About the author
Carol Bridges is the creator of the Medicine Woman Tarot deck and its accompanying guidebook, both published by U.S. Games Systems. "Medicine Woman Inner Guidebook" (2002) accompanies the "Medicine Woman Tarot Deck," offering interpretive support for the deck's seventy-eight images, which depict women of power and men of love as an illustration of balance and strength across genders. According to the publisher's introduction, the deck honors the earth and moves through the seasons and their associated powers as an organizing structure, distinguishing it from more conventional tarot imagery rooted in European esoteric tradition. Bridges's work is aimed squarely at tarot readers and collectors, particularly those drawn to nature-based or earth-honoring symbolism rather than the standard Rider-Waite-Smith lineage. The guidebook and deck are sold as a paired set intended for use together rather than the guidebook standing alone.
