A new structure and a new context

4 stars

I picked up this book because I was curious about how it interprets tarot cards in the context of social movements - but I got more than that. It completely rearranges the tarot, while keeping traditional symbols and numbers, into a non-linear, community-based, Justice-centered system. It also, apart from of the examples of activism, has very deep, interesting things to say about the possible menanings of each card. And I loved the examples. I learned a lot about social movements - and also the many different facets of activism, from allyship through communication to sustainability. I loved it that instead of taking cards one by one, it highlighted relationships between Majors and Minors of the same numbers, and their references to activist work as a whole. I'm a little sad the court cards didn't get more attention.
