It offers alternative approaches to reading the tarot for those looking to gain new and deeper insight--especially for marginalized folk who don't see themselves reflected in traditional presentations of the tarot"-- Provided by publisher

Personal journeys and tarot practice

5 stars

A fascinating collection of personal essays as well as practical advice on queering the tarot. I enjoyed the different authors' points of view, and the stories of their personal journeys alongside the tarot practice. These kinds of books are much more interesting to me than the ones that solely focus on advice - and diverse voices of queerness spoke authentically about finding new ways to read tarot. Some of the essays gave me whole new perspectives on things I would like to try, such as reframing the court cards, or finally trying to read reversed cards (this speaks to how good that essay was, I never wanted to read reversed before!). My favorite essay, however, was the one on the High Priestess and identity. It was deep understanding, poetry, personal storytelling, and tarot excellence all in one.
