The Hip-Hop Queens Oracle Deck: A 52-Card Deck and Guidebook: Oracle Cards *Kindle
A stunningly illustrated oracle deck featuring 52 of hip-hop’s most influential queens (from Lauryn Hill to Megan Thee Stallion) serving as compass points for spiritual growth and portals to guidance and meditation—from the author of God Save the Queens: The Essential History of Women in Hip-Hop Women have been the backbone of hip-hop since its earliest inception. Along with perseverance and creativity, they possess a spiritual and metaphysical presence. These female creators have a profound potency that makes them the perfect symbols for an oracle deck to help you address a question or set your intention for the day. The fifty-two artists included—from MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, and Lil’ Kim to Beyoncé, Missy Elliott, Cardi B, and Nicki Minaj—are hip-hop’s oracles, now immortalized from tape deck to card deck. Veteran music journalist and certified oracle reader Kathy Iandoli matched each queen with an appropriate symbol, based on her decades of experience interviewing (and befriending) iconic artists, past and present. Rendered in the bold, colorful, pop art–style portraiture of artist Monica Ahanonu on sturdy, oversized cards with rounded corners, these DJs, MCs, and singers will guide you the same way they’ve blazed trails from the underground to the mainstream since day one.

Why Must Read The Hip-Hop Queens Oracle Deck: A 52-Card Deck and Guidebook: Oracle Cards?
I've been enamored by female rappers for as long as I can remember so I feel like the God's spoke and then...THIS was created. Between the narration in the guidebook by Kathy Iandoli and the illustrations by Monica Ahanonu, everything is so well put together! In order to appeal to different generations, the selection of women is pretty spot on- PERFECT mix of the old school & the new school. Kudos for including some of the more overlooked MC's who don't get the credit they deserve (Nikki D, Gangsta Boo, Jean Grae). The words chosen to represent each lady couldn't be more fitting. "IF" I had my way, I'd personally eliminate a few of the newer R&B divas and throw in a few more old school MC's (Sweet Tee, Antoinette, Ms. Melodie) & early 00's one-hit wonders (Amil, Ms. Jade, Charli Baltimore) but honestly, I couldn't be more satisfied with what's sitting in front of me. Definitely worth the $20! Not only could this be used as a fun intuitive exercise but also as an educational piece for people who may not be up to speed on some of the baddest ladies who've paved the way! Thanks so much for creating this!
