$\"\"$ Many of you who follow The Magical Buffet on social media, particularly Twitter<\/a>, probably saw that I was excited about Llewellyn\u2019s recent tarot deck sale. Sadly, money is tight so I could not take full advantage of the awesomeness, but I did pick up a deck or two. Despite all the decks I purchased being older, lots of people were interested in my thoughts on the \u201cSanta Muerte Tarot\u201d by Fabio Listrani, so here we are.<\/p>\n

You might remember that in 2018 I reviewed the \u201cSanta Muerte Oracle\u201d<\/a>, also by Fabio Listrani. I found the deck to be thoughtfully constructed with wonderful art. That said, I absolutely adore this original tarot version. The oracle deck told a story and provided a Ouija board however, the tarot deck has iconic tarot imagery, and that cannot be undersold. In our western esoteric culture, the archetypal images of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck are ingrained into our subconscious. Seeing Listrani\u2019s artwork blending with it is at a minimum pretty, and at peak, breathtaking. <\/p>\n

The \u201cSanta Muerte Tarot\u201d interprets the tarot through the Mexican traditions of Calavera Catrina, Santa Muerte, and Dias de los Muertos. From the accompanying book, \u201cThe motif is that Death as it appears to us, due to erroneous mental constructs, is not the opposite of life but rather an integral part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cSanta Muerte Tarot\u201d is a wonderful addition to my tarot collection and could be for your too.<\/p>\n
