The Robin Wood Tarot took nearly a decade to design. Robin has combined the traditional Tarot card designs and symbolism with a more current and natural
symbolism which makes these cards easy to interpret.

THE MINOR ARCANA
The Minor Arcana cards deal with day-to-day concerns. These cards cover all aspects of life. It is very nearly possible to do a complete reading using the
Minor Arcana alone.
There is considerable latitude in interpreting the cards of the Minor Arcana. Until recently, the Minor Arcana were printed without illustration. This made
it easy to attach meanings called for by the situation.
Unfortunately, it also made it far too easy to become confused and to mix up the meanings of the cards.
The Minor Arcana of the Robin
Wood deck are richly illustrated with visual reminders of the most common meanings built into the figures. We have also added Key Words to the descriptions
of the "pip" cards (the 2 through 10 and the Ace) to help remind you of the basic meanings.
THE PENTACLES
The suit of diamonds in modern playing cards derives from the Tarot's suit of Pentacles. Pentacles are associated with money, goods,services, work; with
the status of the seeker's possessions and properties.
Astrologically, the Pentacles are associated with the Earth signs, and so for the purpose of magic this suit represents the element of Earth.
