Hey ya'll,
I'm so excited to be working on my first deck. I've been having the itch for months now and since I have an art show I'm in, I decided to make the cards. the original work is on 14x17 bristol and is mixed media.
As I've progressed in my tarot journey, I longed for a deck that had representations of me. But most decks that feature black people or POC in general always have a heavy leaning towards traditional African religions (Orisha decks), Egyptian/Kemetic influences, etc. As a modern carefree black gal none of that resonated with me. So I set out to create a deck that was deep, intuitive and beautiful. The collage aspect has helped me make intuitive associations and symbols I would've not thought to use otherwise.
You can view them on my instagram (so far I have 6 majors done).
