THE FUTURE ANCESTOR TAROT

We are not only children, but also future ancestors of generations we do not know. We will walk the same earth, in a constant cycle of origins and destinies, and this makes us human. The magic of The Future Ancestor Tarot by Alexa Villanueva is in this message that reminds us, card by card, that even the smallest and most ordinary thing can be a source of gratitude and wonder. Discover an original tarot drawn using sumi ink and characterized by an innocent and conscious style that holds the same authenticity of the drawings of our childhood, those that our family will keep forever.

The story of The Future Ancestor Tarot is bound up with the biography of its creator Alexa Villanueva, in a journey that begins in mourning and ends in renewal and gratitude. When she lost both of her grandparents in 2020, the Filipino-American illustrator took refuge in art, instinctively drawing what would become the "Death" card of her first tarot. Gradually the entire deck took shape, a deep invitation to connect with the Here and Now and an occasion to think about what we have been, what we are and what we want to be. Through her work, Alexa, magic expert and artist, explores her identity with the support of Mother Nature's cycles.
