Which Tarot Deck for Ancestral Work?

What’s Your Ancestry?

Once you begin Ancestral Tarot work, you may want to switch up from your Rider-Waite deck to one that’s a better match for you ancestrally (culturally, ethnicity-wise). Some non-traditional decks are still easy to find, others may be out-of-print or more difficult to purchase.

Here’s my current list of Cultural/Ethnic/Beliefs decks. If you have others to suggest, thanks for sending them my way.
