Trophies and Medals Raggydoll Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 We already have a list for decks that feature diversity (you can find it here), but I feel that we should have a list that highlights all the fantastic decks that are made by black, indigenous, people of color. All types of decks are welcome here, we can separate the list into Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand, Cartomancy. Please help us create this valuable resource! UPDATE: Following discussions amongst the staff regarding some of the suggestions, we have decided to highlight work here by creators who fall under the BIPOC definition and also the BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) definition which is commonly used in the UK. TAROT African American tarot Afro Goddess Tarot Arcanas Afro tarot, the AKAMARA tarot Asian American tarot Black Power tarot, the Black Rebirth Major Arcana Botan tarot Buckland Romani tarot Cosmic cycles tarot Circo tarot Dream Awake tarot Dreaming Way tarot Dust II Onyx Hoodoo tarot How to deal tarot (Mass market version of Circo tarot) Indian Folktale tarot Kaleidadope tarot: A Dope Tarot Lioness Oracle tarot Manzel's tarot (multiple editions) Melanade Stand's tarot Melanated tarot, the Native American tarot deck Next world tarot Oriens tarot Practical magic tarot Roots of Asia tarot Sacred India tarot, the Sasuraibito tarot Shrine of the Black Medusa tarot Spirit Keepers tarot Star Spinner Tarot Tarot de Maria Celia Tarot ng Pasasalamat Tarot of the curious East Tarot Rikit The Star that Never Walks Around True Heart Intuitive tarot (to be released October 2020) Vanessa tarot Way of the Panda tarot ORACLE A deck for wonder walking Adinkra Ancestral Guidance cards Dreamtime Reading cards Flora and Fauna of Africa deck Afro goddess oracle deck Desert dreamwalk Oracle Empty cup Oracle deck Medicine cards Lakota Sweat Lodge cards Living Altar Oracle New Orleans Oracle deck Okana oracle deck Oracle of the Ancients Oracle of the Dreamtime Pep talk deck Sacred Path cards Saltwater Reading cards Sibyls Oraculum: Oracle of the Black Doves of Africa Stars divine, the Vision of the Muse Oracle White Eagle Medicine Wheel cards LENORMAND & CARTOMANCY Anino Lenormand Black Gold lenormand Magic Neko deck Link to post Share on other sites
katrinka Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 The Black Tower Tarot is back in print. What's great about this one is that it features real people. https://khannibalism.bandcamp.com/merch/the-black-power-tarot-by-khaneaton And of course, the wonderful Hoodoo Tarot. Link to post Share on other sites

Trophies and Medals Decan Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) The Hoodoo Tarot is still on my wish list!! @Raggydoll I remember of the Ghetto Tarot (people spoke about it on AT years ago); hoping there isn't controversy with this one though (cultural appropriation, I'm not sure) Edited June 20 by Decan Link to post Share on other sites
Trophies and Medals Raggydoll Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 I found a list online and I will add all those here. If any of you find lists then please share! https://shoppeblack.us/2020/04/black-owned-tarot-and-oracle-decks/ Link to post Share on other sites

We will only include decks by black, indigenous, people of color If the deck is not featured in the big list of diverse decks then we could add it there. Link to post Share on other sites
katrinka Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Asian is relevant here, isn't it? There's Benebel's deck. The Osho Zen might fit here too. I think Osho is from India? Link to post Share on other sites

Trophies and Medals gregory Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Hand of the North, by Neil Graham, born and bred in the Yukon - technically Caucasian, but totally Yukon. I think it counts... https://zh-hk.facebook.com/pg/upyernose/about/ VERY unobtainable, but still. This is all I can find on line about him: https://upyernose.wixsite.com/yukon There are threads on AT, but no images. So here are two from my database.

devin Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) 1 hour ago, gregory said: It is - but I have to say I'm not 100% certain it should count. Lovely, but I don't think so. I'm third generation made in Africa but am still definitely a white-boy. Great thread, btw. Yknow, when I signed up to twitter last year sometime I was rather surprised to learn that there are a hell of a lot of black peeps into tarot. I mean, that's not surprising in and of itself, but they're not well represented as far as the prominent tarosphere is concerned. Mama Whodun being an exception, I suppose.

MoonBear Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Sorry but I have to disagree on the osho zen Tarot osho is indian, yes but the book and the cards are not from him but from a white american womanso it doesn’t fit i think This deck was inspired by his talks and books but he was never part of the creation process as far as I know Edited June 20 by MoonBear Link to post Share on other sites
Trophies and Medals Decan Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 For the Delta Enduring tarot I saw it while googling, and found it nice! But Egan (the artist) isn't black: http://www.deltaenduring.com/about/egan/ Link to post Share on other sites
Trophies and Medals Bodhiseed Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I would agree with Moonbear about the Osho Zen - it's creator isn't in the BIPOC group. https://www.sannyas.wiki/index.php?title=Ma_Deva_Padma Link to post Share on other sites
