A provocative exploration of the 22 Major Arcana that re-envisions these archetypes as beacons that illuminate the various ways racisms takes root both in ourselves and in the world and how these insights can be turned into self-awareness, self-love, and positive social action. Tarot has always been a powerful tool 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 that provides readers a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism--and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This is a book for anyone that has been overwhelmed or outraged or frustrated and has asked "But what can I do?" It is a book for anyone ready to do the inner work to address what can be done to demolish everyday racism. This book says Tarot can be tool for action, a tool that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty. It is a tool to push you out of your comfort zone. This is Tarot for the hard work. You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. The book highlights some of the reversed, shadow aspects of each Major Arcana card in relation to the different ways that racism shows up in our lives. The book will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how readers 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. You'll find possibilities for liberation work within yourself, your relationships, and your community. This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences--for BIPOC, how the shadow aspects and card energy have affected or shown up or manifested in the internal and external life, and for white people, how those same aspects can become an education process to help identify how they've been part of the problem and can be part of the solution. 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. For all readers, this book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.
