Witte Wieven Folklore
In Dutch folklore, the Witte Wieven appear in many forms. Sometimes they are described as misty spirits who confuse or mislead travellers, sometimes as healers, midwives, or wise women. They are closely linked to thresholds, to places between worlds, and to moments of transition such as birth and death. Often they appear in fog, near burial mounds, the hunebedden, swamps, or forest edges. Their stories have no clear interpretation and remain open, shifting, and ambiguous… much like mist itself. Magic of the Netherlands‍ ‍
The tarot deck I am creating will take place in the universe of the Witte Wieven set in the Dutch landscape. We will see Dutch trees such as the knotwilg, animals like the fox, archeological sites such as the hunnebedden and archeological findings like klokbekers, all find their way into the deck. Through this tarot deck I invite people of all walks of life to rediscover the subtle magic hidden in the Netherlands.

Tarot‍ ‍
The deck will be based on the Rider Waite Smith deck and will consist of 78 drawings made with color pencil. This deck aims to bring back a misty, intuitive feminine wisdom, one rooted in softness, listening, and attention to the natural world. It is an invitation to slow down, to tune in, and to return to a quieter centre of the heart that holds the earth.
