The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot Louis Martinie 1992

The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot by Louis Martinie & Sallie Ann Glassman Excellent pre-owned condition, like new Comes with very large softcover 276-page guidebook and cards. 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. 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.
