Burgess, Charlie Claire. Radical Tarot: Queer the Cards, Liberate Your Practice, and Create the Futur. Carlsbad, CA: Hay House LLC, 2023.

9781401971472;

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.

Burgess re-envisions "The Fool's Journey" 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. 

The Radical Tarot speaks to queer awakening and how tarot can become a tool for social justice and conscious awareness.  Burgess' words and experiences will help anyone who wishes to be closer to their own authentic selves.
