The Walking Tarot of the Wild Ways of the Woods is now on sale!

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

This is a set of walks that encourage going off-piste, walks that invite you to unite as part of nature. Walks through which to meet and learn the unusual beings that dwell deep within the woods, and within yourself. This deck explores our relationship with the woods through the ideas of q***r ecofeminism – acknowledging the diversity of the natural world, blurring boundaries, and treading with openness and respect.

At its heart, tarot is a storytelling device. A deck of symbols and narratives that can spark conversations, inspire ideas, and reveal new perspectives. This “walking tarot” invites you to go one step further – it invites you to enact whole new stories of care for the woods, for ourselves and for one another.

Drawing on the ancient wisdom of tarot and of Britain’s wild lands, these cards have been written through conversations with the communities of the ancient Forest of Hatfield, and drawn over long nights camping out in the British woods. These are walks that invite care for the woods, for ourselves and for one another.

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Link to buy in our bio, or contact if you’re interested in stocking. A bit of magic just in time for Christmas.

We will be running workshops with the cards over the coming months: Coming to a wild place near you!

Project by with and published by Mouldy Books. Created through a commission by and supported by Arts Council England.
