According to the packaging for the Santa Fe Tarot Deck and Book Set, the Navajo followed the "Path of Beauty" to create harmony and balance in their lives. The designers of the Santa Fe Tarot, Holly Huber (illustrator) and Tracy LeCocq (writer), have built an association between this Path of Beauty and the Tarot with this deck, correlating tarot concepts with Navajo figures and mythology. Huber and LeCocq use the symbology, mythology and traditional art form of sand painting in the 78-card tarot deck to share Navajo ceremonial knowledge.
