The Rhythm & Soul Tarot by Stacey Williams-Ng

The Rhythm and Soul Tarot is one of the most distinctive theme decks in recent memory, weaving the symbolic structure of the tarot through the musical traditions of the American South, including jazz, blues, rock and roll, and country. Each card follows the path of a musician through life, mapping tarot archetypes onto the experiences, struggles, and transformations that define these genres and their most defining figures. The hand-painted artwork draws from the cultural heritage of the American South with real care and specificity.

The deck received nominations for five World Divination Association Awards, a recognition of both its artistic ambition and its effectiveness as a divination tool. For anyone who loves music and tarot in equal measure, this is a remarkable combination.
