From the back of the box:
This deck offers a glimpse inside the unique mind of American artist, Moksha Kusa Marquardt. These 48 cards feature original paintings that span a 10 year shamanic quest to investigate and illustrate the living spirit that embodies the plant and animal world. The symbolism of this work is rich and powerful and invites the viewer to contemplate their own relationship with the mysterious, ever-changing, all-embracing, great spirit of nature. On the back of each card is a snippet of wisdom to match the image as well as a brief description of the painting.

This deck of cards documents a ten year journey into the unknown. It tells a story of self discovery and of rebirth. It is a kind of photo album where the images were captured through the lens of a human soul, with open heart and mind tuned in to the undulating, beautiful and deeply mysterious spirit of mother nature.
This work is a humble attempt to honor this sometimes subtle spirit which shows itself in infinite ways, eternally dancing through the lights and shadows of life, sculpting a world that is seen and unseen and always vastly beautiful, raw and unpredictable.
An underlying theme in this deck is the balance of life and death, and the observation that nature does not discriminate, and all life is eventually churned under by the wheels of creation and born again as something new...
**There is no booklet with this deck, it was designed to be as simple as possible so that the cards can stand on their own, with the hope that the user of the deck would draw from their own personal experience to fill in the blanks.
