Inner Child Cards: A Fairy Tale Tarot
The Inner Child Cards by Isha and Mark Lerner "celebrate the imaginative spirit of the child." This is a deck for both the young and the young at heart. The cards show how the deep symbolism of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and myths correspond to traditional tarot archetypes. The lesson of power applies to both Aladdin and the Magician. Beauty and the Beast are echoed in Strength. The minor arcana cards also capture the magic and mystery of children's stories. The suits are the magic wands, winged hearts, swords and crystals. The court cards are the child, seeker, guide and guardian. In the companion book Inner Child Cards: A Fairy Tale Tarot, the Lerners describe how each card's story sheds light on its meaning. There is also a section on using the cards with children. The artist is Christopher Guilfoil.
