Guidebook for The Whisper of Stars and Garden Tarot
The Whispers of Stars and Gardens Tarot Deck was created and illustrated by independent designer Chain J. It is available in two versions: a Standard Edition and a Collector's Edition. The Collector's Edition includes two additional hidden cards beyond the standard 78, with each card holding its own unique meaning.
The design of the Whispers of Stars and Gardens Tarot Deck was originally intended to convey an ideal vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity, the universe, and nature. The deck acts as a bridge—one end rooted in the earth, the other reaching into the vast starry sky. It invites users to deeply experience this sense of harmony with nature and embark on a spiritual journey exploring the relationship between the self and the cosmos.
This deck draws inspiration from the classic Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot, originally designed by Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur Edward Waite. Building upon the foundation of the Rider–Waite system, Whispers of Stars and Gardens expands and enriches its visual language. During your readings, you may notice subtle differences between these cards and the traditional Rider–Waite imagery. It is recommended to use the Rider–Waite system as a starting point, allowing your intuition to guide your interpretations while using the colors and imagery of the cards for deeper, exploratory insights. Additionally, this guidebook provides commentary, interpretation tips, and keywords for each card, helping you grasp the essential meanings with ease.
