Welcome to the enchanting wintry world of the Snowland Deck! In this fantastical realm, sparkling snow creatures live alongside humans while magnificent beasts wend their way through icy landscapes, fluffy flurries, bracing winds and shimmering aurora borealis. Not all is chilly in the Snowland Deck however, for this place shivers with the touch of magic—so blazing fireplaces, cozy comforts, sweet treats, warm abodes and steaming mugs of cocoa also find expression in these cards.
The Snowland Deck consists of 78 large cards (3.5 x 5.5 inches) + 4 Significator cards graced with eye-popping color, and comes with a hand-sewn bag with your choice of fabric.
Ron Boyer painted each of these images on hand-cut gessoed wood with acrylics, in collaboration with his wife, Tarot expert/author Janet Boyer (Back in Time Tarot, Tarot in Reverse, Tarot Basics, Hall of Fame Amazon/Vine Reviewer, etc.).
The Snowland Deck can be viewed as:
•An Unbound Book – Each card tells a tale, but you’re the one that tells the story and decides how (and if) it ends. As you change, so do the images.
•A Bridge – When there are gaps in communication or understanding, these cards can help you connect the dots for increased harmony, empathy and clarity.
•An Idea Generator – Each image features myriad symbols and questions begging to be explored. When you’ve hit a wall, pull a card to discover a magical door that opens to endless possibilities.
•An Oracle – If you have questions—and ask them with an open heart and engaged mind—these images will help you find answers.
•A Set of Glasses – To gain a fresh perspective, don a different set of glasses. Each “lens” in this deck offers new ways being, feeling and interpreting. If you don’t like the view, change what you’re looking at by trying on new ways of seeing.
•A Well – Whether you need to dip into the waters of creativity or draw deeply from your soul, this deck can slake your spiritual thirst and saturate the arid parts of your soul.
•A Compass – These images can help you find your own True North, as well as protective, supportive boundaries for the mental, emotional, energetic, material and spiritual realms.

How can to use the Snowland Deck? You can draw cards at random, face down, or you can consciously choose which card/s you want to focus upon. You can draw one card or several cards. You can use spreads (also known as card layouts) that are included in this book or are found elsewhere. You can use the keywords provided to inspire you, or ignore them altogether. You can allow the images to “speak” to you. In fact, you can even create your own card meanings based on what you feel and see.
Some say music is the universal language, but it could be argued that pictures serve this purpose. Ancient peoples carved and painted images on cave walls, bones, rocks, animal hides, wood, tombs and papyrus. Simple pictographs and symbols evolved into elaborate murals and painted epics. With decks like the Snowland Deck, multiple symbols and motifs are imbedded in each image, providing manifold interpretations.
The Snowland Deck can be carried in a purse, briefcase, backpack, messenger bag, tote, pocket or pouch. It’s a portable oracle, brainstorming device and inspirational tool. It can be used in schools, homes, churches, spiritual centers, hospitals, medical offices, libraries and conference rooms. Given its theme, this deck would be particularly appropriate for ski resorts and lodges!
