Book SynopsisBetween the 17th and 19th centuries, many Indigenous Americans and people of African descent intermarried and socialized more often than is acknowledged by mainstream history books and scholars. These interactions produced not only a multicultural people but also a body of knowledge that is known today as Hoodoo or Rootwork. Celebrating the complex American Rootwork tradition, The Hoodoo Tarot integrates esoteric and botanical knowledge from Hoodoo with the divination system of the Tarot. Structured like a traditional Tarot deck, each of the 78 cards features full-color paintings by magical-realist artist Katelan Foisy and elegantly interprets the classical Tarot imagery through depictions of legendary rootworkers past and present as well as important Hoodoo symbolism. In the accompanying guidebook, Tayannah Lee McQuillar provides a history of Hoodoo and its complex heritage, including its roots in multiple African and Indigenous American ethnic groups as well as its European influences. She explores the traditional forms of divination used by rootworkers, including cartomancy, explaining how pairing the Tarot with Hoodoo is a natural fit. For each card in the Major Arcana and the four suits of the Minor Arcana (sticks, baskets, needles, and knives), McQuillar provides an in-depth card meaning that draws on both Tarot and Hoodoo tradition. She shares the history of the rootworker or symbol featured, any associated magical plants, a related scriptural quote, and guidance and advice based on the card’s meaning. She also offers instructions on card spreads and shares sample card readings. Offering a divination system rooted in the Indigenous and African experience in North America, The Hoodoo Tarot provides a hands-on way to honor and explore the magic of Hoodoo for personal growth and spiritual inspiration.Trade Review"In keeping with the roots of Hoodoo, this powerfully-illustrated tarot deck is organized along the lines of an extended family. Elders comprise the Major Arcana, the family inhabits the court cards, and the rest of the Minor Arcana reflects the community and mundane life. Many readers will buy this deck for Foisy’s truth-is-strength illustrations. With use, I think they will discover layers of insight into their personal lineage, regardless of their ethnicity." * Anna Jedrziewski, TarotWise.com *“Tayannah Lee McQuillar and Katelan V. Foisy have given contemporary medicine people in the Americas and beyond a rare and special gift. The in-depth research, interviews, and life experience of both practitioners shine like a beacon through this divination tool, helping us ground our practices in historical precedent and tried-and-true wisdom. Nothing has been lost that cannot be found.” * Chiron Armand, founder of Impact Shamanism and a trained hoodoo root doctor *“. . . dispels common notions and myths about the meaning and origin of Hoodoo Tarot. I recommend that anyone--scholar or lay--who has interest in the practice of tarot and the complicated cosmos that it represents read this book. It is an insightful view of a people and practices that are mired in controversy and misunderstanding.” * Stephen C. Finley, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies at *"I don’t know where to begin with this review. I have received, and purchased, many tarot and oracle decks throughout the years, but I don’t think I have ever learned as much as I did from The Hoodoo Tarot by Tayannah Lee McQuillar." * The Magical Buffet *"The Hoodoo Tarot was made with care and consideration and it shows. I recommend this deck if you have an interest in both Tarot and Hoodoo, are looking for a deck showing diverse people from various backgrounds, crave a perspective closer to your roots or spiritual path or just want to learn more about Hoodoo. Highly Recommended." * Larissa Carlson Viana, FacingNorth.net *"The first thing I did upon opening these cards was to start taking photos of them to send them to my friends. I was absolutely amazed by the incredible artwork of this tarot. Both beautiful and haunting, the deck transported me to another world, telling me stories and taking me to unknown places until the moment that they revealed themselves to be parts of my subconscious. I am sure I am going to be dreaming about them when I go to bed. The images just stuck inside my mind for the rest of the day." * Aurora, Pagan Dawn Magazine *Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION A Culture, an Inheritance, and a Rebellion What Is Hoodoo The Origin of Hoodoo The Forms of Divination Traditionally Used in Hoodoo Getting to Know the Hoodoo Tarot The Elders, the Family, and the Community The Tools Card Images, Plants, and Bible Quotes Positive and Negative Community Cards Hoodoo Spreads and Sample Readings “See ‘Bout Your Folks” Ancestor Spread “See ‘Bout Your Folks” Ancestor Reading “Don’t Put That Thang on Me” Catch a Trick Spread “Don’t Put That Thang on Me” Catch a Trick Reading “The Right Doc” Spread “The Right Doc” Reading “Gonna Catch a Bird” Relationship Spread “Gonna Catch a Bird” Relationship Reading CARD MEANINGS The Elders (Major Arcana) 0 The Free Man I Black Herman II Miss Ida III The Big Queen IV John Horse V Bishop C.

Book SynopsisFind precise answers to your urgent questions—The Big Book of Tarot Meanings takes you beyond typical, generic card meanings by breaking each card down into eight interpretation categories. Interpreting card meanings is the most exciting aspect of reading tarot. However, it is also the most challenging, especially if you are new to the art. For example, basic tarot interpretation would have you understand that The Lovers card has to do with relationships—but what if your question had to do with career or health? How are you left to interpret the meaning? The Big Book of Tarot Meanings solves these dilemmas by breaking down each card into the eight most-queried categories, starting with Beginnings and ending with Outcome, with a meaning for each category, upright and reversed. No longer will you have to vaguely extrapolate meaning and insight for diverse questions from the same generic description often given in otheTrade Review"For those intimidated by tarot card spreads, this book empowers users to simply choose cards and read their meanings. It includes action-based interpretations of upright and reversed cards for beginnings, career, money, love, friends and family, health, higher guidance, and outcome. Card descriptions and illustrations are based on the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, though the interpretations work for any tarot deck." * School Library Journal *"Beautifully illustrated, accessibly comprehensive, informed and informative, The Big Book of Tarot Meanings provides an ideal introduction to the science and art of Tarot reading." * Midwest Book Review *Table of ContentsIntroductionTarot BasicsHow to Use This BookPART 1 The Major ArcanaPART 2 The Minor ArcanaChapter 1 The Suit of CupsChapter 2 The Suit of WandsChapter 3 The Suit of SwordsChapter 4 The Suit of PentaclesAbout the AuthorAcknowledgmentsResourcesIndex

Book SynopsisLegend has it that when preparing props for the James Bond film Live and Let Die, producer Albert Broccoli commissioned Surrealist maestro Salvador Dalí to create a custom deck of tarot cards. Inspired by his wife Gala, who nurtured his interest in mysticism, Dalí eagerly got to work, and continued the project of his own accord when the contractual deal fell through. The work was published in a limited art edition in 1984 that has since long sold out, making Dalí the first renowned painter to create a completely new set of cards. Drawing on Western masterpieces from antiquity to modernity (including some of his own), Dalí seamlessly combined his knowledge of the arcane with his unmistakable wit. The result is a surreal kaleidoscope of European art history. TASCHEN resurrects all 78 cards in a fresh celebration of Dalí’s inimitable custom set, complete with a booklet by renowned German tarot author Johannes Fiebig offering an introduction to Dalí’s life and the project’s making-of, a comprehensive explanation of each card’s composition, its meaning, and practical advice, step-by-step instructions on how to perform readings, and a jargon-free approach simplifying tarot for the newcomer.Trade Review“Searching for an artistic reading? You’ll certainly find it here – and they won’t look half bad on your shelf, either.” * gq-magazine.co.uk *“Tarot cards with some major art clout.” * Harper’s Bazaar *“This set has class.” * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *“Images of classic art and Christian symbolism with a signature Dalí twist... a very surreal deck of cards.” * smithsonianmag.com *“With a revitalized public interest in alternative spiritualities that reach beyond the patriarchies of monotheistic religions, this tarot feels more relevant than ever.” * dazeddigital.com *
