The Rosebud Tarot is a stunning 78-card tarot deck that draws inspiration from the classic Rider-Waite-Smith structure. Its exquisite images transport tarot enthusiasts into a dreamscape of pathways, making the experience more inclusive and resonant for today's readers. Several of the cards have been renamed, with the court cards receiving particular attention. For instance, THE FOOL becomes THE YOUTH, THE HIGH PRIESTESS becomes THE WITCH, THE EMPRESS becomes THE LIFEGIVER, THE HIEROPHANT becomes THE PROFESSOR, and TEMPERANCE becomes ALCHEMY. The deck's creators have also chosen to emphasize the elements for each minor arcana suit, rather than using traditional titles. The deck includes a guidebook written by Diana Rose Harper, which provides meaning through mythopoetic language and offers guidance for creating personal interpretations. Additionally, the guidebook includes a brief history of the tarot and other valuable resources to support tarot studies. I adore the fresh, bold style of The Rosebud Tarot, the renaming of many of the Majors, and the transformation of the court cards into four tiers of energies: Curiosity, Velocity, Generosity, and Sovereignty. This deck is sure to appeal to the up-and-coming generation of tarot readers. -Benebell Wen, author of The Holistic Tarot
