#tozzerlibrary

We’re still riding high from a great turnout and insightful readings from tarot decks at our event last week. This was our second annual event of “The Art & Visual Culture of Those Who Seek” at the Tozzer Library. Our collaborative event featured tarot and divination decks from the Fine Arts Library and Tozzer Library, as well as spooky collections from the Botany Libraries and Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. A colleague from the Harvard Divinity School Library did birth chart readings, which were very popular. This year also included a special guest, Bobby Abate, creator of “Outsider Tarot." Thanks to everyone who came!

We greatly enjoyed our joint event, “The Art & Visual Culture of Those Who Seek: Tarot and Divination Collections from Tozzer and Fine Arts Library.”

We each picked our favorite tarot card. Check out the video!

Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday. More photos to come, so stay tuned.

Happy Native American Heritage Month!

This is set is one of the tarot and oracle cards we featured in our joint event titled, “The Art & Visual Culture of Those Who Seek: Tarot and Divination Collections from Tozzer Library and the Fine Arts Library” which was held on October 29th. This Indigenous oracle deck is a part of Tozzer’s collections.

We greatly enjoyed the tarot and oracle decks added to Tozzer’s Indigenous Knowledge Collection!

Ancient traditions, ancestral guidance, healing rituals, moon phases, animal spirits, and plant allies come alive in this colorfully illustrated oracle deck and guidebook from Indigenous Medicine Woman and author of “You are the medicine,” Asha Frost.
