Do You Want to Work With Ethnic Origins?
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.
Please be cautious when you purchase, as many decks are now being pirated and re-sold as originals. If the price seems too good to be true, it’s probably a fake.

Oh my goodness, this is so helpful. I’m in the Tarot Nerds Facebook group, which is starting an Ancestral Tarot study group. I bought your book with moderate interest. My interest skyrocketed as soon as I started reading it. I thought this *might* be interesting and useful; now I know it *will* be.
Hi Marina,
I just joined the group – so feel free to reach out if you have questions. So happy to see that your interest skyrocketed! xoxo Nancy
