The Tarot Yohualli Ehecatl is a rare thing: a tarot deck conceived, designed, written, and produced in Mexico, by a Mexican artist, for the purpose of honoring Mexica and Toltec spiritual traditions. The 78 cards follow the Waite-Rider structure but are populated with deities, symbols, and cosmological concepts from Mesoamerican culture rather than the Western European imagery that dominates most tarot decks.
The hardcover guidebook, printed in both English and Spanish, runs to more than 300 pages and includes card interpretations, sacred narratives, and prayers in Nahuatl. A protective cotton bag is included with the set. For readers with Mexican or Indigenous heritage, or for anyone seeking a tarot practice grounded in a genuinely different cultural and spiritual framework, this is a significant and thoughtfully made work.
David Gremard Romero, known in his Nahua tradition as Chicome Itzcuintli Amatlapalli, is a Mexican-American artist who grew up in Los Angeles and now lives in Mexico City. He comes from an interracial background, White American and Wixarica Indigenous, and practices Mexicayotl, a traditional native faith. His art functions as a form of decolonization, reimagining his ancestors' spiritual traditions with a contemporary artistic sensibility aimed at recovering and transmitting ancient knowledge.
