Witches of the Seasons Tarot by Pamela Chen

A Whimsical Journey Through Tarot, Witchcraft & the Wheel of the Year

Every season carries its own kind of magic.

There are moments for planting intentions, moments for celebrating abundance, moments for releasing what has passed and moments for retreating inward.

Witches of the Seasons Tarot by Pamela Chen, with enchanting artwork by Damayanti Blankestijn, brings those changing energies into a vibrant 78-card tarot deck inspired by the Wheel of the Year.

Built upon the familiar Rider-Waite-Smith system, this colourful and inclusive deck reimagines tarot through seasonal witchcraft, connecting the cards with the sabbats, solstices and equinoxes.

Whimsical without losing its substance, magical without becoming inaccessible, Witches of the Seasons Tarot invites you to discover not only what the cards are saying...

but which season of your own journey you may be experiencing.

🌸☀️🍂❄️ Tarot Through the Turning Year

The Wheel of the Year reminds us that nothing remains still.

We grow.

We bloom.

We harvest.

We release.

And eventually, we begin again.

Witches of the Seasons Tarot weaves this natural rhythm directly into its tarot structure.

The Major Arcana are represented through the two equinoxes and two solstices, connecting tarot's great archetypal journey with the major turning points of the solar year.

The four suits of the Minor Arcana are then aligned with four seasonal festivals:

🔥 Wands – Beltane
Passion, creativity, fire and flourishing energy.

💧 Cups – Imbolc
Renewal, emotional awakening, intuition and the first stirrings of something new.

⚔️ Swords – Samhain
Reflection, truth, release, endings and the wisdom found within the darker half of the year.

🌾 Pentacles – Lammas
Harvest, abundance, resources, manifestation and recognising what your work has created.

It's a wonderfully clever way of taking a familiar tarot structure and viewing it through an entirely different seasonal lens.

🔮 Familiar Tarot, Fresh Magic

If you already read with the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition, there is plenty here to make you feel at home.

Rather than throwing away tarot's familiar foundations, Pamela Chen uses them as the framework for a new exploration of seasonal energy.

That makes Witches of the Seasons Tarot particularly appealing to readers who love traditional tarot symbolism but want artwork and themes that feel more colourful, contemporary and magical.

It also provides another way to understand the cards.

A difficult period isn't necessarily permanent.

Sometimes you're simply in your Samhain.

A new idea may be experiencing its Imbolc.

Something you've worked towards may finally have reached its Lammas.

And occasionally life arrives in full Beltane mode and apparently decides we're all going to be extremely enthusiastic about everything. 😂

🌙 The Reading Experience

Witches of the Seasons Tarot offers more than a seasonal aesthetic.

Its structure encourages you to think about cycles.

Where are you beginning?

What is growing?

What has reached its fullest expression?

What are you harvesting?

What needs to be released?

And what must rest before something new can emerge?

This makes the deck particularly lovely for readings around transitions, personal growth, seasonal practice and the changing phases of life.

It could also become a beautiful companion throughout the year, allowing your relationship with the cards to evolve as the seasons themselves change.

📖 The Guidebook

Accompanying the deck is a 144-page guidebook by Pamela Chen, exploring the cards and showing readers how to work with the gifts and energies of each season.

The guide helps connect the traditional tarot structure with the deck's Wheel of the Year correspondences, encouraging you to use those seasonal influences to explore your own authentic magical self.

🖤 Why We Love It at Oneness Emporium

We love a whimsical deck at Oneness, but we love one even more when there's a proper idea underneath all the pretty pictures.

And Witches of the Seasons Tarot has one.

Connecting tarot with the Wheel of the Year gives readers another language through which to understand the cards. Seasons change, energy shifts, things grow and things end.

That makes this a deck you can enjoy because it's beautiful, while still having plenty to explore once you begin reading with it.

And frankly, assigning Swords to Samhain?

Yes.

Obviously.

No notes. 🎃⚔️😂
