The Hip-Hop Queens Oracle Deck

A 52-Card Deck and Guidebook: Oracle Cards

Kathy Iandoli
A stunningly illustrated oracle deck featuring 52 of hip-hop's most influential queens (from Lauryn Hill to Megan Thee Stallion) serving as compass points for spiritual growth and portals to guidance and meditation--from the author of God Save the Queens: The Essential History of Women in Hip-Hop

 

Women have been the backbone of hip-hop since its earliest inception. Along with perseverance and creativity, they possess a spiritual and metaphysical presence. These female creators have a profound potency that makes them the perfect symbols for an oracle deck to help you address a question or set your intention for the day.

 

The fifty-two artists included--from MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, and Lil' Kim to Beyoncé, Missy Elliott, Cardi B, and Nicki Minaj--are hip-hop's oracles, now immortalized from tape deck to card deck. Veteran music journalist and certified oracle reader Kathy Iandoli matched each queen with an appropriate symbol, based on her decades of experience interviewing (and befriending) iconic artists, past and present. Rendered in the bold, colorful, pop art-style portraiture of artist Monica Ahanonu on sturdy, oversized cards with rounded corners, these DJs, MCs, and singers will guide you the same way they've blazed trails from the underground to the mainstream since day one.
