He notes that the insights from the Greenwood otherworld have been nurtured and applied by thousands of people. They have come to know the esoteric archetypes that inhabit the Wildwood, and the Wheel of the Year system.

The focus and emphasis for the Wildwood Tarot is on ecology, and he older conception of forest lore from a European perspective.

The box that the book and deck come in is heavy duty, with a lift-off top.

This figure alone tells of the seriousness of intent in this deck. There are two compartment within the box for the cards, with finger-hole to make easy to get the cards out I am a little bobblehead reading the companion book. (Yes, I read companion books from first
