Tarot of the Cosmic Seed: 79 Cards & 80 Page Guidebook

In an effort to decolonize the tarot, remove outdated ideas of hierarchy, and shift ingrained gender norms, Lalania Simone, founder of Alchemy Ritual Goods, has created a lush and vibrant deck with unique imagery and symbolism and an array of people and cultures. Having renamed the royalty cards, including the Hierophant, Emperor, Empress, and the court cards, Lalania has expanded their interpretation into energy signatures rather than personality types. The result is a deeply diverse spiritual tool, a bridge to the mysterious and the esoteric, as well as a guide to the everyday. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition as a foundation, this deck offers a twist: there is a twenty-third card added to the Major Arcana, The Cosmic Seed, a representative of us all as infinite, cosmic spirits, enmeshed in sacred flesh for a time on this Earth. “A vibrant collage deck, rich in dreamlike imagery, cultural diversity, and otherworldly symbolism.”, Little Red Tarot

Why We Carry It

Seventy nine cards, not seventy eight, which tells you the author was willing to change the frame rather than just the pictures. It removes the hierarchy and gender assumptions baked into the historical deck. Whether that suits you depends on how attached you are to the tradition, and it is a serious piece of work either way.
