Created by illustrator Kevin Jay Stanton, this 78-card deck features traditional paintings rooted in classical tarot interpretations that delve into the lore and mythology of the plant kingdom.

For over five hundred years, humans have used Tarot cards as a tool for divination and meditation. Their archetypal symbols have mystical, philosophical and psychological implications that allow us to understand our past, our future, and ourselves. But even older than that is the symbolism we’ve always assigned to the plants that grow around us. Hermetic, alchemical and scientific traditions explore flowers as tools for making meaning, medicine and magic.

BOTANICA marries the tradition of Tarot to a lexicon far more ancient: the natural vocabulary of life on Earth. Explore the biological roots of the Arcana with this gorgeously painted artist’s deck. A hardcover compendium is an optional extra, detailing the research, process art and theory that Kevin Jay Stanton put into the creation of BOTANICA.

• Kickstarter campaign raised $700,000+ in pledges from almost 10,000 backers (more in post-campain pre-sales).
