The Tarot cards are therefore a collection of the secrets of our universe. This Australian Animal Tarot explores these secrets of our universe through the messages of the Australian Animals. The 22 cards of the Major Arcana are the heart of the deck.

Soon he will be ready to begin a new journey that will lead him on to even greater levels of understanding.  © 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 - Reproduction in any form is prohibited!
