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? 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 seventy-eight 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.… (altro)
I love the non-heteronormative, non-gender-binary interpretations Snow offers in this book. While many interpretations obviously stem from the author's personal experiences, I think that level of personalization is a strength. They also do an admirable job of providing potential interpretations from identities/experiences they don't share without claiming to speak for those voices. The book has great, often critical advice for both personal readings and doing readings for others.
I think the book would have been stronger without the chosen tarot deck art, since the images often didn't fit the relevant card's description and were rarely discussed. ( )
Definitely not for a beginner, but this was a lovely and much needed way to interpret the tarot for more inclusivity. A good resource for referring back to, especially when feeling the annoying patriarchy of some of the RWS cards. ( )

To all the LGBTQ+ trailblazers to whom I owe everything, including Genesis Moss (the first lesbian I ever saw on TV), but especially the Sylvia Riveras, the Marsha P. Johnsons, and the Harvey Milks of the world. Thank you for making a better world for all of us, and I dedicate Queering the Tarot to you.

When I look at the surprisingly few, yet dearly loved books on the shelves of my tarot room, I am greeted warmly by queer family and friends. [Preface by Beth Maiden]
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.

Now, like The Fool, it's time to begin your own journey.
