The Wild Life Tarot is a love letter to the animal kingdom—78 creatures, each chosen to embody the energy, instinct, and wisdom of a specific Tarot card.

Born from a lifelong fascination with animal behavior and the ecosystems they call home, this deck invites you to explore your intuition through the lens of nature—tracking patterns, instincts, and meaning across the wild web of life.

If you've ever watched a hawk circle overhead and felt it meant something significant, this deck is for you.

Each Minor Arcana suit is rooted in a specific ecosystem, element, and animal family:

Cups = Sea Creatures

Element: Water
Biome: Ocean
Symbol: Teacups
Palette: Blue + Gold
Energy: Emotion, nostalgia, receptivity

Pentacles = Mammals

Element: Earth
Biome: Forest Floor
Symbol: Crystals
Palette: Orange + Mint Green
Energy: Grounding, growth, physicality

Wands = Reptiles

Element: Fire
Biome: Desert / Tropics
Symbol: Branches
Palette: Deep coral + Red
Energy: Passion, drive, creative force

Swords = Birds

Element: Air
Biome: Sky
Symbol: Knives + Daggers
Palette: Purple + Aquamarine
Energy: Thought, perception, communication

Animal choices in the Minor Arcana were guided by each creature’s ecological role and place in the food web.

The Major Arcana combines Rider-Waite Smith symbolism with natural world associations.

Each card is paired with an animal, astrological influences, and classic archetypes.

You'll also find:

A journal prompt or tarot spread suggestion for every Major
Zodiac and planetary inspiration embedded in the flora, fauna, and color palette

How to Use the Wild Life Tarot

Use it the way animals navigate — by instinct first, then reflection. Pull a single card in the morning and let the creature speak before you reach for the guidebook. For deeper readings, the journal prompts and elemental spreads in the guidebook will take you further into the ecosystem of each card.
