The American Renaissance Tarot
Step into the past and honor the greatest American authors with this unique deck that combines literature, esotericism, and Tarot. The Major Arcana weave the intertwined stories of the Transcendentalism movement's celebration of the human spirit and the epic struggle to end slavery. The short chapters accompanying each card highlight prominent figures like Emerson (the Magician), Whitman (the World), and Thoreau (the Hermit). Listen to the voices of the Kings of the four suits - Herman Melville (Wands), Frederick Douglass (Coins), Edgar Allan Poe (Swords), and Nathaniel Hawthorne (Cups) - as they share their tales through the Minor Arcana. Discover the metaphysical underpinnings of America's classic literature through the profiles of over thirty writers from 1825 to 1875.
