Summary
The artist behind the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck and Guidebook helps seekers of all levels expand their practice of self-discovery with this breathtaking keepsake boxed set featuring an oracle deck and guidebook inspired by real and mythical animals。
Beloved artist Kim Krans is helping to redefine the tarot movement for the twenty-first century。 Hand drawn in her detailed and emotionally evocative style， The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook is a work of art that explores the mysteries of the natural world and the animal kingdom。 Each of the 63 gorgeous oracle cards captures a stunning portrait of creatures both real and mythical。
Divided into five suits structured by the five yogic elements that make up all living things—Earth， Water， Fire， Air and Ether—The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook includes creatures that roam the field and forest， swim in the oceans and rivers， inhabit deserts and grasslands， and soar through the sky。 The Ether suit holds the seven spirit cards， and represents the seven chakras of the subtle body。
From the Peacock who symbolizes inner beauty and reminds us to practice self-acceptance to the playful Dolphin who indicates a profound blessing is headed our way， each animal has been carefully selected for its symbolic potency and the lesson at the core of its nature。 Kim’s powerful animal archetypes offer insight into relationships， personalities， behaviors and tendencies and can be used alone or alongside The Wild Unknown Tarot to add an additional layer of depth to readings。
The 200-page hand-lettered， fully illustrated guidebook offers grounded， easy to understand explanations of the cards， a detailed look at the many spreads， practices， and concepts that power the Animal Spirit deck， and deep insight into how each animal helps illuminate our contradictions， our complex natures， and the endless mystery of who we are。
Packaged in a highly designed keepsake box with a beautiful lifting ribbon， The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook celebrates the hidden wisdom of the creatures that inhabit our world and beyond， and reveals how we are all connected in the complex and wondrous web of life。

5/5⭐️This oracle deck and guidebook is superb！ The animal selection is very diverse， and it features animals that aren’t always popular。 The artwork is really unique and lovely， featuring a lot of pointalism and line work， combined with watercolour。 The book is well written and very insightful。 I appreciated how all animals had an “in balance” and “out of balance” aspect。 I’ve done a couple of spreads with this deck， and it gave very accurate answers/guidance。

I really really love this deck。 The book is good， but I find myself interpreting the cards without it， it’s been really good practice for intuitive reading。 Plus the art is beautiful！

I'll be honest: the thing that really drew me to this deck was the fact that it includes a lot of overlooked animals。 All too often， I've handled animal decks that only focus on "charismatic megafaunas" and nothing else。 As my animal guide is the spotted hyena， I'm always on the lookout for things that feature them and when I saw that this deck features the hyena in a positive light， that sealed the deal。 There are also cards featuring vultures， scorpions， bats， spiders and other misunderstood a I'll be honest: the thing that really drew me to this deck was the fact that it includes a lot of overlooked animals。 All too often， I've handled animal decks that only focus on "charismatic megafaunas" and nothing else。 As my animal guide is the spotted hyena， I'm always on the lookout for things that feature them and when I saw that this deck features the hyena in a positive light， that sealed the deal。 There are also cards featuring vultures， scorpions， bats， spiders and other misunderstood animals。 Of course， you also have lovely big cats， deer， birds and other outliers like fire ants。 In other words， there's a really good mix of diverse animals here as well as some mythological archetypes such as the unicorn and phoenix。 The artwork is lovely and the card stock is a smooth， semi-glossed matte that works great with both overhand and a rifle shuffle。 My favourite cards are the ones like the crocodile and stingray that are mostly black and white but have an elegant splash of colour。 On a personal note， I have really small hands and the cards are just the right size for me to comfortably shuffle。 I like how each animal is described in a positive way in the guidebook。 I think it's really important that people re-frame their viewpoint on "less desirable" animals and recognise their importance in not only the ecosystem， but in spirituality， too。 The only thing I'm not so sure about is some of the elements for certain animals （I get the logic for putting all birds into the air category， but I think it's a bit of an oversimplification）。 I would have also preferred for each animal to have been listed alphabetically within their respective element section。 Overall， though， I really love working with this deck and I think it has a very broad appeal。 It's really good to see a mass-market deck with such nice production！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The drawings are beautiful， the chosen animals are interesting。 Whether you want to use the deck for readings or just for yourself， I think the book is a very interesting addition either way。 It was fascinating to read just why Kim would choose these animals and why not others。 It has only animals living in the wild but has the bigger cat species （tiger， panter， lion） and the dog-like Wolf cards for those who want to use these pet animals in their decks。 This is the “Wild Animal” deck so I think The drawings are beautiful， the chosen animals are interesting。 Whether you want to use the deck for readings or just for yourself， I think the book is a very interesting addition either way。 It was fascinating to read just why Kim would choose these animals and why not others。 It has only animals living in the wild but has the bigger cat species （tiger， panter， lion） and the dog-like Wolf cards for those who want to use these pet animals in their decks。 This is the “Wild Animal” deck so I think it makes perfect sense to not include pets。 And for those who want to use these to do readings， it has 4 suits like the minor arcana （earth， water， air and fire） and a sort of hierarchy within each suit instead of the numbers within each suit （just saying what is written in the book for those of you that wish to know this before buying these） and has 7 of the spirit cards， the more mythical beings and instead of a sort of major arcana， there are only 7 of these “spirit” cards so each one coresponds to each of the seven chakra’s。 Quite interesting but can’t say anything else because I have nothing to compair them with。But to conclude: I found the book fascinating and love using the cards （personal use only） as well， could place everything that came forth with these very well so I’m quite happy with these 。。。more

For people who enjoy working with the Tarot， i have to say that I absolutely love this deck。 the artwork is beautiful， the imagery easy to understand and the accompanying book gives an interpretation of the energies that I really can relate to。 I find this a deck that brings you back into contact with the natural world， something we are hugely missing in our modern busy lives。 I find myself gravitating to this deck quite often。 I'm very choosy about the decks I work with。 I have to really feel a For people who enjoy working with the Tarot， i have to say that I absolutely love this deck。 the artwork is beautiful， the imagery easy to understand and the accompanying book gives an interpretation of the energies that I really can relate to。 I find this a deck that brings you back into contact with the natural world， something we are hugely missing in our modern busy lives。 I find myself gravitating to this deck quite often。 I'm very choosy about the decks I work with。 I have to really feel a connection to their symbolism and design。 I'd rather have five decks that I really love and understand than 50 decks that I don't relate to or feel a connection with。 Sometimes less is more。 。。。more

Great tool。 I love reading my cards in the mornings！ Gets me off to a great start！ It's crazy how spot on iptheycan be。 If you aren't a believer they probably won't work for you。 You have to be open and have faith for them to work for you。Love that the guide book shows different ways to read the cards and shuffle and how to be with the deck during and before。 Great tool。 I love reading my cards in the mornings！ Gets me off to a great start！ It's crazy how spot on iptheycan be。 If you aren't a believer they probably won't work for you。 You have to be open and have faith for them to work for you。Love that the guide book shows different ways to read the cards and shuffle and how to be with the deck during and before。 。。。more

This although isn't really a book is a fantastic set of Oracle cards and guidebook also。 The cards are wonderfully made， beautiful to look at but also easy to handle and feel nice to hold。 The guidebook which comes with the cards is just fantastic！ It makes using the cards， easy and simple and the illustrations and descriptions keeps you wanting to do more and more readings。I would suggest this set to anyone who has an interest in Spirit Animals and the use of Oracle Cards/ Tarot cards。 This although isn't really a book is a fantastic set of Oracle cards and guidebook also。 The cards are wonderfully made， beautiful to look at but also easy to handle and feel nice to hold。 The guidebook which comes with the cards is just fantastic！ It makes using the cards， easy and simple and the illustrations and descriptions keeps you wanting to do more and more readings。I would suggest this set to anyone who has an interest in Spirit Animals and the use of Oracle Cards/ Tarot cards。 。。。more

Love love love this deck。 I feel so refreshed when I use it as opposed to tarot which can for the most part drain me。 Art work is beautiful， i love how the Ether symbol shines and really makes it magical。

Beautiful art， though I have my own associations with the animals that aren't quite the same as the author's。 Beautiful art， though I have my own associations with the animals that aren't quite the same as the author's。 。。。more

I might have liked a little more about how to interpret different cards in readings/spreads， especially the spirit cards， but otherwise I love the depth of information in this guide。

No es un libro， es una guía que acompaña las cartas de tarot y estoy enamoradísima de cómo está escrito， de las cartas y del reto de seguir auto-conociéndome❤️Las cartas son preciosas y la guía súper completa， te explica cada carta， como mezclar， las posibles tiradas。。。 ¡perfecto para una novata como yo！Si os gusta el mundillo， son cartas perfectas para empezar😌
