Why am I passionate about this?

As an author, educator, weaver, and sacred storyteller deeply rooted in Ancestral reclamation, I create work that celebrates Blackness, spirituality, and liberation. My passion for intuitive tools and Ancestral healing is woven into every book and deck I create or recommend. I’m committed to honoring the wisdom of those who came before us while empowering present and future generations to connect with that lineage through spirit-led practices. These decks are a part of my personal ritual toolkit and I’m excited to share them with others on their journey back to self and source.

Book cover of Follow Your Heart Oracle Deck

Nyasha Williams Why I love this book

While not marketed explicitly for Ancestral work, this deck helped me tune into inner guidance which, for me, includes Ancestral whispers. The intuitive prompts helped me hear quieter messages, especially during daily pulls to start the day and when I am looking at how to recenter and align to my heart medicine.

It’s a soft and loving Ancestor connection, and no less powerful.

Book cover of The Black Gold Lenormand Too

Nyasha Williams Why I love this book

This deck is a visual celebration of Black beauty and ancestral symbolism. I was drawn in by the rich colors and powerful imagery, but it is the guidebook that keeps me coming back. The energy it carries is deeply Ancestral, protective, and real. When I need clarity that cuts through the noise, this is the deck I go to.

This deck brings clarity, especially around questions of generational patterns and healing. It feels luxurious and sacred, like oral knowledge passed down through generations. It’s a whole vibe and an act of reclamation.

Book cover of The Hoodoo Tarot

Nyasha Williams Why I love this book

The Hoodoo Tarot feels like a spiritual history lesson woven into divination. It doesn’t just guide, it educates, honors, and channels the spirit of rootwork and Ancestral practices of the African American South.

This deck helped me deepen my understanding of ancestral ingenuity and ritual. Each card feels like a portal, not only to the message but to the spirits and stories that shaped our survival and power. It’s a must-have if you're drawn to Ancestral reverence and tradition-based tarot.

What is this book about?

Between the 17th and 19th centuries, many Indigenous Americans and people of African descent intermarried and socialized more often than is acknowledged by mainstream history books and scholars. These interactions produced not only a multicultural people but also a body of knowledge that is known today as Hoodoo or Rootwork.

Celebrating the complex American Rootwork tradition, The Hoodoo Tarot integrates esoteric and botanical knowledge from Hoodoo with the divination system of the Tarot. Structured like a traditional Tarot deck, each of the 78 cards features full-color paintings by magical-realist artist Katelan Foisy and elegantly interprets the classical Tarot imagery through…
