I just want to say, i wish there was more P.O.C / People who are non-white, representation in all forms of Media. Also in tarot. no P.O.C in tarot decks/anything, makes me feel like I don't exist. that is why i am trying to teach my self to draw. but yeah. I just feel like, if you wanted a deck with no white persons representation, it is either animal deck or a blotch ink deck, or just lines and stuff you know. sorry

If this is in response to a post I made awhile back, since then I’ve found the Ghetto Tarot, which does not have white people in it at all. (Amaze!) The Silhouettes Tarot that I own is more like one of the ambiguous treatments which I overlooked since I was looking for explicit representation. The Sweeney Tarot is diverse, though I couldn’t say it doesn’t have any white people in it. More diverse decks are coming out or have come out (looking forward to the Numinous Tarot!), but a lot are indie so it takes a hunt to find them. There are also the traditionally published decks: the New Orleans Voodoo Tarot and the African American Tarot, but I’ve not felt drawn to them so haven’t tried them out. (And have heard problems about one or both I think?)

Also I’ve noticed that older RWS decks are much more ambiguous about race and have darker skin colors on some characters, but more recent recolors make everyone very explicitly white, so that’s kind of a “if you go further back it looks more diverse” fluke.

I want to see more diverse decks in the mainstream and I’d really like people to examine their assumptions of why an all-white deck looks “normal.” I know the explanations (and mansplanations) but each person’s answer is going to inform things about their own worldviews and the culture and cultural assumptions they’ve been exposed to (and some people will say “no it doesn’t look normal” which is great). I am a white person, I don’t feel a need to find representation for myself (racially at least) in new decks since it’s overabundantly there in so many other decks, but I want the world and people around me represented or it feels like the deck isn’t telling the whole truth or story. Ideally I’d have several decks that had many races and ethnicities well-represented but instead I find almost all decks have white people and it’s like, okay, I have gotten tired of all the people in tarot looking like round-eared stereotypical D&D elves. I am over that aesthetic, it tells me nothing, it doesn’t communicate to me. I want the real people around me represented in tarot. I want the people I read for represented in tarot. I want everyone to be able to find themselves in tarot. It shouldn’t be this hard.
