About this product

Product Information

The first tarot to celebrate an African-American culture, this book and 79-card deck capture both the spirit and the imagery of Voodoo's African, West Indian, and Catholic influences. Ancient and earth-honoring, Voodoo's practices take on different forms specific to time and place, but its essence remains focused on the loa --the potent spiritual forces of Voodoo that are manifested directly through human beings and their actions. The authors draw strong parallels between the Waite and Thoth Tarots, the Kabalistic Tree of Life, and the Voodoo tradition as it is practiced in New Orleans. Just as the major and minor arcana of the Tarot represent the archetypes of the human psyche and the natural forces of our world, so do the loa of Voodoo embody the primal energies of the universe. With a variety of spreads and readings, the authors show how the Tarot can be an idea channel through which the loa exercise their powers to teach, advise, and initiate the serious student into their mysteries.

  • Excellent divination tool!!

    I was able to find several demonstrations on YOUTUBE and several other tarot card deck review sites, this deck has a following, however the price of this decks are getting outrageous!!! IT IS MORE OF AN ORACLE AND DIVINATION DECK , it is some parallels to traditional WAITHE, but its cosmology is based in AFRICAN - IFA ODUA , [Loa- Orisha as transmuted from motherland people from Benin-Congo- as expressed in Haiti and other New World African, in western hemisphere tradition, but Don't Panic ,if you have some basics in symbolic intuition, you should be ok!!!

  • Vibrant deck and book

    I really love this deck. It is truly designed to help one partner with the Loa. It is one of my favorite decks. very happy to have in my collection. Highly recommend it to anyone who feels drawn to it. It is not a typical tarot deck. Grateful to the artist and the Loa.

  • The best tarot in my collection yet!

    I'm new to tarot and I have a total of three decks. As a native New Orleanian, this deck spoke to me naturally. The book does not decode the mysteries of voodoo, but rather syncs a bridge to the esoteric formula and energy of this deck. If you enjoy tarot, don't sleep on adding this beautiful tool to your repertoire.
