The Relative Tarot

Connect with your ancestors to seek guidance, insight, and healing with this unique deck that combines playful vintage photography overlaid with familiar tarot imagery and symbols.

The Relative Tarot features vintage 19th-century photographs of ancestors from a wide array of ethnic origins and various walks of life. Its aim is to help you discover your true potential by connecting you with your beloved ancestors.

The ancestors come together in the spirit of providing not only answers but resolution, evolution, truth, and transcendence. They are here to help illuminate that deeper meaning that may or may not have eluded them in life.

This spirited deck is rich in photographs overlaid with familiar tarot imagery. The accompanying book guides readers on how to calculate their personal birth, annual, and significator cards, inspired by the works of Mary K. Greer and the late Angeles Arrien. The Minor Arcana represents how our life lessons have materialized on the physical plane through the initiations, tests, and lessons unique to each suit.

The deck includes multiple versions of select cards in the Major Arcana so that readers can choose those that best represent their sexual orientation and gender identity.
