In Queering the Tarot, Cassandra Snow deconstructs the meanings of the 78 cards explaining the ways in which each card might be interpreted against the norm. Tarot has the power to serve a greater population, with the right keys to unlock the tarot's deeper meanings. Humanity is diverse-culturally, spiritually, sexually. But at what point do archetypes become stereotypes? At the root of card meanings are archetypes that we accept without questioning. But what if that window only opened up on a world that was white, European, and heterosexual? The interpretations of the tarot that have been passed down through tradition presuppose a commonality and normalcy among humanity. Tarot archetypes provide the reader with a window into present circumstances and future potential. Tarot is best used as a tool for self-discovery, healing, growth, empowerment, and liberation.
