The Viola Lux Umbra Tarot came to be over a lifetime of seasonal change, sprouted from soil to the wisdom of archaic stars that blossom in the night sky. Years of botanical magic brought me here, inspired to grow through art, divination, wonder, and fate with ancient light and shadow — the kindred forces our branches cast upon the mysteries of life. From novice, sprouting Tarot readers to experts whose stems mature with timeworn truths, Viola Lux Umbra will lead you along the growing path.
Ten years ago, in a garden far, far away the Pythia Botanica Oracle would bloom. This botanical, tea-stained dream was a first of its kind, sprouting up from flowerbeds to the cards, to a plant magic deck that would guide myself and so many of us through a decade of truths.
Now, the 10-year anniversary has sprouted a complete and new, 68-card edition of Pythia Botanica, brimming with the best of all our plants, herbs and blooms: hand-illustrated oracle cards that have stood the test of time, words that have matured with enduring depth and meaning, and flowers that inspire our desire for fateful guidance.
A botanical guide to unlocking the magic of Tarot. With stunning floral illustrations and soulful insights, this is your doorway into the cards and the wisdom they hold.
Featuring bespoke illustrations of all major and minor arcana cards, this beautiful hardcover handbook navigates everyone, from novice to expert, along the path of this centuries-old practice. Enchanting flowers and engaging descriptions guide the way, hand-in-hand with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, into everything you need to know about reading tarot, from a basic understanding of what each card means, all the way to detailed readings to enrich your everyday life.
