📝 Description: Sensual Wicca Tarot Lo Scarabeo

The Sensual Freedom of Wicca in a Beautiful Tarot Unlike most religious paths, Wicca sees all aspects of life, including sexuality, as divine. This deck is primarily an international Pagan Tarot: The Hanged Man shows a Native American hanging from a tree limb. The Stars shows an African in loose pantaloons, his arms outstretched. The Moon shows a statue of Anubis in front of pyramids. The 4 of Cups shows a mournful young Asian woman with three spilled cups and one cup upright. Yes, this deck includes sensual and naked imagery that is imaginative and powerful. The Lust [Strength] card shows a naked woman astride a galloping horse, clearly ecstatic with a lust for life itself. The Lovers has a pose from the Kama Sutra. This deck is filled with crisp, attractive art enveloped by a violet border and back. If you get the deluxe set you'll also receive a magnificent purple satin bag. It's lined in silver and the exterior of this drawstring bag is embroidered with silver Wiccan symbols: the full moon with waxing and waning moons on either side and a pentagram in the center. Above it is a dagger and below is a chalice and wand. The Sensual Wicca Tarot cleverly unites concepts of Wiccan sensuality and Pagan concepts within the structure of the Tarot. The result is a modern Tarot deck that is perfect for meditation and all forms of divination. It is especially useful for relationship readings. If you're looking for a "sex positive" Tarot that is modern and Pagan friendly, this deck is for you! The companion booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

Occult literature desk
This deck offers a bold reimagining of tarot through a distinctly sensual Wiccan lens, utilizing vibrant artistry to celebrate physical desire as sacred. While it excels in providing an uninhibited exploration of spirit and flesh, it may not suit readers who prefer conservative, classical tarot aesthetics or those uncomfortable with explicit nudity. The international pagan symbolism is rich and engaging, yet the unclad forms might alienate traditionalists seeking discretion. However, for those open to a Kama Sutra-inspired approach to the Lovers card and a joyously bold Strength, it stands as a unique, visually striking tool for deepening one's connection to the divine through bodily reverence.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Sensuality & Divinity

This deck boldly asserts that physical pleasure and sexuality are inherent parts of the divine, not separate from it. It reclaims the sacredness of the body, presenting unadorned figures in moments of ecstatic connection, challenging traditional spiritual dichotomies and inviting a holistic view of human experience within a Wiccan framework.

Global Paganism Unveiled

Lo Scarabeo thoughtfully weaves a diverse tapestry of world cultures into its imagery. You'll encounter representations from Native American, African, and Egyptian traditions, alongside Asian figures, expanding the traditional European-centric view of Tarot. This inclusive approach reflects a broader, universal understanding of pagan spirituality.

Embodied Spirituality

The cards encourage a connection to the material world and one's own physical being as a path to spiritual insight. Rather than transcending the body, the deck celebrates its power, its beauty, and its capacity for divine experience. It's a call to embrace life's vibrancy and the raw, untamed aspects of our humanity.
