Let the wisdom of the world guide your next journey - both inner and outer

Lonely Planet, the global travel expert, is releasing its first-ever tarot deck: Travel Tarot. Blending the art of divination with the spirit of exploration, Travel Tarot invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, and adventure.

Created in collaboration with astrologer and tarot expert Jeff Hinshaw, founder of Cosmic Cousins, Travel Tarot reimagines the classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck through the lens of travel. Each of the 78 beautifully illustrated cards connects to a destination around the globe, chosen intuitively and grounded in the deep symbolism of tarot's archetypes. From sacred sites and natural wonders to bustling cities and remote landscapes, the deck reflects a deeper meaning to the places we'd like to visit, offering reflection, direction, and inspiration.

Packaged in a beautifully designed box, Travel Tarot includes a 96-page guidebook that helps readers explore:

• Tarot as a travel companion, cultivating a mindful and meaningful tarot practice
• How to conduct readings for reflection, direction, and inspiration
• The structure of the tarot deck and the symbolism behind each card
• Destination pairings that bring each card's message to life

Featured Tarot Cards:

• Three of Cups (Isle of Skye, Scotland): A celebration of friendship and joyful reunions, the Three of Cups encourages communal gatherings that cultivate gratitude.
• The Star (Blue Lagoon, Iceland): The Star often appears after a period of hardship, signalling a time for deep renewal.
• Knight of Cups (River Boyne, Ireland): Driven by noble causes, the Knight of Cups is on a mystical journey of love and transformation.
• Two of Swords (Lake Bled, Slovenia): Balancing head and heart, the Two of Swords encourages deep contemplation and meditation
• Six of Pentacles (Otavalo, Ecuador): Balancing nurturance with practicality, the Six of Pentacles speaks to the importance of generosity and reciprocity in daily life
• Knight of Wands (Simpson Desert, Australia): Confident and bold, the Knight of Wands is an adventurer who takes the road less travelled

Travel Tarot is the ultimate gift or self-purchase for anyone seeking enlightenment, inspiration, or direction on their next big adventure. Whether an experienced tarot reader or curious beginner, this deck is a guide to where you need to be.
