Tarot Neocolonial de las Américas
The Tarot Neocolonial de las Americas is a bold and historically charged deck that examines the collision of continents that gave birth to the modern world. Puerto Rican artist Patrick McGrath Muniz uses the tarot structure to trace five centuries of conquest, colonization, and resistance across Latin America. Each card functions as a visual narrative, drawing on the formal traditions of Old Master and Spanish colonial painting to tell stories that are rarely centered in mainstream tarot imagery.
The deck includes 78 cards alongside a 92-page book, with card titles presented in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French, reflecting the multilingual legacy of the Americas it depicts. It is a tarot that takes seriously the social and economic weight of history while still functioning as a powerful tool for personal reflection.
