Description
African American Tarot is a wonderful resource to learn about African culture and history. Each card has an image from African traditional religions, myths, or history. The gods, goddesses and myths illustrated on the cards are taken from cultures all over Africa. The associations with African Americans are shown in smaller line drawing on the cards. For example, the 9 of Swords shows Uhlakanyana, a “dwarf demon sworn enemy of mankind” (from south African lore). It shows him from behind, standing on a hill with swords raised in each hand (The RWS shows a woman sitting up in bed, her head in her hands, as if crying in despair). The divinatory meaning, according to the LWB is “nightmare, terror, looming danger. Desperation, remorse,” which is similar to Waite’s meanings, “Death, failure, miscarriage, delay, deception, disappointment, despair.”
African American Tarot is superb for general divinations, meditation and past life regression to Africa. Also a perfect tool for professional Tarot readers with clients interested in Africa. An excellent guide for people learning more about African myth and legend and the many contribution made by African Americans to humanity.
