The Canon's read

Tarot Canon's own assessment, written for this catalog.

This record carries the Gaian Tarot's later-edition era, and the catalog consolidates it with Joanna Powell Colbert's original entry, one work, one canonical page. The review preserved here states the philosophy at its cleanest: Gaia as living organism, all creatures cells of one body, practitioners striving to live as harmonious parts of the whole, which is the deck's actual theology and the reason its readers hold it closer than most decks get held.
