The cards in the Tarot deck offer seventy-eight invitations for changeโnot only in our inner life, but beyond. Lane Smith invites us to read each card with an eye toward the collectiveโhow we can contribute to liberation in the world.
Smith shares, โBehind every story about Tarotโand about the worldโare power relationships which are often invisible.โ 78 ๐๐ค๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ examines the structure, history, and components of Tarot through the lens of power, helping us better understand power dynamics in our life and in society.
After a brief history that highlights often-ignored aspects of Tarotโs past, Smith guides us through each card with reflections about clarifying our values and putting them into action. The cards are organized numerologically so that each number corresponds to a type of action, from Ones as Acts of Initiation to Tens as Acts of Generation. Every individual card offers questions for personal reflection and social consideration. Each Major Arcana card is illustrated with an example from a social movementโfrom the Indigenous Water Protectors to #MeTooโthat illuminates how we can put the power of these timeless archetypes into action today. Every Minor Arcana card is linked to a practical and actionable term to know or skill to practice. 78 ๐๐ค๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ helps us explore:
โข What our core values are, and how we can put them into action โข How we can be socially engaged, whatever our life circumstanceโwhether itโs through what we teach our children or through collective action and protest โข How to sustain ourselves over time and through challenge
As Smith explains, โTruth alone will not set us free. We have to act on it.โ This guide offers inspiration for actionโaction that can feel joyful, hopeful, freeing, and empowering.
