New orleans voodoo tarot deck downloadable pdf

There are maybe hundreds of lwa, so it is interesting to see which ones were chosen. Like Simbi? A hard one to find in a Haitian book - but important in New Orleans. The art strongly sums up the passionate connection to Earth and Spirit that the lwa relationships is about.

He even lists proper sacrifi This is actually a really great way to learn about the lwa. He even lists proper sacrifices - and a wonderful new idea!

If sacrifices are meant to be meaningful, well, what has meaning to Westerners? So donate money to charities the lwa would support as your sacrifice. We don't leave out big meals and have the homeless eat it over the passing of night any more.

This, to me, is the interesting part. He's obviously well schooled in Crowley's thelema. I actually learned a lot more about the beauty of thelema's basic concepts here than I did studying it with thelema scholars. So it's great for Western magi as well. Combining thelema with Vodou was kinda New Orleans in itself. It is one of those types of cities where anything shows up and anything goes. New Orleans makes me cautious, the sheer hatred and violence scared me and I have never felt afraid of any other city.

Every corner holds a different type of chaos. Yet it is the most beautiful city in the US. My friend Laura said it was the most female city: gorgeous, intuitive, and cruel.

New York was the most male. Books on New Orleans Vodou are harder to find than Haitian Vodou so this is important if only for that reason. Learn what Marti Gras is really about!

Putting Santeria in here is a little weird, since it's not Vodou and there are Santeria decks I got one a decade ago. So you have to know Vodou and Santeria and thelema to understand what is going on really. That's a lot of magical religion! But don't worry - each card has a meditation and a meaning. This set is a must for anyone interested in Voodoo or anyone who loves to use and collect unique tarot decks.

The fourth book of this dark urban fantasy series follows necromancer Eric Carter through a world of vengeful gods and goddesses, mysterious murders, and restless ghosts. Los Angeles is burning. During one of the hottest summers the city has ever seen, someone is murdering mages with fires that burn when they shouldn't, that don't stop when they should. Necromancer Eric Carter is being framed for the killings and hunted by his own people.

To Carter, everything points to the god Quetzalcoatl coming after him, after he defied the mad wind god in the Aztec land of the dead. But too many things aren't adding up, and Carter knows there's more going on. If he doesn't figure out what it is and put a stop to it fast, Quetzalcoatl won't just kill him, he'll burn the whole damn city down with him.

This book is such a beautiful tribute to the different stories and experiences we go through as brujas.

Amplify the voice of Witches of Color by reading their stories. Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today.

Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive politics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the "witch" of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions to the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spiritual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors.

Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend—it's a movement. The White Sister The Bony Lady Excellent for smaller hands! Overlaying the dark background we see various figures done in gold. The Temple Court cards show the elemental symbol and card title in black centered across the top of the card in black text, with the suit name in black text across the bottom of the card.

The Road cards Major Arcana show the card number in Roman numerals in black type across the top of the card, and the card title in black text along the bottom of the card. The style of the artwork is very loose and flowing, with some cards having a very "comic" feel.

The coloring is flat, and heavily into greens, blues and oranges, with no use of red. My favorite card from the whole deck may well be Magick Mirror The Moon.

We see white stars against a deep blue sky, with lighter blue swirling on the bottom third of the card. From the swirling blue, three yes, three hands hold up a mirror edged in green, featuring a pair of intense eyes.

She is dressed in a lovely pink party dress, and there is a pink hat hanging from the mirror. However - the look on her face reminds me of a wicked stepsister! The figure, wearing a light colored shirt, is seated and playing a rada drum. The look on his face is one of intensity, focus, and serenity. Done in bright orange, against a black background, we see the figure of a woman, her eyes looking straight out at us with ferocity and intensity.

In her hands she holds a flaming zin, or ritual pot. From the book: 'Masa is spinning the star web that reaches between the worlds.

This is the orisha of hunters and animals of the forest. I find most interesting the depiction of the World Egg The Fool. Coming from the night sky we see the Great Snake in its mouth the World Egg representing focused or directed possibility.

The World Egg forms the center of the Crossroads, the point from which all creation takes its measure.
