Celebrate the magic of your body and tap into the wisdom of your subconscious with this lavish anatomical-themed 72-card tarot deck and guidebook.

Your body is a universe in microcosm. Great galaxies of microbes and shooting stars of neural signals live inside you. You are of miraculous construction and a thing of beauty and wonder. Featuring the beautiful anatomical drawings of artist Emma McArthur and linked to the Five-Element healing system, The Body Tarot taps into the wisdom of your physical being. This collectible deck offers unique insight into the workings of your body and the messages that each organ and element have for you. You will learn a bit more about how your body works and how those processes are allegories for the situations we face in our daily lives. The Major Arcana is transposed into the major body organs, while the Minor Arcana consists of five suits corresponding to the Eastern elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. As well as describing the meaning of each card, the accompanying guidebook shows you how to lay out spreads for insights into any aspect of your life, such as your relationships, health or career, and includes a new spread specially devised for this system - the five-point body spread.
