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 artists Emma McArthur and linked to the Five-Element healing system, The Body Tarot taps into the wisdom of your physical being. This collective deck of 72 cards offers unique insight into the workings of your body, the messages that each organ and element have for you, and how the body’s processes are allegories for the situations we face in our daily lives. Each of the Major Arcana is transposed into an organ of the body, while the Minor Arcana consists of five suits corresponding to the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The accompanying 64-page full-colour guidebook describes the meaning of each card, shows you how to lay out spread for insight, and includes a specially devised new spread – the five-point body spread.
Emma McArthur is an artist who explores physical form and identity, with a day job working in publishing. She has developed her original life drawings to move deeper into the structure that makes up each of us and shows our beauty and fragility through her illustrations, screen prints, and lino prints. She lives in London, UK.
