Working Playing Cards to Get What You Want
I’ve noticed many places putting less importance on knowing the meaning of cards, particularly tarot cards. To me, such an approach lacks rigor.
Queering Tarot's Court Cards
Some modern decks have addressed this by creating new, genderless terms for them. Names like "The Mentor" and "The Apprentice" pervade.
While I admire the creativity of such decks, the historical and social context of gender are hard to erase. Names change, but archetypes are what define tarot and those remain.
The Minor Arcana: Radicalizing Daily Life
