“The dead are reborn and lie again in the belly of the conscience.”
— Austin Osman Spare

Fabio Listrani’s SANTA MUERTE TAROT (Lo Scarabeo, 2017) celebrates both life and death, filled with vivid imagery that beckons the reader to explore new depths in traditional tarot symbolism. These mysteries are presided over by Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte herself, who inhabits the deck in a number of different guises.

“What you will find in this pantheon of archetypal images is a celebration in hnor of those who have gone before us. It is their memory and our collective consciousness that we will continue to nourish, and which we can tap into through the tarot… We have a whole life of advantage over Death, which should always remind us how useless it is to be worried about it. Instead, be concerned about not living enough.”
