The Forager's Daughter Tarot, in its 2nd print run, is an intuitive deck featuring symbolism found in the natural world, with Art Nouveau-inspired details.
The imagery used in this deck comes from , the creator, Jessica Lei Howard's deep seeded love of nature, and a reverence for the natural cycles happening around us all the time. Her parents are hunters, fishers, foragers and gardeners, and this lifestyle taught her to look closely at nature all through her childhood. She found things reflected in plants and animals that she was experiencing myself: struggles, successes, drives, relationships.
In times of uncertainty and chaos, introspection and reflection can be incredible tools for regaining a sense of balance. When current culture confuses us, looking to nature – our roots – can help us find our footing again. The Forager’s Daughter Tarot uses the natural world as a lens for understanding our place in the present. The imagery illustrated in these cards mirrors the successes, struggles, and lessons we experience in our daily lives, shown through the symbolism of animals, insects, and plants.
The guidebook to this deck includes detailed descriptions for each card, along with keywords for the upright and reversed readings. Many of the entries contain anecdotes of the creator's memories growing up surrounded by nature, and how she's come to ascribe those specific meanings to each image. While these are deeply personal stories, she has happily found that they resonate with others across all borders, in many different ways.

Meet the Creator, Jessica Lei Howard
Jessica Lei Howard is an artist living in Cleveland, OH. She grew up about an hour southeast of where she is now in a fairly rural area, and spent most of her time outside. She comes from a family of hunters, fishers, foragers, and gardeners. You can see how these things have shaped her love of nature and wild spaces in her artwork. She's also inspired by the intricacies of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. Her medium is digital illustration, though she bounces back and forth between working on the computer and sketching/drawing/painting.
