Capitalism, Scarcity, and Tarot Love Readings
“Scarcity is very real. It's manufactured, but that doesn't mean scarcity is fake.
Capitalism doesn't work without scarcity. Its ideal is having more demand than supply. That's what scarcity means.”
Queering Tarot's Queens: Reclaiming Our Labor
“I suspect that many of these attempts to "modernize" tarot come out of empathy, warranted or not, for tarot's Queens.
The main assumption about gender in tarot is that it must be prescriptive rather than observational.”
Building Responsive Power: Queering Tarot's Kings
The court card's monarchs are power as it really is in our lives. The Empress and Emperor of the major arcana, by contrast, are power as it was designed to operate. They are power as we are conditioned to believe it operates.
Queering Tarot's Knights: Becoming Ourselves
There's something very familiar about tarot's Knights. There's a youthful quality that most of us have passed through. They're on a mission, and seen in the midst of action.
Like all court cards, they're purposeful. We see the Knights, and all court cards, at work. They are figuring out how to do their job, but also how sincerely.
Most of all, the court cards, Knights included, blend symbolism with actual people in your life.
Make Yr Life: Queering Tarot's Pages
Regardless of our path to ourselves, we have all had page moments. Queer life is full of them.
I'm not talking about coming out, although that may be one for you. I'm talking about coming into your own. I'm talking about seeing your path unfold before you, and co-creating your life.

CARTOMANCY
Through free thought, by which I mean attention to detail, inquiry, and understanding, we can see that the work of tarot’s Swords isn’t good or bad.
Through free thought, we can see the role systems play in our limited ability to see the truth and accept reality. Our unwillingness or inability to think and scheme freely limits our capacity for action.
It all but ensures that we will act without thinking, and reap the consequences about which the Swords warn.
