Tarot is best used as a tool for self-discovery, healing, growth,
empowerment, and liberation. Tarot archetypes provide the reader with
a window into present circumstances and future potential. But what if
that window only opened up on a world that was white, European, and
heterosexual? The interpretations of the tarot that have been passed
down through tradition presuppose a commonality and normalcy among
humanity. At the root of card meanings are archetypes that we accept
without questioning. But at what point do archetypes become
stereotypes? Humanity is diverse--culturally, spiritually, sexually.
Tarot has the power to serve a greater population, with the right keys
to unlock the tarot's deeper meanings. In Queering the Tarot,
Cassandra Snow deconstructs the meanings of the 78 cards explaining
the ways in which each card might be interpreted against the norm.
Queering the Tarot explores themes of sexuality, coming out, gender
and gender-queering, sources of oppression and empowerment, and many
other topics especially familiar to not-straight folks. Cassandra's
identity-based approach speaks directly to those whose identity is
either up in the air or consuming the forefront of their
consciousness. It also speaks to those struggling with mental illness
or the effects of trauma, all seekers looking for personal affirmation
that who they are is okay.
