Papa Legba did much more than just guard the gateway between the living and the dead. He was a benevolent Orisha that took pleasure in teaching humans to truly understand what moved them from the inside out. He did this by playing tricks and causing them to question the reality of their perceptions about themselves.
As I mentioned in my article about the beginning of Voodoo he was identified with Saint Peter in the Catholic faith. In this free Tarot spread I combined the questioning spirit of Papa Legba with the concept of Saint Peter holding the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. The layout is that of a voodoo doll in shape whilst the positions are keys that can unlock the realities of you.
Pay extra attention to the answers that surprise you or sound odd. Perhaps Papa Legba knows something that you don’t and seeks to bring it to your attention with this Papa Legba Tarot spread.
