And il is dedicated ta you... when you were but a small child. THE LITTLE PRINCE TAROT The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry is a classic tale for children ages one to one hundred that has touched the hearts and minds of genera- tions since its publication in 1943. It is a profound story of a pilot stranded in the middle of a desert who meets a tiny traveler of the stars, a spirit be- tween worlds, beyond time and space. In the pro- cess of this magical and unlikely [riendship, our natrator recliscovers his own inner child—and we, as teaders, are invited and inspired to do the same In our life hete on this Earth, we have a choice. Much like the Aviator, we can choose to labor and toil all day long to fix our proverbial broken-down planes, feeling alone in the desert, yearning for wa- ter, fidgeting with bolis—the stress of "grown-up" Matters at times goes on and on. But there is a light in all this. Like the Little Prince, we can choose to stop during the hustle and bustle of life. To draw a sheep, to speak to the flowers, to gaze up at the stars, and to wonder. Ta remember. Therein we find our love, our heart, our purpose, and the true real- ity In the words of the wise Fox, “One only sees 3clearly with the heart; anything essential is invisible to the eyes.” The Little Prince embodies all the wonders that we as “strange grown-ups’ all too often forget: We can see the stars as merely little lights, to be counted and assessed...or they can become for us a blue- print as we take pause to "wonder if the stars are lit so each of us can find his own someday.” The choice is ours to remember. To cherish. To love. While we are still here. Like the Little Prince, we all are very fragile and so .oo must travel on. But when we do, we should search for beauty, love, and friendship along our journey, always. The Little Prince is an excellent reminder of this high truth; it provides people with a moment to “check in” and engage with the deeper meaning of life. And so, too, is the nature of tarot. In this deck, the tumeless story of The Little Prince is combined with the magic and insight brought forth by the seventy-eight images olf tarot. In the medita- tive practice of tarot reading, we are given a chance to reflect on the many faces and facets of the human experience. And in this process, we have an oppor- tunity to rediscover our own Little Prince, our inner child. Here we remember and honor the beauty of sunsets, and tend to our relationships like flowers. In the Little Prince Tarot, readers and seekers of all ages are given the opportunity to reflect on the universal truths and lessons presented not only by tarot itself but by Saint-Exupeéry’s timeless charac- ters who give so much room for inner reflection and interpretation. In what ways have we evolved into these “strange grown-ups”? And how can we attune 4our spirits so that we rediscover our light, journey- ing from high atop mountains to faraway stars? The wise fox and the mysterious snake are calling, “What makes a desert beautiful is that it hides a well somewhere,” and what makes tarot beautiful is that it “[hides| a secret in the depths of its heart.” That secret is the power of self-awareness and guid- ance. In the words of The Little Prince, “Eyes are blind; you have to look with the heart.” Tarot is a key of sell-diseovery. “What makes things [beauti- full is invisible.” Enjoy the journey with laughter and love. THREE-CARD LAYOUT Like the Little Prince, this deck is designed to take you ona journey of self-discovery. Experiment with athree-card spread. (p.2) 1. Where you are now (Are you being a “strange grown-up"?). 2. Where you would like to travel to along your journey (‘What “planet”? What “star”?). 3. How your inner self can best lead you along that path (What dees your inner “Little Prince” say to you?). THE MAJOR ARCANA The Major Arcana is an illustrated depiction of the souls journey. It is the universe defined in pictorial form, with incredible depth of meaning and spirit. It is.a map to the deeper meanings and workings of life and the grand design. 50. The Fool: The Fool is youthful innocence and exuberance. It is the inner child in all of us, moving forward without a care in the world into new be- ginnings. Life is beauty, and ignorance is bliss. The conscious mind knows not the secrets and truths held deep in the subconscious, 1. The Magician: The Magician, or Magus, is the part of all of us who is one with the great mysteries of the universe. In perfect harmony and alchemy, creation and transformation brought forth via the magic of your own soul IL The High Priestess: The High Priestess is the subconscious rising up te the fore.

Strength: “Please, tame me!” Strength is all about allowing yourself to be led and inspired by the larger forces around you. Sometimes it takes more strength to be vulnerable, to be cared for, to be held. 1X. The Hermit: The Astronomer chooses a path all his own as he plots his course toward discovery, and here we are invited to do the same as we look deep within to find our own light. Its time to shut out the noise and do your own thing. X. The Wheel of Fortune: The Wheel of Fortune Universal Law, as it spins and turns, to show us the way, Up, down, and all around—where will you land? Where the balance is found? Stay centered, XL.

Temperance: Temperance is transition with great care, It is time to listen closely to your angels, through prayer, meditation, and intuition.

Dance the great dance as the stars laugh and smile for you!This is the suit of the soul and the spirit. It is also the suit of fire, The Wands suit is reflected in the season of spring, where life bursts forth in color and beauty, resurrected and renewed. When we look at the Wands suit, so too is our soul and inner spirit called to the fore, to manifest and blossom forth. The Little Prince's enigmatic and mysteriously wise Snake character is featured prominently here. Ace of Wands: A yellow Snake curls around a wand with budding green leaves that runs the en- tire height of the card. The Ace of Wands invites our innermost spirit along a new path—a spiritual journey awakens and the sacred serpent calls us to shed our skin and renew. Two of Wands: The Little Prince climbs a moun- tain and calls out in search of company, newly land- ed on planet Earth. The Two of Wands is all about assessing your world, gaining your bearings, plot- ting your course, and seeking out stability—your dominion. Three of Wands: The Little Prince tends the three volcanoes on Asteroid B-612 (three representations of the element of fre). While the Two of Wands in- vites us to seek out a spiritual space, the Three of Wands calls us to really cultivate our journey and establish ourselves and create as we watch our ships sail (or tend to our breakfast!). Four of Wands: The Little Prince and Fox play together in a field of golden wheat. The Four of Wands is about satisfaction and enjoyment alter the “work” of the Three of Wands establishes a spiritual 9space. [ts almost like a finish line, where we can find rest and respite. Establish a spiritual practice and relish in it. Rejoice! Five of Wands: The Aviator confronts the Snake, with the Little Prince up on the ledge, The Five of Wands is spiritual conflict and struggle that is nec- essary for growth and change. It doesn't always feel so nice or like a “learning experience” the time of conflict, but it is necessary nonetheless Six of Wands: Through conflict comes victory! The Aviator fixes his plane. The Six of Wands de- picts spiritual victory after conflict, We begin again anew, with a newlound sense of self and spiritual awareness, Seven of Wands: The Lamplighter works on his tiny planet. The Seven of Wands depicts a con- flict of opposing spiritual forces. The established strength and victory of the Six of Wands is tested in the Seven, just like the Lamplighter is put to the test to keep his light shining, we all are tested to keep our soul alive amid adverse conditions. Eight of Wands: The Lamplighters of the world work together to light the planet Earth. The Fight of Wands is about charging forward quickly, pro- gressing away from and resolving any conflict that arose in the Seven of Wands. Full steam ahead as the fire bums stronger than ever before, fueled by the momentum of destiny and love. Nine of Wands: The Little Prince looks upward at a sky filled with stars, Surfacing from the ti- als faced during the course of the Wands suit, we emerge with great strength and self-knowledge in 10the Nine of Wands. This card is all about standing tall, strong, and aware of our mission. Ten of Wands: The Little Prince falls as the Snake strikes at his heel. When faced with the true nature of our own power, we can sometimes feel over- whelmed by what an enormous responsibility we have to evolve, grow, learn, anc most of all tend to the matters of the spirit, Not for the faint of heart! The Ten of Wands captures this in essence. It is the full realization of one’s purpose, which requires some heavy lifting at times but in the end produces transformation and true meaning. CUPS The Cups suit is about the emotions and the heart. It is the experience of love, of true friendship, of telationship, of agape. It is also the suit of the el- ement of water. The Cups suit is reflected in the season of the summer, so think “summer love" when reflecting on the cards, When we look at the Cups suit, it is time te consider love and passion: relationships and matters of the heart. The Little Princes love, his Rose, is our inspiration. Think sofmess. Think relationships. Or better yet, don't think—feel. Ace of Cups: A shining, gold Cup radiates in the middle of a might sky filled with stars, “I must en- dure the presence of a few caterpillars if | wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.” The Ace of Cups represents a new development or growth in our emotional self, a new love. The transformation of new emations rising from within. llTwo of Cups: The Little Prince leans forward to water his Rose, using a shining gold Cup. The Two of Cups represents balance in relationships and love. Healing, harmonious energy. Three of Cups: The Little Prince, the Aviator, and the Fox all joyfully gather around a well in the des- en. The Three of Cups is a card of friendship. The balance experienced in the Two of Cups expands out further as relationships take shape and form with multiple levels and different dimensions. Four of Cups: The Rose sits under glass, and the Lit- tle Prince leans toward her, carrying the screen and a cup, attentively. The Four of Cups indicates a time when we must find love on our own terms, in our own way. We may not be ready to receive blessings from the outside; it is a time to find contentment in our own selves, which sometimes comes along with a bit of apathy toward the outside world. Here the Rose is “shutting out” the Prince for her own reasons. Five of Cups: Longing for his Rose, the Little Prince lays down by a golden field and weeps. The Five af Cups captures loss of love, loss of a relationship, loss of pleasure. But if only we could change our perspective and see our experience from a different angle, then perhaps we would nat be so sad... Six of Cups: “Please...draw me a sheep...” The Little Prince joyfully receives the Aviators drawing of a sheep (in a box). A generally happy cand, the Six of Cups is about pleasure and harmony: A pleas- ant exchange of energy: Seven of Cups:The Railwayman changes tracks and sends multiple trains in new directions. The Seven 12of Cups represents choice or a mystical vision. It is all about choice. The desire to move forward but indecision regarding how exactly to proceed, Eight of Cups: The Eight of Cups recalls the story of the salesclerk selling pills to cure thirst and the Little Prince’ reaction to him. (“If | had fifty-three minutes to spend as liked, I'd walk very slowly to- ward a water fountain.”) Onward and upward! This card challenges us to move on past our indecision to find our new happiness. It is a card of transition, leaving behind what no longer serves us to explore uncharted territary, Nine of Cups: The Little Prince stands in the center of the card, beaming happiness and joy. The Nine of Cups is all about finding joy within our own selves and wishes fulfilled, Radiant joy and healing, Ten of Cups: Back on Asteroid B-612, the Little Prince, his Rose, the Sheep, and the Fox all dance joyfully and play. Their faces light up with glee. The Ten of Cups is the happy family card, The inner joy found in the Nine of Cups is expressed outward, forming the foundation for emotional peace and harmony with all relations, It is gratitude, love, perfection, and securiry, It also represents the full culmination of the Cups suit, so feel those high- energy emotions and love. Dance in the rays of the starry sky! SWORDS The Swords suit is about the intellect and the mind. Beware—ihe Lith Prince reminds us of the limi- tations of solely relying on the process of thought, 13(“The eyes are blind; you have to look with the heart.") The intellect can be a source of divisive- ness, and our thoughts, while strongly influential over our daily activities, can at times make lots of trouble for us! At the same time, there are valuable lessons to be learned through intelligence, cun- ning, and reason—the sheer power of thought. The season of fall is both bitter and beautiful. Such is the complexity of the suit of the element of air, The Little Princes Fox, a tovern traditionally associated with intelligence and wit, as our inspiration. Ace of Swords: The Fox sits poised behind the Sword, with his eyes piercing through us. He is ready to snatch a chicken while the hunter is dis- tracted. The Ace of Swords is a new frame of mind, anew way of thinking, a new thought process— whether positive or negative. Two of Swords: The Little Prince sits with his yel- low searf whipping to the right in the wind and covering his eyes, obstructing his vision, The Two of Swords represents the restoration of balance be- tween the heart and the mind, Justice is blind, and in achieving our balance, we must remain impartial Three of Swords: A deep red Rose appears with three Swords tearing through it. The Three of Swords represents an imbalance between the heart and the mind, and a decision must be made. This can be a painful process. The balance (and perhaps blissful ignorance) of the Two of Swords is lost, and we are left with a struggle between head and heart. Four of Swords: The Fox hides down in his bur- row while the chaos of a hunt ensues. Give it a rest! The Four of Swords is a time when we take a break i+from our troubles—whether we want to or mot— and put our mind at ease for the time being. Five of Swords: The Fox creeps into a chicken coop to attack a scared and notably flustered chick- en. The feathers will fly! The Five of Swords rep- resents mental turmoil, defeat, and strife. This is a high energy card representing a time of high mental activity and racing thoughts, There’ a certain level of anxiety here. Six of Swords: The Aviator protectively caries the exhausted Little Prince across a barren desert toward the well. The Six of Swords represents safe passage from one state of mind to another, some- times aided by powerful forces that exist beyond the tealm of the mind (the spirit, the soul). The struggle of the Five of Swords is left behind, and peace is restored. Seven of Swords: The Little Ponce struggles to tame the animal nature of the Fox. The Seven of Swords is a time where we move forward with a certain degree of instability and perhaps secrecy It will take some effort for us to tame our mind and subdue our negative thoughts, This can be a con- fusing time. Eight of Swords: The Litle Prince and the Fox sit anxiously perched on top of the ledge, with the Snake lunging toward them menacingly. The Eight of Swords represents a time where the slow and (unsteady progress of the Seven of Swords comes to a screeching halt and we are faced with limita- tion. We may feel trapped in a maze and unable to proceed. It is a stagnant time. 15Nine of Swords: The drunkard sits among piles of bottles, weeping. The Nine of Swords is despair. Cruelty. Pain. Anguish, Disappoinement. But some- times it is always darkest before dawn. It is only when we reach the point of breakdown that we can begin ourselves up again, searching anew to reach our highest light. Ten of Swords: Three Baobab trees engulf a planet and it begins to crack and break apart. Sometimes at the point of exhaustion, there is no choice but to let go and give ourselves up completely, resign- ing ourselves to the fact that through crisis comes strength. Carl Jung states: “It is from need and dis- tress that new forms of existence arise, and not from idealistic requirements or mete wishes.” That is the essence of the Ten of Swords. COINS The Coins suit represents the body and the physical world. It is also the suit of earth. lt rep- resents the season of winter, a time of reflection and introspection to bring forth abundance in the material realm. When we look at the Coins suit, we are invited to explore earthly endeavors and the more day-to-day aspects of our lives. Think about the material realm. Think plant life and greenery. The Little Princes Sheep character is Our inspiration, Ace of Coins: A sheep walks in a desert landscape. He sniffs at a single sprouting flower. The Ace of Coins marks a new pattern, form, or endeavor in the physical realm. 16Two of Coins: The Aviator sits in front of his bro- ken plane, with a wrench in one hand and his drawing of a “hat* (the elephant trapped in a snake) in the other. The Two of Coins represents a time where there are two tasks at hand and balance must be achieved. It also indicates seemingly polar oppo- sites that interplay together. ‘Yin and yang. Three of Coins: As a child, the young Aviator sketches boa constrictors. The Three of Coins chal- lenges us to work passionately, doing what we love mest, Tt asks us to find our purpose and explore it, even in the face of outside forces that can influence or deter our work. Four of Coins: The businessman counts the stars so that he can own them and lock them away: The Four of Goins is all about ownership and posses- siveness, It is holding on to material goods or power for oneself. This is not necessarily always nega- tive—all things in balance. Five of Coins: The Prince and the Aviator wan- der through the desert, haggard and desperate. You cant always get what you want, The Five of Coins represents a time of hardship, struggle, and trouble in the material realm. It is a time of worry and stress. Six of Coins: The Aviator draws a sheep for the Little Prince, who stands looking wp at him expec- tantly The Six of Coins is about material success and the exchange of energy. Here we take all the drive and ambition of the Three of Coins and shate our works with others. It is a card of inclusion—we are able to share the bounty of our hard work. lySeven of Coins: The Little Prince toils away, gar- dening baby Baobabs. The Seven of Coins reflects some delay, waiting, or lack of inspiration. It truly tests the patience of even the calmest individual. This is hard work that hasn't yet paid off, Eight of Coins: The Little Prince gardens his Rose as she prepares to bloom. The Eight of Coins chal- lenges us to use our skills for rewards and success in earthly endeavors. We begin to see just a little bir of the bounty from our hard work. And it feels great! Nine of Coins: The Little Prince joyfully skips through the rose garden. Enjoying the fruits of our labor. The Nine of Coins is about loving our world, and loving what we do in it. It is a card of flourish- ing and growth, Ten of Coins: The Aviator, the Sheep, and the Lit- tle Prince stand in front of the plane, smiling and laughing. The full culmination of the Coins suit, the Ten of Coins invites us to bask in the glow of our hard work and enjoy lasting security, Happy family. Wealth. Support.

Il s‘agit de l'histoire profonde d'un aviateur qui, a la suite d'une panne de moteur, doit se poser en catastrophe en plein désen. Cest la qu'il rencontre un petit explorateur d’é.oiles, un esprit entre les mondes, hors du temps et de l'es- pace. Alors que cette amitié magique et improbable se développe peu a peu, notre narrateur redécouvre son enfant intérieur - et nous, lecteurs, sommes invi- tés et inspirés a faire de méme. Pour reprendre les mors sages du Renard: «On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, Lessentiel est invisible pour les yeux. » Dans ce jeu, lhistaire intermporelle du Petit Prince est combinée a la magie et 4 l'intuition qui sont suggérées par soixante-dix-huit images de cartes de tarot. La pratique méditative du tirage du tarot donne l'occasion de réfléchir aux multiples aspects et facettes de fexpérience humaine. Or, dans cette progression, nous avons la possibilité de medécou- wnir notre Petit Prince personnel, notre enfant iné- rieur. Ici, nous remémorons et nous honarons la beauté des couchers de soleil, nous prenons soin de nos relations comme si elles étaient des Meurs.
