The energy of The Guardian of the Night
There is no need to fear the dark, for the darkness does not concern itself with you. It has but one function—offer you an endless space to create. It is in the darkness, in the wee hours of the night, our inventive minds get busy from illustrating lavish, blissful dreams that keep us nestled warmly in our bed to nightmarish images and shadow creatures that lurk about on the walls filling our head full of dread.
The Guardian of the Night Tarot offers guidance as we navigate our way through a dark time. It is not a tool to wash away or banish the darkness as it is here; many divine dreams emerge. Instead, this deck will help you uncover the gifts that nourish the soul. It will bring to your awareness of the beauty that lines the path. Walk confidently as your guide will also help you discover the pesky gremlins that set traps, hoping to keep you up for another sleepless night.
No, there is no need to fear the dark for the shadow that dances around the room is you.

Welcome to the Night
Your Guardian of the Night Tarot is full of nocturnal creatures who are accustomed to traveling through the darkness. These beautiful companions offer to you their talents, their natural ability to see, to create, to hunt while the rest of the world is asleep.

Meet your guides:
The Guardian of the Night Tarot offers you a unique blend of energy as Tarot and animal spirits come together. As the cards come to life, I draw upon each animal's essence as it is infused in every card of this deck, adding another layer of energy to your reading. From bats to bees, from elephants to elk, you will discover a global collection of animal energy ready to help guide you on your journey. The creatures of this deck offer to your reading their individual gift of wisdom and inspiration.
For example, let's take spiders. Many people are terrified of spiders however the wisdom they share with us is as sprawling as the web they create. They teach us to be patient, to focus our energy on creating with an understanding that in time with the right preparation you will be rewarded. The spider is also a symbol of the strong feminine energy that is available to all of us and in many cultures it represents motherhood.

Your guidebook will include information about each animal and how their energy not only contributes to the story each card holds, but also how you can apply their insights to help you gain a new perspective, discover clarity, and if needed find healing.

About the artist:
Hello, I'm MJ, and this is my fourth Tarot deck. My first deck, the Crow Tarot (winner of two 2019 CARTA awards), began my journey as a Tarot illustrator. However, I have been an artist for as long as I can recall. As per my mother, as I was too young to remember this event, apparently, at a young age, I went door to door trying to sell my drawings. Even back then, I knew I didn't want to make art as a hobby, I wanted art to be my career. This is my purpose; this is what I am here to do. It only took 45 some odd years to realize that my passion sits in the world of Tarot as I not only get to make the art I love—I also see how it benefits others. It's not just a pretty picture on the wall; it is a tool that brings clarity and joy, and hopefully, some appreciation for the artwork itself. I thoughtfully design each of my decks to be intuitive, and you will find the energy of each is unique. My latest deck began a month into our Shelter in Place order. I am a single mom of a kiddo who is now home from school for the rest of the year. The Guardian of the Night brings an energy of hope, a sense of sadness at times, and a recognition for what has been lost. It is very much a journey in the making.
I hope you will join me on this trip as I think we could all use the company.
Peace,
MJ
