Dust II Onyx: A Melanated Tarot is a celebration of Black culture, spirituality, and ancestral wisdom through the art of tarot. This 78-card deck offers a soulful reimagining of traditional tarot, centering the rich experiences and identities of the African diaspora.
The deck was created by Courtney Alexander, a self-taught multimedia artist, writer, and intuitive. What started as a deeply personal journey of healing and self-discovery grew into a powerful offering for the collective. Courtney envisioned a space where Blackness could exist fully within mysticism—bold, beautiful, complex, and sacred.
Each card is handcrafted with layered textures, vibrant imagery, and shimmering foils, bringing to life figures that honor both the ancient and the contemporary. Every detail carries intention. Every image tells a story.
Dust II Onyx is more than just a tarot deck. It’s a space for reflection, empowerment, and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just beginning your journey, this deck invites you to explore your inner landscape and remember the wisdom woven into your lineage.
