Read more Why is it that queer folks are so drawn to the tarot and other witchy, magical, or esoteric practices? 'To a world that categorizes us as nonnormative, we say, 'Your loss! Well build our own communities, economies, and structures of care right over here.' Picking up affordable, accessible practices like tarot, astrology, and herbalismfolk tools that to the capitalist white heteropatriarchy are useless because they cant be neatly explained, co-opted, and soldis part of this radical community-building process. We use tarot to better understand and care for ourselves and our communities. Queering the Tarot is a brilliant contribution to this collective work. Cassandras interpretations zoom in on the generally accepted meanings of each card, examining timeworn archetypes, symbols, tropes, and rites of passage via one simple yet crucial question: How can this card relate differently for queer-identified readers? The asking is itself a radical act. It is a question that makes space for difference. It is a question that centers the marginal, the unseen, and makes it visible.' Beth Maiden Read more Word In this book I use the acronym LGBTQQIP2SA+, which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Pansexual, Two-Spirit, Asexual, and anyone else who identifies as not straight, not cisgender, or both. The + is divisive, and I do recognize that not everyone likes their inclusion seeming like an afterthought. I see you, I hear you, and Im always looking for more inclusive solutions. Please know that I consider anyone who is not both straight and cisgender a Q, as in Queer. Youre already under the umbrella and celebrating our queerness with us in my eyes. I also know that the word Queer isnt comfortable or right for everyone. This is a word that originally just meant odd (another label I happily claim) but, over time, became a slur lobbed at those who wereor were perceived assomething other than straight, cisgender, or both. Over the past several years, our community has done some brilliant work reclaiming this word that once put us in a limiting box. Read more Strength Strength is a card that frustrates many readers and querents at times because we want it to be more complicated than it is. Most cards have multiple meanings, or the word signifying the card is only a starting point. This isnt necessarily true of Strength. There are multiple definitions of strength depending on whom you ask, and that accounts for much of the differentiation in this card between decks. This card could show up as a simple call to wield strength through adversity or quarrels. It could pop up as a reminder that you are strong and can get through anything. I most often see the card as a call to find balance between force and gentle compassion. The most common image on a Strength card is a woman taming a lion through physical affection, which is a lot of what strengthens that latter message.
