Body outlaws, endangered cultures, and anti-colonial belief systems
THE NEXT WORLD TAROT that we discovered looks awesome.
Featuring body outlaws, endangered cultures, and anti-colonial belief systems, THE NEXT WORLD TAROT envisions a world where justice relies on respect and revolutionary love.
The Fool’s Journey is about smashing systematic oppression, owning their truths, being accountable to the people and places that support them, and taking back a connection to their body that may have been lost through trauma or societal brainwashing.
The NEXT WORLD TAROT is a visual spectacle of both the battle cry and the reconnection between outcasts and their criminalized identities.
It's done by a young LatinX from Miami named Cristy C. Road.
As for envisioning the next world, I'm hoping everyone understands the tug of war that comes with embracing a complicated creation, all 78 pieces of it! Some of these cards have been re-drawn multiple times --over years or days-- as some of the original themes have become irrelevant to the deck's final voice. Despite that, the more I reach for the most complex stars, the longer it takes to create something I'm happy with.
Check out the High Priestess:
The High Priestess is a Major Arcana, or "trump" card, that represents human wisdom. The High Priestess can be viewed as a kind of female Pope (a Papess), or the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the even more ancient snake and bird goddesses, the Greek goddess Persephone, or Eve, before the fall.
For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, the Priestess symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.
In terms of the Major Arcana ordering of cards, The High Priestess appears in the sequence as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magician. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the inner life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative study of nature and spiritual mystery.
