Description

Tarot archetypes can provide insight into present circumstances and future potential, but what if these interpretations are based on a narrow perspective? Cassandra Snow explores how traditional tarot meanings might be reinterpreted to better serve diverse populations. In "Queering the Tarot", she examines the ways in which each of the 78 cards can be understood against the norm. This book offers an identity-based approach, addressing themes such as sexuality, coming out, gender and gender-queering, sources of oppression and empowerment. Snow's work is particularly relevant for those whose identity is a central aspect of their life or who are struggling with mental illness or trauma. By re-examining tarot archetypes through a queer lens, readers can gain new insights into their own lives and experiences. By challenging traditional interpretations, "Queering the Tarot" provides a fresh perspective on the tarot as a tool for self-discovery, healing, growth, empowerment, and liberation.
