## About this item

Radical Tarot is a tarot book for readers who want to read the cards through a queer, anti-capitalist and intersectional lens. Charlie Claire Burgess argues that tarot is queer and that its archetypes are alive. It suits readers who want to look past traditional meanings, and anyone curious about gender and social justice.

The Fool's Journey is re-imagined as a journey to non-binary thinking, and gender essentialism is removed from the Major Arcana and Court Cards. Every card is reframed through a non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist and intersectional lens: the Empress through body positivity, Justice as ethical discernment and accountability, and Judgement as revolution.

Charlie's own story runs through the book: how tarot helped them embrace their queerness, leave their marriage and change their life. For anyone who reads tarot and wants to question the meanings they were taught, pick up Radical Tarot and read the cards through a new lens.
