Animal Totem Tarot

Animal Totem Tarot – The primal wisdom of animals, translated into tarot

About this deck

Animal Totem Tarot by Leeza Robertson, with illustrations by Eugene Smith, is a powerful tarot deck that combines the traditional structure of the Rider-Waite tarot with the deep symbolism of the animal kingdom. This 78-card deck invites you to see the natural world as a mirror and guide – with each animal as a teacher, ally and source of insight.

Symbolism and themes

The cards are faithful to the classic division of tarot: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana divided into the suits of Swords, Wands, Cups and Pentacles. Each animal represents a specific archetype and symbolizes themes such as strength, survival, intuition, protection and natural balance. Instead of projecting human qualities onto animals, this deck emphasizes the wisdom of the animals themselves – in their own environment, with their own rhythm and strength.

how the deck comes to life in readings

Thanks to the clear symbolism and the extensive guidebook of no less than 347 pages, this deck is suitable for both beginners and advanced readers. The cards feel sturdy and smooth at the same time, making them pleasant to shake and easy to handle. The absence of borders allows the illustrations to really shine, while the back features a spiral pattern of animals and flowers that feels elegant and soothing.

Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?

Yes, definitely. Leeza Robertson's guidebook offers a clear explanation of both the animal and the tarot meaning of each card, with practical examples and reading with feelings. This makes the deck both educational and inspiring for anyone who wants to delve into tarot and animal symbolism.
