This episode of the Biddy Tarot podcast features Mimi Khúc, guest editor of the Asian-American Tarot deck. This is a really interesting Tarot deck, because its conception/creation process was very different from other decks.   In fact, it was created as a way of expressing the different concerns and issues around Asian-American mental health. Mimi is a lecturer in a University, and she wanted to talk about Asian-American mental health in a number of different ways. She found that expressing this through a Tarot deck was one really effective way of being able to talk about some of these issues. That is how the deck was created. I think you’re going to find today’s conversation really, really interesting, so sit back and relax as I talk with Mimi Khúc. In this episode, you’ll learn: The inspiration behind the Asian-American Tarot deck The creation of the Asian-American Tarot deck How to use the Asian-American Tarot deck

That’s where The Animal Totem Tarot came from.
