Cathy McClelland has always had a fascination for symbolism, nature and the mysteries of life and beyond. The tarot system seemed to blend all of these ideas together. As she became more familiar with the imagery of the tarot, she realized how universal the symbolism was within each image of the tarot. The parallel between the tarot symbolism and lessons with the cycles of one's spiritual evolution and the cycles of nature captivated Cathy.
The images depicted on the cards were inspired by meditation, long walks in the woods, nature, his study of tarot and spiritual themes, as well as the influence of different symbols and cultural myths. She draws inspiration from nature, life, and the allure of the mystery of the universe for inspiration, weaving the three into her creations, hoping to inspire others to enjoy the beauty and wonder that the world has to offer.
