The Antique Anatomy Tarot

The Antique Anatomy Tarot by Canadian artist Claire Goodchild combines Victorian-style anatomical engravings, reminiscent of old medical textbooks, with delicate botanical illustrations into unusual collages. Born from Goodchild's fascination with 19th-century anatomical plates and historical apothecaries, the result is a strikingly beautiful, unmistakable deck somewhere between a cabinet of natural curiosities and a tarot reading. The accompanying full-color guidebook explains each card's meaning alongside the basics of numerology, astrology, and the four elements, as well as spreads such as the Celtic Cross and Moon Cycle.
