Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy by Christopher Marmolejo
Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
Unfortunately this wasn’t for me. I became interested in Tarot only last year and had requested the book because of that. I thought this would be a nice reference guide to help me learn more about Tarot but learn it in the decolonized way right from the start of my Tarot journey.
The book is both academic and poetic at times. Many of the lessons felt lost in the prose while also making me feel a bit stupid with the big vocabulary being used 😅 I often got confused and felt the information go in one ear and out the other. I think this will be great for those with a lot of experience and knowledge in Tarot but not meant for beginners. Hopefully I can come back to this when I have more knowledge but for now it’s a DNF
