The RainShadow Tarot has its foundation in the Rider Waite Smith tradition, blending familiar themes with new visual symbolism and exploration of the psyche. Each piece of artwork is a combination of hand-cut collage and painting, intuitively assembled to evoke the spirit of the card it represents. The deck comes with a 56-page guidebook that offers a distinctive perspective on each card. Co-written with tarot healer and artist Autumn Hesse, it offers select keywords and concepts that are easy for the beginner, as well as meaningful for the experienced reader. There are no reverse meanings in this guidebook. The RainShadow Tarot has 78 cards printed on 350 gsm cardstock with a matte laminated finish which is soft and smooth. There are 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards in suits of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. The cards measure 4.75 x 2.75 inches with rounded corners and matte silver edges.
