The Housewives Tarot

 ‘The Housewives Tarot - A Domestic Divination Kit’ card deck; Design and collage illustrations by Paul Kepple and Jude Buffin; Well made box containing 78 cards and 96 page instruction booklet; Published by Quirk Books, Cost: £13

‘Guaranteed by the Housewife Occultists of America’, so the booklet explains. This is an oracle card deck ‘The Secrets of Domestic Empowerment’ and it offers a 1950s style comedy divination card pack. There are five suggested spreads; The Virgin, The Neapolitan, The Dinette, The Closeline of Life and The Martini. The backs of the cards are red gingham tea towels and we are offered recipes for a ‘Madame Marlena’s Mystical Martini’, ‘Divinated Eggs’ and an ‘Ice Box Fortune Cake’ to accompany a retro evening of card readings. I thought I saw this deck being used in the film ‘The Help’!
