It is with gratitude and reverence I approach cartomancy. Tarot reading as an art-form is inextricably linked to the traditions of the Romani people. Tarot’s appearance in non-Romani lineages has a problematic history which needs to be addressed with urgency. Romani people living today face continued oppression throughout the world and fear the erasure of their culture as it is appropriated at increasing rates.
I encourage all who have benefitted from Tarot in one form or another to contribute directly to Romani-led organizations or individuals, learn more about the issues Romani people face today, and help raise awareness about Tarot’s origins and evolution.
