Next World Tarot

Review "Inspired by her friends and acquaintances, her deck features images of gay couples, people in wheelchairs, women in hijabs, minorities, the poor and seniors, set against a dystopian landscape." -- New York Times "Cuban-American and raised in a traditional Catholic family, Road...does not fit into her cultural mold, finds salvation in punk rock, and has a conflicted gender identity." -- Publishers Weekly "Cristy C. Road's “Next World Tarot” Boldly Defines a New Generation of Saints." -- Autostraddle "Cristy C. Road, a Miami-raised, Brooklyn-based, Cuban-American illustrator, writer, and of course, total dreamboat, is no stranger to DIY, punk, queer, zine, and activist communities all over the place." ― Bitch Media Product Description Featuring body outlaws, endangered cultures, and anti-colonial belief systems, THE NEXT WORLD TAROT envisions a world where justice relies on respect and revolutionary love. The Fool's Journey is about smashing systematic oppression, owning their truths, being accountable to the people and places that support them, and taking back a connection to their body that may have been lost through trauma or societal brainwashing. The NEXT WORLD TAROT is a visual spectacle of both the battle cry and the re-connection between outcasts and their criminalized identities. This set includes 78 shuffle-friendly Tarot Cards at the standard 2.5" x 3.5" size, as well as an accompanying Tarot Reader written by Cristy C. Road. About the Author Cristy C.
