The record
The Australian Animal Tarot is a 78-card deck by Ann Williams-Fitzgerald, first published by US Games Systems in 2001. The deck can be purchased separately or as part of a set with the book Wisdom of the Australian Animals by authors Ann Williams-Fitzgerald and Karen Osborn. The deck is currently listed as unavailable by most retailers, but not classified as out of print as of December 2007. The artwork is simple and engaging, soothing to the eye and a catalyst for the imagination. Each card has a pale purple background with a hand-drawn and colored image of an animal in the center, done by artist Tracy Hinschen. The title of the card is at the top, the name of each animal at the bottom, with four keywords and a crystal association for each card around the sides. The card backs feature the Southern Cross constellation, most prominent in the Australian sky, and are non-reversible. This deck uses the numbering system that most readers are familiar with, Strength being #8 and Justice #11. The cards are 2 7/8 x 4 ¼, sturdy and durable. The language on the cards is English. The deck includes a 47-page instruction booklet with only key sentence meanings for each card. There is a table
