Tarot of Tales

Discover Tarot of Tales, a richly imaginative deck by Melinda Lee Holm that invites you into a storybook world where animals—not humans—carry the wisdom of the tarot. Each card feels like a living fable, blending whimsy with emotional depth and quiet insight. The artwork is playful yet profound, making this deck instantly approachable while still offering layers of meaning for deeper reflection.

What truly sets Tarot of Tales apart is its full-color guidebook, which walks you through every card—including the minors—with clarity and care. Melinda introduces a simple yet powerful five-card spread, then pulls each individual card through the entire spread in the guidebook, showing how meaning shifts depending on position and context. It’s a rare and generous teaching tool that helps readers learn how to string cards together, understand nuance, and read stories instead of isolated meanings. If you’re a beginner who wants to truly learn how spreads work—or a seasoned reader who loves decks that feel both gentle and smart—this one is a treasure.
