Product information
Design and Artwork
The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot, a collaborative creation by Louis Martinié and Sallie Ann Glassman, stands out as a unique blend of art and spirituality. The deck's vivid imagery reflects the rich tapestry of African-American culture, drawing upon Voodoo's diverse influences from Africa, the West Indies, and Catholicism. Each card in this 79-card deck is a visual feast, encapsulating the spiritual essence of the loa, the powerful forces central to Voodoo.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck establishes deep connections between traditional tarot archetypes and the loa of Voodoo, integrating elements from the Waite and Thoth Tarots and the Kabalistic Tree of Life. The symbolism in each card is layered, offering insights into both the physical and spiritual world, and presenting a fresh perspective on the ancient and earth-honoring traditions of Voodoo.
User Experience
Reviewers praise the New Orleans Voodoo Tarot for its exceptional blend of graphic artistry and insightful interpretations of the Voodoo mythos. Its tactile quality, perfect card size, and subtle symbolism make it a favorite among tarot enthusiasts. However, it's recommended for those with a background or interest in African spirituality, as its deep cultural references may be challenging for beginners.
