To close out Pride Month, this vibrant episode celebrates queer voices in tarot through the lens of Tarot in Other Words, a newly released anthology edited (and contributed to) by Cassandra Snow. In this intimate conversation, Cassandra shares the behind-the-scenes journey of curating this one-of-a-kind collection featuring personal, poetic, and powerful essays by leading queer tarot writers.
This luminous episode offers a heartfelt exploration into queer tarot wisdom:
✨ How tarot offers radical personal agency and transformation—especially for queer people navigating oppressive systems
✨ Why the title “Tarot in Other Words” speaks to “othered” perspectives and multidimensional storytelling
✨ Personal stories of reclaiming identity, queering archetypes, and surviving spiritual trauma through tarot
✨ How tarot can be grounding and galvanizing in our current sociopolitical moment—especially for marginalized communities
✨ Cassandra’s favorite decks (like the Fat Folks Tarot and Next World Tarot) and the importance of inclusive imagery
✨ A powerful vision of tarot as art, activism, legacy, and spiritual rebellion
Plus, hear about Cyndera’s own intergenerational stone oracle deck, Story Through Stone and how imagery—whether ancient mineral or punk dystopian—can crack open new ways of seeing and being.
