Description

The Earth Mother Magic Tarot Zine is a guide to the symbolism behind the cards in the Earth Mother Magic Tarot Deck, both created by Ayshe-Mira Yashin. The zine contains detailed upright and reversed meanings of each card, as well as in-depth descriptions of the underlying symbolism and imagery of the illustrations.

In the zine, you can also find information about the making of the tarot deck, as well as advice about using the tarot cards and ideas about understanding the tarot through a queer lens. The zine also provides three tarot spreads: one for exploring queer love, one for healing, and a spread for the full moon. There is also a list of ideas for questions to ask the tarot surrounding themes of self-exploration, mental health, family, friendships, love, sex, career and finances.

The tarot zine is beginner friendly, and includes basic descriptions of how to use tarot cards on a practical level, as well as including suggestions for how to do intuitive readings and tap into your subconscious mind or spirit self through the tarot. The zine also includes explanations of the overarching meanings and elemental correspondences of each of the four tarot suits (wands, cups, swords and pentacles).

The zine is 13cm x 18cm in size, and 56 pages. It is bound by hand by the creator Ayshe-Mira Yashin, using a kettle-stitch bookbinding technique.
