Coloring is meditation for people who cannot sit still. The hand is busy, the choices are small and pleasant, the mind has just enough to do that it stops chewing on the day, and at the end there is something to show for it. Adults rediscovered it about a decade ago and never quite put the pencils down. For anyone drawn to witchcraft or tarot there is a further pleasure: spending an hour inside the imagery itself, deciding what color a familiar's eyes should be or how the Empress's gown ought to look, which is a surprisingly good way to get to know a symbol. At Plentiful Earth we carry coloring books that range from gentle stress relief to full witchcraft and tarot themes.

How Can Coloring Be a Magical Practice?
Choose your colors the way you would choose a candle: green for growth, blue for peace, red for courage, gold for success. Set an intention before you begin, color the page with that purpose in mind, and then keep it on your altar, tuck it into a journal, or burn it to release the working. Coloring a tarot card while you study its meaning fixes it in memory far better than reading alone. And a finished page made with care makes a fine handmade gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these coloring books for adults or children?
They are designed for adults, with finer detail than children's books, though older children who enjoy the themes can certainly use them.
What should I color with?
Colored pencils give the most control and do not bleed. Fine-tip markers are brighter but can show through thin paper, so slip a blank sheet behind the page.
Can coloring really reduce stress?
Many people find it does. It is a focused, repetitive, low-stakes activity, which is the same combination that makes knitting and gardening calming.
Can I learn tarot from a coloring book?
It is a good supplement. Coloring each card while reading its meaning helps the symbolism stick. Pair it with a guidebook or a standard deck for readings.
Do these make good gifts?
Yes. Add a tin of pencils and you have a complete, inexpensive gift for anyone with witchy tastes.
