Happy September 1st, everyone! Today is the last day of our 78-Card-a-Day-Countdown to the release of the Llewellyn edition of the Gaian Tarot, which makes today the Gaian Tarot’s official birthday. As my Virgoan friend Lunaea Weatherstone points out, this makes the Gaian Tarot “wise and beautiful and filled with amazing detail and layers of deeper meaning… you just know she’s a Virgo. 
”
September is Blog Deck & Book Tour Month for the Gaian Tarot, and you will find her all over the blogosphere this month. I’ll be posting details soon about the Blog Book Tour schedule. (Oh! here they are!)
To start out with a bang, the Llewellyn Journal is featuring the Gaian Tarot this month, with an interview with me as well as an article I wrote on “Creating the Gaian Tarot.” And . . . the Gaian appears on the cover of the gorgeous Llewellyn New Worlds Catalog.
So, to celebrate the Gaian’s official birthday, I am giving away 3! Free! Copies! of the Gaian Tarot! Here’s how you can win one of them:
1. Leave a comment on this post, OR on the Gaian Tarot Facebook page.
2. Please share this link on your Facebook page or on Twitter, with a tweet something like this: RT @joannapcolbert Raffle! Giving away the Gaian Tarot on Her Birthday! http://ow.ly/6iUXU
3. You can enter until Sunday, September 4th at midnight PST. I will email the winners directly on Monday, September 5th.
Happy Birthday, Gaian Tarot!

I am looking forward to getting this terrific deck!
Happy Birthday sweet Virgo! I’d love to work with this deck, so, when you’re choosing one of the recipients, make sure it’s me!!
You know, I don’t have Virgo in my chart, and I’ve always had a hard time connecting with the Virgo energy, but this! This is making me want to re-examine that. Happy birthday, beautiful, beautiful Gaian Tarot Deck. You have enriched my life and the lives of friends in unexpected and delightful ways.
What Fun! Celebrating this beautiful and life-affirming deck! To Win and Give Away!
And of course, if today is her birthday, then her Soul Card is The Teacher! What could be more perfect?
Blessings and felicitations, all you beautiful 78 Teachers! ♥
Oooooooo!!! Beth! Of course you would think of that! I love it! She IS the Teacher!
Thanks everybody for your good wishes! I wish I had enough decks to give away to you all!
At this point I don’t even remember how I heard about the Gaian Tarot but I have to say it has made a real impact. I have so many decks that I assured myself I would never buy another, but after spending the last 78 days with a card a day image I can’t imagine not owning this deck. As soon as I am employed it will be one of my first purchases! Good luck to all who enter.
The Gaian Tarot is truly the most beautiful deck I’ve ever seen! Cannot wait to actually hold it in my hands and use it!
I, too, am a Virgo!! So excited for you on this release!!

I love this set & think she would, too.
I would love to work with this beautiful deck ! The images are the best that I have ever seen so far, so lifelike …perfect also for meditation and connect to the earth. I would enjoy it for sure.
I’d love to share my winnings!!! Love it!
I love Gaian tarot. Joanna, your story inspires me to keep writing and working on the book I’ve been writing for oh so long. Thank you for living your path.
Congratulations on your deck!
Just ordered a deck yesterday but I can always give one as a gift if I win the raffle!! Looking forward to these beautiful cards.
Gorgeous deck, glad to finally get a chance (even a small one) to possibly see it in person.

I’d be happy to spread the word for you, raffle or no raffle.
Off to Tweet and … what does one call it when we Facebook – “get in people’s FACES?” LOL
Joanna: I truly enjoy your creativity and friendly approach to tarot! Keep up the good work!
Love! I am so glad to see this deck getting so much love and recognition. Happy making!
I love this deck! It makes perfect sense that she’s a Virgo.
Good luck to everyone!
And I’m glad to know about this website.
I’m planning to buy the deck ASAP. It’s so lovely! Wishing you the best of sales and a great future with it!
Wow, this would be GREAT to win! I recently had a dream that I was a card in a tarot deck, lol. This old woman was doing readings for people and no matter who it was, or how much the deck was shuffled, I kept coming up! An interesting dream. I’m trying to remember details of the card I was and create an illustration of it. Whoever wins will be one happy camper, that’s for sure. Good luck!
Do you ship to Spain? I love this Tarot. If I don’t win, I’ll buy it anyway!
Good luck to everyone!
I have shared this on Facebook but would love to win my own.
I look forward to seeing more with this deck and the wonderfuol artwork.

From on methodical, discriminating Virgo to another–Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day–and remember, don’t over analyze the situation. Peace and blessings.

You’ve done us such an exquisite service by working hard to create this layered deck. Hoping to hear from you soon.
And a very Happy Birthday to you! I have Taurus and Capricorn in my chart and am surrounded by Virgos to make up for no Virgo planets! (except the south node heh)
I am grateful for the chance to win a copy of your deck. And would be honored to share your link on my facebook page.
I try to do daily card reading for my friends on Facebook, maybe I could use you deck? And in closing I would like to ask if there will be an application on iTunes for purchase?
Thanks a bunch!!!!
In love and light!!!!
Jennifer Petrus
Thanks so much, everyone!
Jennifer, I’d be honored if you used my deck for a daily card reading on Facebook. You can grab images from my Gaian Tarot website — http://www.gaiantarot.com Please post images that have my copyright symbol on them.
Llewellyn holds the electronic rights, and I have had no news so far about an app. Thanks for asking!
What an awesome way to bring in September! My birth chart has almost no earth in it so I must find other ways to introduce earthiness into my soul. I imagine the Gaian Tarot will help me on my quest.
Happy birthday Gaian Tarot!
So happy the deck is finally out there! I have followed you through the process and marveled at your creativity and the depth of meaning revealed! Blessings.
Your deck is beautiful…I am looking forward to owning my own soon whether won or purchased…Happy Birthday Gaian Tarot!!!
What a beautiful deck!
Beautiful deck! I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Congratulations on making the cover! Look forward to getting my hands on this deck in the near future, one way or another

I have truly enjoyed reading the daily card countdown. Happy Birthday Gian Tarot!
I have shared my copy of the limited edition with so many people and now I’m excited for the upcoming weekend intensive AND to get a 2nd copy. Good luck to everyone in the draw!
I have been waiting patiently all summer for this to come out. Congratulations!
My father is a Virgo Nd Virgo is in my South Node, so needless to say, I have some Virgo energy to grapple with in this lifetime. Wish I could say that I love Virgo energy, but its more truthful to say that I appreciate it for its many lessons. Bless it all!
I’ve enjoyed your inspiring blog for several years; following along as you created the Gaian Tarot Deck. I am just a beginner and would love to have Gaian Tarot deck as I learn.
Congratulations Joanna! Good luck to all….
NICE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIAN!!
I’d like to enter the giveaway!!
Good luck to me!! Ü

Your posts are always so inspiring!
Joanna, I would be so thrilled to win this deck. It is the perfect addition to my small collection. I live in B.C. so I really resonate with the Pacific Northwest-y-nish of it. Warm wishes! Have a fantastic tour! Shonna
I’ve been watching the creation of this deck via the internet for a while now, and I really love and admire the artwork and symbolism. It would make me really happy to have a Gaian tarot deck!
Happy birthday, Gaian Tarot, and congratulations Joanna! Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of your spirit in this magnificent creation! This deck is a blessing to all of us!
Happy birthday, Gaian Tarot! And congrats to you on the official release!
I would love to receive this deck. I’m also a Virgo and am planning on buying it anyway with any birthday money that I receive. But, it would be wonderful to win it!
Happy Birthday to you, Joanna and your beautiful Gaian Tarot Deck.
Can I add how much I love to win your deck!! It can be an early mommy to be present for myself, I’m expecting my first baby on Christmas Eve.
The High Priestess spoke to me when I was contemplating whether or not to study to be a High Priestess. It was early morning, still dark outside, and I was in turmoil over taking this very important step. An owl, whom I fondly called Athena, hooted several times. I knew my answer, but still was hesitant. When my first lesson arrived, I was instructed to meditate on a tarot card. My teacher showed me the HPS card, from this tarot deck. I was floored because there was the owl getting ready to rest on the HPS’ shoulder. My answer was confirmed. Happy Birthday. Blessed be, Moondancer.
Cathy, what a wonderful story! Thank you!
And . . . . . . the 3 Gaian Tarot decks go to:
- Shell (congrats on your baby!!!)
- Aphrodiastes le Fay
- Indigene Gaskin
Yay!!!!!
I pulled these 3 names “out of the hat” from folks who commented here and on the GT Facebook page. Thank you all so much!
YEAH! HOORAY! I’m jumping with joy! Thank you so much, Joanna! I’ve followed up with a private email. Thanks again!
I have read tarot cards for 30 years now and am always interested in new sets that emerge, seemingly when they need to!
I would love to have a set of this new one.
I followed the development on this deck through your website, all the way through, and I’m so excited it’s finally available! It is the most beautiful, life-affirming deck I’ve ever seen.
Happy belated birthday! Annoyed that I missed the raffle
