Interpretation:
First off we can see from the cards a very fiery masculine influence, and a strong indication that the reading relates to your professional life. The Ace of Wands is a good start to any reading about studies or career as it signifies new beginnings entered into with strength, aggression, and eagerness. Followed by The Sun, the placement of which represents the present, indicates that the projects signified by the Ace of Wands have been/will be successfully completed, not only that but the sun also signifies love and optimism. The final card, the Two of Wands, follows nicely on from the Ace of Wands and The Sun, reinforcing the earned success of your recent undertakings, the authority gained from your hard work, and the benefits that are to come after the successful completion of the projects signified in the Ace of Wands.

Glassman’s ‘New Orleans Voodoo’ deck
The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot, based on the stunning paintings by Sallie Ann Glassman, stirred some controversy when it appeared in 1992. Some questioned the wisdom of this heady blending of Kabbalah, Vodoun, and Santeria with modern occult philosophy. But they rarely doubted the power and beauty of Glassman’s visionary artwork. Over the years this deck has secured its reputation by proving its potency as a divinatory tool.
Frankly this tarot wipes the floor with any other so-called gothic or urban decks. Interestingly this is because it nods firmly in the direction of the Marseilles and surrealist traditions- both currently unfashionable in the English-speaking tarot scene.
The ingredients really shouldn’t work: bold computer graphics, collage, an eighties goth/industrial sensibility, humour, and a desire to depict tarot concepts in modern life. But it works. This deck was conceived by Patrick Valenza in his childhood. We eagerly await his next project.
