The suits in The Rhythm & Soul Tarot are reimagined to honor the essence of tarot and the spirit of music in distinctive ways.
🎷 Jazz (Wands – Fire): Representing passion and creativity, the Jazz suit embodies the energy of New Orleans Jazz, Brass, and Zydeco. The King and Queen are inspired by jazz legends, while the remaining cards feature archetypes that capture the spontaneity and movement of this fiery suit.
🎶 Blues (Cups – Water): Reflecting deep emotion and matters of the heart, the Blues suit draws from Blues, Soul, and Gospel traditions. The King and Queen pay tribute to blues pioneers, while the rest of the suit features intuitive archetypes that resonate with longing, love, and spiritual devotion.
🎸 Axes (Swords – Air): Inspired by early Rockabilly and Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Axes suit embodies intellect, truth, and rebellion. Just as Swords in tarot represent communication and conflict, this suit channels the bold, uncompromising voice of rock music.
🤠 Roots (Coins – Earth): The Roots suit honors Country, Roots, and Bluegrass music, reflecting themes of resilience, hardship, and connection to the land. Like the traditional suit of Coins, it speaks to stability, resources, and the realities of life, deeply tied to the storytelling traditions of folk and country music.
