"The Pasta Tarot" is a playful new interpretation of tarot that combines pasta, pop culture, and Italian American tradition in a 78-card deck.
For readers of all experience levels, and even for folks who simply love a steamy baked ziti. Rooted in the authors' queer Italian American identities, this deck and accompanying pamphlet offer readers a contemporary, playful take on tarot.
The Major Arcana is filled with pop culture references, renderings of chosen family, drag queens, and iconic divas. You'll find a Corleone with a cannoli, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sophia Loren, pop star Sophie, and Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera leading a pride parade.
Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles are replaced by Corta (short pasta), Ripiena (stuffed pasta), Lunga (long pasta), and Minuta (tiny pasta), respectively.
That's fifty-six types of pasta!
