A dynamic re-envisioning of the tarot, including tarot card
imagery, that describes how the tarot is queer, that the archetypes
are alive, and that tarot doesn’t tell the future; it creates it.
Radical Tarot meets the tarot in a space of evolution,
deconstruction, and creation, using the historical and common
meanings of the cards as a launchpad for digging into limiting
beliefs and societal conditioning and unlocking the personal truths
beneath. The Fool’s Journey is re-envisioned as a journey to
non-binary thinking, the gender essentialism is ousted from the
Major Arcana and the Court Cards—and all the cards—are reframed
through a non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, and intersectional
lens. The archetypes are re-imagined in modern, progressive, and
queered contexts. For example: – The Empress and the body
positivity movement – Justice, not in the legal sense, but as
ethical discernment and accountability – Temperance and
transcending the gender binary – The Devil and anti-capitalism
– Judgement and revolution Radical Tarot also touches on
Charlie’s personal story of how tarot helped them embrace their
queerness, leave their marriage, and radically change their life.
It speaks to their queer awakening and how tarot became, for them,
a tool for social justice and conscious awareness of the world
around them. Their words and experience will help anyone who wishes
to be closer to their own authentic selves.
Expanding the traditional tarot archetypes beyond the gender
binary, this deck re-imagines the cards from a queer and inclusive
perspective. The more we work with Tarot, the more we realize that
binaries don't exist and everything is fluid-gender, meaning, even
time. We come to realize that we're all creatures made of earth and
air, fire and water, all four elements bound together by the fifth
element: spirit. Fifth Spirit Tarot goes beyond the gender binary,
queering the archetypes with 78 beautifully illustrated and
hand-lettered cards by queer and non-binary tarot reader, teacher,
and writer Charlie Claire Burgess. The artwork lovingly features
folks of different races, body shapes, abilities, ages, and gender
expressions. Instead of renaming the cards for gender-neutrality,
Fifth Spirit seeks to challenge the gender binary and expand
notions of gender through the juxtaposition of traditional title
and queered imagery. In Tarot as in life, a nonbinary femme can be
King, a cisgender man can be Queen, and everyone in between can
defy or expand or ecstatically embody any or no gender that they
wish.
