Santa Muerte Tarot deck box set

A masterpiece of inspired imagery, this tarot deck is a powerful tool for working with the mysticism associated with the Day of the Dead and Santa Muerte.

The accompanying booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian it’s German.

The Santa Muerte Tarot is inspired by a saint of Mexican religious culture – Our Lady of the Holy Death. This 78-card tarot has superb artwork that is ironically full of life, depicting Santa Muerte and her cohort of skeletons acting out Rider-Waite-style tarot scenes.

Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte – Our Lady of the Holy Death is a folk-Catholic goddess or saint worshiped mainly in Mexico and among Mexican-Americans. Although repudiated by the official Catholic church, its “cult” is the fastest growing in the world with some reports citing over 20 million adherents and counting.

Santa Muerte is a strong deity with powers to influence love, good health, prosperity, safe passage to the afterlife, luck, fate and specific protections against aggression, bullets, violent death. It also protects the marginalized and those on the fringes of society.

In popular culture Santa Muerte frequently appears as a female skeleton in saints’ robes or nun’s robes, sometimes she is depicted as a skeletal version of the Virgin of Guadalupe, sometimes as a sad reaper woman. She is also shown as an Aztec goddess, a sugar skull, and as (a version of) the popular creation of Mexican artist Posada – La Calavera Catrina – the skeletal lady with the extravagant hat.

Santa Muerte, as interpreted for the Santa Muerte Tarot, is the great equalizer. Not only in the obvious sense – in death everyone becomes equal – but in the sense of sustaining a balance of the scales. Santa Muerte stands on the side of the oppressed and the poor, and against the institutions of government and money that seek to preserve their power through exploitation and oppression.
