Trading the Tarot's Warning Cards for Affirmations

The Good Tarot is a seventy eight card deck created by intuitive counsellor Colette Baron-Reid with artwork by Jena DellaGrottaglia, published by Hay House in 2017. It keeps the standard structure of twenty two Major Arcana and fifty six Minor Arcana cards across four suits, renamed Earth, Air, Fire and Water for their elements, but recasts every card's printed message as a positive affirmation rather than a traditional divinatory reading, aimed at readers who want the tarot's familiar structure without its harsher warning cards such as the Tower or the Ten of Swords.

That editorial choice, keeping the full traditional card count and sequence while rewriting every card's message toward encouragement rather than warning, sets The Good Tarot apart from decks such as Tarot of the Divine or Modern Witch Tarot that keep the historical interpretive meanings intact and change only the imagery around them. It shares its affirmation focused approach most closely with Guardian Angel Tarot Cards, which also reads upright only for a positive message tied to each card's traditional meaning, though Baron-Reid's deck goes further by replacing the underlying divinatory message itself rather than reframing it through an angelic messenger.
