
like what is a flower essence, what is an oxmel, what is
kombucha? Because those are a lot of
(24:05):
things that they reference in the deck.
And then it also talks about thecreators.
And the artwork is done in Prismacolor, colored pencils and
a photo realistic style. The two authors work together to
brainstorm the imagery. Then they took photos and kind
of staged the photos and then they took the photos into
(24:25):
digital editing and adjusted it there and added some different
things. And so there's sort of a
combination of different artistic styles, but it's sort
of, yeah, looks like it could have been hand drawn originally
or different things with, I can imagine the colored pencils.
And then it is. But it's also kind of mixed with
(24:45):
the imagery of like if you took a photo of the altar or the herb
crafting you were doing, which Ithink is very cool.
Again, like it has a lot of I don't know, I just I love herb
crafting, so this deck makes a lot of sense to me.
But I think also herb crafting is like a very cool way to get
(25:08):
to know your local landscape andplants and be more connected to
nature and where you live. I'm sorry if my shuffling was
very loud. All right, what message does the
duck have for us today? OK, I pulled Nasturtium 6 of
(25:32):
fire. Oh, I guess this is one other
thing about this deck. It does not really have
reversals, or at least there's no descriptions for it in the
Tarot Duck guide book. It sort of makes sense to me
'cause I'm like, if often reversals are seen as like the
opposite, are you having a challenge?
Which could still be true, but it's hard to imagine like what
the opposite of a plant is in that sense.
(25:56):
So the other thing I guess is that this deck is organized
instead of like Ace through 10 page Jack, no Page Knight Queen,
king of one suit. And then it moves on to the next
one in the deck organization. Like in the Taroga deck guide
book, it does all the fives together, all the sixes
(26:18):
together, all the sevens together.
So in some ways that's kind of nice because like here I have a
six of fire. So I know I go to the sixes
section and then I find the one for fire and nasturtium.
But that is just different than a lot of other pteroducks that I
use where they mostly go by suit.
All right, so the six of fire, nasturtium, I love nasturtium as
(26:41):
a plant. I've grown a lot in the garden.
It's a really good trap plant, which means it if you plant it
near things that you don't want to be bug eaten or bug ridden.
Nasturtium attracts a lot of different I guess maybe not
attracts but basically it's a trap plant and that like if you
put it near plants that you don't want to get eaten, bugs
(27:03):
are more attracted to the nasturtium plant.
So often when I have had nasturtium near other plants in
my raised garden beds, they literally get covered like in a
horrifying horror movie kind of way with bugs.
Also every part of nasturtium isedible to humans and probably
(27:25):
also to bugs. Probably why it's a good trap
plant. You can use the flowers, they're
really pretty edible. They come in different kind of
like iterations. They're oranges or Reds or
yellows. You can eat the leaves.
They're sort of like the taste of a radish that's like a
little, it's like watery and like a little spicy, if you know
(27:47):
what I mean. Like it has like a like a bite
to it. You can use them like cook them
down or use them as kind of likesalad greens.
They're they're like some very circular, which is kind of cool.
They look almost like like pond lilies, like the like, what are
they called? Yeah, like water, really like
(28:08):
pads. They kind of look like that.
And often they are climbing or trailing.
So they'll sort of like, if you have them again in a garden bed,
they'll sort of like weave throughout different plants.
They sometimes can cling on to things slightly, but very pretty
anyway. OK, Nasturtium 6 of Fire
(28:29):
Tropolaeum species. Celebrate yourself and others.
Call the circle. Make some magic, glitter and
spice. Magnify power and joy.
A table is set for making spellswith French.
Large beeswax pillars wait to beadorned.
Red and gold glitter spills ontothe table.
Nesertian flowers Crimson, orange and yellow pepper the
(28:50):
table. A candle is lit in the center of
the holy mess to mark the beginning of sacred time.
Raise a little power for healingand transformation.
Cheer on your friends and praisetheir accomplishments as they do
for you. Drawing bees and nourishing
soil, wildly growing, nasturtiumis a vibrant plant that brings
life to the garden. Your ability to bring people
(29:11):
together creates magic. Claim your place as a community
leader. Gather circles.
Creativity ignites creativity. Nasturtium blooms in many
colors. Let your personal flare shine.
Dance to your own beat while dancing in harmony with others.
Nasturtium vinegar adds flavor with a kick.
Celebrate your accomplishments with pizzazz.
So if you want to craft with nasturtium or the Six of Fire,
(29:34):
you can add an assertium petals to spell candles to increase
their energy and strength. You can make assert some Oxmel
spritzers to toast your accomplishments and you can
magnify joy at your next gathering.
Serve goat cheese mixed with assertion petals and leaves.
Yeah, they are really good for making like either putting them
in salads that's like an edible flour or yeah, adding them to,
(29:57):
you can add them to like buttersor cheeses where you make them,
like herbed or very pretty if you've ever seen ones where they
like press flowers into it. I was just going to quickly
share with you what the definition of an ox smell is.
So fill a jar 2/3 of the way full with plant material.
Then you fill the jar halfway with vinegar and you add honey
(30:19):
until the jar is full. Stir to ensure that all plants
are submerged and liquid. Cover with a clear lid and
infuse for a full moon cycle or more so you know, about a month
strain if desired and enjoy. So that's what an ox smell is.
So it says you can make one withthe sturtium, make Oxmelt
sportzers, which is fascinating.So you could, I guess once you
(30:42):
make it and strain it, then you could add it to a drink and with
some bubble water or other things to as a, as a toast to
your accomplishments. Because this is all about
celebration. So I did pull this card in
reverse. So perhaps maybe there are
things that you're having a hardtime celebrating right now, or
maybe you really need, right? Often at the end of the year,
(31:05):
there's a feeling of like, I'm exhausted.
What did I even do this year? And so sometimes just reflecting
back on it, thinking about all the things you've done, the
people you've brought together, the things that went really
well, your achievements and accomplishments, even if maybe
you didn't do all the things youwanted to do, right.
Often if we look back at that list, it's like, wow, actually,
(31:25):
yeah, I did a lot of things. So I think that's the rest of
the energy, too. And maybe this is something you
want to call in for 2026, right?Celebration, community, creating
circles with other folks you know, being yourself, letting
your personality flare shine, asthis card says.
But also right, doing that with other people, letting, letting
(31:49):
yourself be known by others, letting others celebrate you as
well. So that is very fun.
