The Hillbilly Tarot

* Tarot deck and Playing Cards * An introspective tool for learning about who you are and where you are headed * Uses down-to-earth symbolism to help learn Tarot * Uses Appalachian mountain imagery to tell the story of human nature * A seriously funny pack of cards! The Hillbilly Tarot uses the symbols of Appalachian mountain culture to tell a story older than the hills - the story of what it means to be a human being. The symbols of the tarot, rightly understood, tell a "universal story". It is a story about birth, death and rebirth and of the journey from darkness into the light. It is a story passed down to us from ages past. Being universal, it can be translated into the symbols of any culture... even Appalachian mountain culture, i.e. - hillbillies. The Hillbilly is one of the last stereotypes that can apparently be ridiculed with impunity. In books, TVs and movies, people from Appalachia are usually portrayed as barefooted, ignorant, lazy, backward, rude, stubborn, easily fooled, prone to drink, incestuous, etc. Having grown up among hillbillies, the reality is (of course) much more complex. There are many negative things, but there is beauty, honor and truth as well. The Hillbilly Tarot illuminates a path that answers ages old questions about human nature using down-to-earth symbolism that is easy to follow and understand. The deck can be use for personal reflection, future speculation or as a regular deck of playing cards by removing the Trump cards. I hope y'all love the Hillbilly Tarot!
