Okay, I adore the artwork of this particular deck illustrated by Sallie Ann Glassman and I suppose having an interest in Haitian Vodou and Santeria does help. Unfortunately, I have long ago misplaced the accompanying book that came with the deck and have been relying more on the Vodou Visions book by Sallie Ann Glassman to inspire my workings with this deck. In the book that came with the deck, I vaguely recall some style of throwing the cards being described involving using the veve for Ayizan or perhaps the Marassa. I only remember not understanding it at all at the time and I was wondering if anyone worked with this deck that way and even more importantly, explain it to me.

I aquired these tarots myself at Christmas, they were given to me. I am still working with them but find them very accurate in what they are trying to get across to the client. However, I have the book and am willing to send what information you need on your cards. I also suggest getting a book on Saints as the Vodouns also used Saints in their working due to the fact they were brought over to America and to hide their own dieties from others would find a Saint that was close enough to their deities. You can fee free to Im me privately or email me for information on your cards. The book is not sold seperatly from the cards unfortunatly.
