The Loretta Brown Show - 03-12-26 - Tarot Emblemata

Today, Loretta welcomes Nitasia Roland is a writer, poet, digital artist, independent researcher, and publisher of esoteric works through her indie press, Urania Press. With an interdisciplinary master’s degree in English, poetry, printmaking, and design, and an MFA in creative writing, her work sits at the crossroads of art, literature, mysticism, and symbolic philosophy. For over twenty-five years she has explored the Western Esoteric Tradition, Hermeticism, mythology, divination, synchro mysticism, and poetic trance as pathways to deeper understanding of the symbolic imagination. Her creative works include several Tarot and oracle decks such as Tarot Chimera, Starlore Astronomical Tarot, Terra Incognita Oracle, Astronomia Oracle, and the widely celebrated Tarot Emblemata deck. Tarot Emblemata uniquely revives the symbolic tradition of Renaissance emblem books, drawing from 16th-century French historian Claude Paradin’s Devises Heroïques, aligning those enigmatic emblems with the Major and Minor Arcana of Tarot. Through this fusion of historical imagery and archetypal symbolism, Roland’s work invites readers into contemplative dialogue with the mysteries of myth, spirit, and imagination.
