Welcome to the Animism Tarot.
The Fool: The Ccara Llama
It was the beautiful artwork that first drew me to the world of tarot.
Though I admired tarot symbolism, as a beginner, learning to read tarot was a
personal struggle. I really wanted a deck that I could connect with easily, with
imagery that not only I felt comfortable with, but one that I could read
intuitively. Then one day I tried my hand at my very first tarot painting, the
Animism Tarot came to life, and a challenge began to make this deck a reality.
The term “animism” has many definitions. In the essence of this tarot, it is the
belief that everything in this physical world – animals, plants, everything that
surrounds us – has a spiritual center, and that these forces have their own
influences on the universe itself. Always at the heart of my artwork, animals
have always held great symbolic meanings and it was natural that they quickly
became the focus of this tarot deck. This project involved a journey of
combining the right animal and tarot card together. The goal was to connect
the ones that shared the strongest symbolisms. Creating a strong, spiritual bond
between each animal and each tarot card was the key to this deck. The Animism
Tarot was definitely a challenge, but in the end everything fell into place.
This guide is not a tutorial on how to read tarot; however, the Animism Tarot is
based on traditional Rider Waite meanings which are readily accessible through
tarot books and tarot websites. Instead, these pages hold short stories
describing the brief encounters in each tarot painting along with helpful key
words associated with each animal that I hope will help develop further insight
between animal and tarot. Ultimately this tarot deck is all about how you see
the images laid before you. Feel the animal world’s influence in your readings.
Trust your instincts and let the animals and their interactions speak to you.
Though this tarot was not painted with reversals in mind, those that would like
to read with reversals are always welcome to create their own interpretations.
Reading tarot is a lifelong learning process, and I hope the Animism Tarot will
be able to assist new and seasoned readers alike. As I hope to grow and learn
with this deck myself, I hope that others will find a connection with it too. I
want to thank everyone that has provided the most amazing feedback and
support every step of the way. I’ve really enjoyed this journey and I hope the
cards find a place in your journey like they have, and will, in mine.
