What Makes This Book Special

Rather than centering tarot within familiar Western or Hellenistic frameworks, Red Tarot situates the cards within global and Indigenous cosmologies. Marmolejo explores archetypes through powerful recontextualizations—such as Death through the Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta, or the High Priestess through the Aztec goddess Coyolxauhqui—opening the cards to deeper, culturally expansive meanings.

Each Major Arcana interpretation is enriched by the teachings of influential thinkers and cultural workers including Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, and José Esteban Muñoz. These voices are woven seamlessly into the author’s divinatory practice, creating a text that is at once spiritual, political, and deeply personal.

How This Book Can Be Used

This book is ideal for tarot readers seeking to deepen their practice beyond traditional interpretations, as well as for activists, educators, and spiritual seekers interested in decolonial and intersectional approaches to symbolism and meaning-making. Red Tarot can be read cover to cover or returned to again and again as a companion for study, reflection, and ritual.
