The Fifth Tarot has taken flight!
What a great honor it was to “birth” The Fifth Tarot! It was an incredible journey as each card came alive in the drawing and writing. We hope you will enjoy the experience working with the cards as much as we did in creating it!
Our Inspiration
Energetic transmission in each card
The images for the cards came from dreams and meditation visions. The writing of the book came as guided writing. Working as shamanic energy practitioners, each card was imbued with the energy specific to the element and its essence.

The Central Coast Tarot Meet-up
We have facilitated the Central Coast Tarot Meet-up, that met once a month to explore the world of tarot. It’s was a lively group of tarot enthusiasts where we shared different decks and learned from each other. The first half of the meeting we explored a tarot related topic, then put it into practice reading for each other.
Since we have not met in person for a while, we refer you to Belinda Popovic for your local readings
