August 27-28, 2022: Readers interested in Black southern folkways will enjoy Tayannah Lee McQuillar's Hoodlooo Tarot. I offer two cards for this weekend's guidance. Artist Katelan V. Foisy's subdued coloration lead you into a dreamy state where ancestral spirits from centuries past float forward and speak.
Of this pair, Strength will be the more immediately familiar image. Here, we have a lady and her big cat--this time a puma, certainly more geographically plausible than a lion. Unlike conventional images of this Tarot archetype, here the relationship between the human or angel and the feline reflects not hierarchical control but kinship and equality. Both beings gaze directly towards you, partners in sharing determination and fierceness. Take their generous gifts and find the fortitude within yourself.
Mother of Knives bears the qualities of Tarot's Queen of Swords, a leader noted for exceptional intelligence, focus, discernment, an expert communicator and warrior. For McQuillar, though, she specifically bears the identity of a member of one or more secret societies traditional to Black southern community. She carries wisdom from both cultural and esoteric understanding of the bible open before her. Consult the wise elder. She will offer frank answers to your questions and not steer you wrong.
Remember, Tarot's Queens know everything, and when they look at you, they're also looking at the roots and the context of your situation as well as what can lie ahead. They are particularly interested in how you fit into the possible future. They have more on their minds besides just you, and that makes their message to you stronger and surer.
