Tarot for the Hard Work

Summary

Tarot has always been a powerful guide for introspection and inner work, so what better tool to use when we're ready to do the really hard work? Author Maria Minnis takes a radical new look at the Major Arcana in this tarot workbook, which provides listeners a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism—and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This book says tarot can be a tool for action, one that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty, all while pushing you out of your comfort zone.



You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. It will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how listeners can use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in our relationships, and racism in our communities. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you'll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us, and that there are practical ways to change our actions and perspectives.



This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences. The author addresses the human community as a whole and how racism affects our relationships to each other, to our communities, and to our institutions. This book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.
