Resumo
A recent article in Anthropology of Consciousness entitled 'Imaginal research for unlearning mastery: Divination with Tarot as a decolonizing methodology' argues that the Western Tarot may be a useful tool to facilitate decolonization despite (or perhaps in spite) of the colonial and imperial imprints of the accumulating class. This response points out the Tarot is in fact a tool developed by the accumulating class, designed specifically to facilitate the imposition of elite master narratives. This letter calls into question the appropriateness and effectiveness of using the Tarot as a tool for decolonization.
