This book and 79-card deck, the first tarot to celebrate African-American culture, captures the spirit and imagery of African, West Indian, and Catholic Voodoo influences. Ancient and earth-honoring Voodoo practices take on a variety of forms specific to a particular time and place, but their essence remains centered on the loa - powerful spiritual forces of Voodoo that manifest directly through people and their actions. The authors draw strong parallels between the Waite and Thoth tarots, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and the Voodoo tradition practiced in New Orleans.

This book and 79-card deck, the first tarot deck to celebrate African-American culture, captures the spirit and imagery of African, West Indian, and Catholic Voodoo influences. Ancient and earth-honoring Voodoo practices take on a variety of forms specific to a particular time and place, but their essence remains centered on the loa—the powerful spiritual forces of Voodoo that manifest directly through people and their actions. The authors draw strong parallels between the Waite and Thoth tarots, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and the Voodoo tradition practiced in New Orleans. Just as the Tarot’s major and minor arcana reflect archetypes of the human psyche and the forces of nature in our world, the Voodoo loa embody the primal energies of the universe. Using a variety of interpretations and readings, the authors show how the Tarot can become a conduit through which the loa exercise their powers to teach, counsel, and initiate serious disciples into their mysteries.
