"The Medicine Woman Tarot honors Mother Earth and respects all beings, embodied and in spirit. It guides through the seasons and the powers, which they provide to all who live in earth’s embrace. Seventy-eight positive images depict the feminine strength in both men and women."-- Introduction to The Medicine Woman Tarot Deck by Carol Bridges.
In this 78-card deck the 22 Major Arcana, referred to as the Great Mystery, depicts a path of life, starting from the Seed/Fool card and completing with the Dancer/World card. In the Minor Arcana, the four suits are Stones (coins), Pipes (wands), Arrows (swords), and Bowls (cups). The four cards that correspond to the traditional court cards are apprentice (page), totem (knight), lodge (queen), and exemplar (king).
