The Forager’s Daughter Tarot
The Forager's Daughter Tarot is a collection of 83 uniquely illustrated cards, featuring motifs and narratives found in the flora and fauna around us. Each card articulates new and individual compositions to share a piece of the story of the Fool's journey as described by the Rider Waite Tarot with my own personal mythologies strewn in. A style inspired by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements, North American colloquial art, Medieval tapestry, and naturalist illustration ties the cards together in beautiful and delicate harmony.
The imagery used in this deck comes from a deep seeded love of nature, and a reverence for the natural cycles happening within and around us all the time. My parents are hunters, fishers, foragers, and gardeners, and this lifestyle taught me to look closely at nature throughout my childhood. I found things reflected in plants and animals that I was experiencing myself: struggles, successes, drives, and relationships. From the transformation of cicadas and butterflies, to stags locked together by aggression, to new growth after an icy winter, and everything in between: these are the metaphorical manifestations of what we experience as we go through life.
In the spring of 2022, the Forager’s Daughter Tarot was redesigned as a third-edition release: The Afterlight Edition. While the imagery of the cards remains the same, this update includes a new card backing design, a new border, a new box, and five additional cards added to the Major Arcana.
Afterlight is a term coined in the 1800s. It describes two things; the time of twilight just as the sun is setting before nightfall (the golden hour), and the idea of retrospect. This edition of the deck was a chance for me to look back at my previous work and honor those humble beginnings while using new skills to refresh some of the design elements. The dusky purple alongside the gold gilt edges encompasses that magical twilight hour where our waking and sleeping worlds overlap. It was the perfect descriptive word for this new edition and I'm so excited to share it with you.
