Dr. Giavanni Washington, creator of the Black Goddess Within Oracle card deck, joins me to discuss how her new deck is about liberation and remembrance, changing the narrative of Black bodies, Black women, and Black people through the images of Goddesses from all over Africa. Dr. G, as she is affectionately known, shares not only how we can use the deck, but why it is important to change the way the world sees the Black body. She also talks about how the images came into being – A deeply transformative experience for the women photographed representing the Goddesses. And her own personal experience and inspiration for creating this stunning deck. If you seek to support and uplift Black voices and perspectives, this deck is an empowering way to learn about these powerful Goddesses and their history. I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something new. Thank you for listening and following my podcast. You can also follow me on Instagram at The Conscious Diva.

Archetypal Tarot is thrilled to release this latest podcast with guest Dr. Giavanni Washington about her new oracle deck, The Black Goddess Within. It was inspiring to meet a woman who has followed her ancestral wisdom and is blazing a powerful path of healing through conversation and connection through the imagery and words of her oracle. This deck, for Every Body, features photographs of real woman embodying the goddesses of Africa in its many territories and elements (beautifully bedecked by illustrator Marla Warner). Meet stunning mermaids in the deck along with warriors, healers and other divinities of different ages, body types, abilities, skin tones and gender expressions. The deck links the Black body to her storied, ancestral and mythology past in the roots of Africa. Past and present are bridged offering specific healing to Black women in particular, and any who wish to welcome the deep expressions of these goddesses within their modern lives. This deck welcomes and challenges us to see beyond the veils of a white-valued society to the many-faceted aspects of Black Beauty, Black Divinity and Black Joy. Many thanks to Dr. Giavanni for joining the Archetypal Tarot Podcast
