Why read it?
1 author picked The Hoodoo Tarot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
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.
