Ann Moura's Green Witchcraft Tradition in Tarot Form

Ann Moura spent decades documenting the green witchcraft tradition before turning that body of work into a tarot system. Her Green Witchcraft book series, published by Llewellyn beginning in 1996, established her as a primary voice in nature-based paganism rooted in Celtic and northern European folk practice. The Green Witch Tarot translates that framework directly into 78 cards, reorganizing the Major Arcana around the Goddess, the God, and the turning of the Wheel of the Year rather than the Western esoteric framework underlying the Rider-Waite-Smith system. The Fool becomes the Greenman, the Empress becomes the Earth Mother, the Emperor becomes the Horned God, and the Devil card becomes Nature, reframing that energy entirely through an ecological lens.

The Minor Arcana suits run Pentacles, Wands, Chalices, and Athames, with Court cards assigned as Page, Knight, Queen, and King. Each card features a primary human or nature scene alongside a specific plant and an animal, all chosen by Moura for their traditional correspondences within green witchcraft practice. Kiri Ostergaard Leonard's illustrations render these scenes in warm, richly saturated earth tones without hard borders, so the full-bleed imagery gives each reading a continuous visual flow. For practitioners whose practice follows the seasonal sabbats, the deck's Wheel of the Year structure creates direct ritual touchpoints.

The 240-Page Guidebook and Its Role in Elemental Practice

The companion guidebook runs 240 pages and is authored entirely by Moura, not by a third-party writer hired to interpret someone else's vision. Each Major Arcana entry includes the card's symbolic overview, the specific animal and plant chosen and why, general meanings, reversed meanings, and a set of reflection prompts. The Minor Arcana entries follow the same depth. The guidebook's opening chapters situate readers in the philosophy of green witchcraft, covering the practitioner's relationship to elemental energies, the seasonal cycle, and the Goddess-God polarity that underlies the entire deck structure.

Readers who do not identify as witches still find this deck fully usable. The imagery communicates through plants, animals, and seasonal scenery in a way that is intuitive regardless of tradition, and Moura explicitly notes in the guidebook that the tarot's function as a tool for accessing psychic intuition is tradition-neutral. This deck and book set earns a permanent place alongside other nature-based resources in my paganism and Wicca books section, which I pair with this kit for practitioners building a complete green witch library.

How to Use the Green Witch Tarot

The Tarot Fellow Standard

I stock the Green Witch Tarot because it is genuinely authored by a practitioner rather than assembled by committee. Ann Moura's years in green witchcraft come through in every card's botanical and animal pairing, and Kiri Ostergaard Leonard's borderless art makes the deck feel alive on the table in a way that bordered decks rarely achieve. The 240-page guidebook is the difference between a themed deck and a working system, and this one delivers the latter. I recommend it to practitioners in pagan and nature-based traditions who want a tarot that speaks their vocabulary from the first pull.
