Animal Symbols and Their Meanings in the Tarot

Tarot for the Modern Reader

S02 Ep021 - Have you never noticed how many cards in your deck feature animals? Spoiler alert- in the RWS deck, it's 33! That's nearly half the deck! What does this mean? In the artwork of our decks, the animals are seen as symbols, they represent more than just something cute or interesting to look at. As a matter of fact, every animal has it’s own attributes that make it unique, and it's own spiritual meaning as well. Nearly none of the animals on your cards are placed there by accident or just to improve the artwork of the card or give you something interesting to look at.
Like all of the symbols on your cards, they have meaning. From the larger-than-life horses of the knights, to the smallest or most obscure (do you happen to know which RWS card features a bunny?), they all have great meaning and insight into our cards, and ultimately our readings, to offer us. Listen in to this episode where I share about all of the animals featured in the RWS deck, what they mean, and how you can interpret the animals in whatever deck you choose to read with!
