PENTACLES become EARTHCUPS become WATERWANDS become FIRESWORDS become AIRThe deck comes with a guidebook, written by Diana Rose Harper, written in mythopoetic style that provides meaning, not just with keywords to memorize but as guidance for creating your own meaningful and accurate interpretations.

Also provided is a brief history of the tarot and other information and resources to support you with your tarot studies. "I love the fresh, bold style of The Rosebud Tarot, the renaming of many of the Majors (High Priestess is the Witch, Empress is Lifegiver, Hierophant is the Professor, etc.), and how the court cards have been transformed into four tiers of energies (Curiosity, Velocity, Generosity, Sovereignty).

The Rosebud Tarot is sure to appeal to the up-and-coming generation of tarot readers." -Benebell Wen, author of The Holistic Tarot
