Ask The Witch Tarot

Ask The Witch Tarot, an imaginative creation by witchcraft historian Francesca Matteoni and beautifully illustrated by the talented Simone Pace, offers a fresh, detailed interpretation of the tarot deck. This captivating work reconfigures the traditional tarot into a circle of wise women, spirited beings, and renowned enchantresses, inviting users to explore a magical realm rich in history and lore.

In the Major Arcana, each card introduces a distinct witch from various cultural narratives, weaving together the threads of history, mythology, and folklore. For example, Circe, the legendary sorceress known for her transformative powers, takes center stage as The Magician, symbolizing resourcefulness and mastery of the elements. Joan of Arc, the brave, visionary leader, embodies Strength, representing courage and conviction against overwhelming odds. Baba Yaga, the enigmatic figure from Slavic folklore, represents Death, reflecting the cycles of life, transformation, and renewal. Finally, Hekate, the powerful goddess of magic and witchcraft, is depicted as The Moon, embodying intuition, mystery, and the connection to the unseen.

The Minor Arcana further enriches the tarot experience by weaving together the lives of witches, their formidable tools, and their loyal familiars, all illustrated through the four elemental forces: earth, air, fire, and water. Each card offers a chance to explore the diverse expressions of witchcraft and the wisdom these elements bring.

This enchanting deck comes with a comprehensive 128-page guidebook that offers valuable insights and interpretative guidance. Thoughtfully designed for those new to tarot, it offers clear explanations and approachable instructions, while also enriching the experience for seasoned practitioners with deeper mythic storytelling and nuanced interpretations in every card. This deck invites users to explore the world of magic and wisdom, encouraging a reflective, meaningful exploration of their intuition and spiritual journey.
