With this kaleidoscopic reworking of the traditional tarot,
intuitive and artist Marcella Kroll takes its 78 cards down to
their most fundamental archetypes. Instead of limits, this deck is
about freedom: from good-and-bad binaries, unbreakable rules, and
traditional morality. Instead of The Lovers, Marcella explores the
concept of duality with The Twins. Instead of The High Priestess,
there is The Oracle. Her spreads can be used to answer any
questions about life. The Creator, The Architect, The Ancestor, and
other nontraditional, non-gendered cards are excellent guides for
readers who wish to divine their future and learn more about
themselves with a contemporary, vibrant deck. Â
Â
Sassy, snarky, and occasionally harsh, this oracle deck will tell
it like it is. Â When you do your one-card draw for the day,
looking for a sign from the cards, what happens when you pull
Fashion Witch? Bitch? Influencer? Red Flag? This intentionally
sassy 30-card deck from well-known witch Marcella Kroll is a great
way to get real talk from the Universe. Don’t settle for being
coddled by the Rider-Waite-Smith. This deck will not hesitate to
throw shade or tell you you’re trying too hard. If you’re tired
of the mystic limitations of the Lenormand, get wrecked by
Kroll’s hilarious hand-drawn illustrations. Direct, full
of salt, and contemporary in its presentation and affect, The Roast
Iconic is just what you need for days when you need your intuitive
messages to be as direct as possible. Â Divination meets
Cards Against Humanity in these funny oracle cards. Whether used
alone or as a fun party game with friends, The Roast Iconic will
deliver blunt truths that make you laugh just as much as they make
you think. Â

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the
universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a
connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not
only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression
and the ways we communicate our collective human story. For many in
the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural
consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass
cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been
passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the
scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and
hundreds of creative hands-mystics and artists often working in
collaboration-have transformed what was essentially a parlor game
into a source of divination and system of self-exploration, as each
new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the
medium. Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in
Tarot, the debut volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series.
The book explores the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards
and works of original art, two thirds of which have never been
published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first ever
visual compendium of its kind, spanning from Medieval to modern,
and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards
of the Major and Minor Arcana. It explores the powerful influence
of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dali and Niki de Saint
Phalle and includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary
artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced the medium
for its capacity to push cultural identity forward. Rounding out
the volume are excerpts from thinkers such as Eliphas Levi, Carl
Jung, and Joseph Campbell; a foreword by artist Penny Slinger; a
guide to reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig; and an essay on
oracle decks by Marcella Kroll. About the series The Library of
Esoterica explores how centuries of artists have given form to
mysticism, translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring,
visionary works of art. Each subject is showcased through both
modern and archival imagery culled from private collectors,
libraries, and museums around the globe. The result forms an
inclusive visual history, a study of our primal pull to dream and
nightmare, and the creative ways we strive to connect to the
divine.
A modern book of shadows, updated for a new era. Priestess is a
concept visual art book meets witch's grimoire, filled with
antidotes, spells, mantras, prose, and original art intertwined
within the pages by Artist and Psychic Medium, Marcella Kroll. A
biography of a witch without being a memoir, this is a modern book
of shadows updated for a new era.
