Mystic South

I am a Memphis-born artist and mystic whose work centers around themes of Southern esoterica, magic and history. My first oracle deck, The Southern Gothic Oracle, harnessed small slices of Southern folklore and magic to spin a unique method of divination. After publishing 2 more Southern-themed oracle decks, I have finally embarked on a tarot about the Southern origins of American music history (country, blues, etc). In this workshop I’ll share the unique challenges of creating a unique yet parallel interpretation of card meanings using regional history instead of the usual RWS. I will share examples of my process, and also observe other thematic decks to consider how alternative imagery leads to new interpretations.
