Folkloric Forest Tarot - 2nd Edition

The earth element dominates the paintings that make up Folkloric Forest Tarot. A window onto the forest and its inhabitants, onto Northern European folklore, Finnish mythology in particular and the stories of the Kalevala, always suggested but never overt. The land is farmed, on the land we hunt, in the land we take shelter and die... Find your own point of connection with this splendid work by Lennox Rees, who describes the forest as a place of "brutal honesty". We could not agree more. Each card features a classical painting from the public domain. Second edition. Part of an encyclopaedic series alongside Folkloric Waters Tarot (water element).

Lennox Rees is an artist and designer with an eye on the material and the sensory, and a heart in the fantastical. A devoted student of Finnish mythology, passionate about myth and magic, she cultivates her art on the border between ocean and forest, living in an ongoing search where the rawness of nature is the true teacher.
