Radical Tarot: Queer the Cards, Liberate Your Practice, and Create the Future -- Charlie Claire Burgess, Paperback
A dynamic re-envisioning of the tarot, including tarot card imagery, that describes how the tarot is queer, that the archetypes are alive, and that tarot doesn't tell the future; it creates it. Radical Tarot meets the tarot in a space of evolution, deconstruction, and creation, using the historical and common meanings of the cards as a launchpad for digging into limiting beliefs and societal conditioning and unlocking the personal truths beneath. The Fool's Journey is re-envisioned as a journey to non-binary thinking, the gender essentialism is ousted from the Major Arcana and the Court Cards--and all the cards--are reframed through a non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, and intersectional lens. The archetypes are re-imagined in modern, progressive, and queered contexts. For example:
- The Empress and the body positivity movement
- Justice, not in the legal sense, but as ethical discernment and accountability
- Temperance and transcending the gender binary
- The Devil and anti-capitalism
- Judgement and revolution
