Radical Tarot: Queer the Cards, Liberate Your Practice, and Create the Future

Coming September 2023

Radical Tarot reclaims tarot as a tool that can help free us from oppressive paradigms and empower us to direct our own lives through radical reflection, self-discovery, and change.

 

With deep, knowledgeable, and lyrical looks at the cards, Burgess deconstructs the cards' historical meanings, offers queered and updated interpretations, and invites the reader to image what else could be possible for the cards, for themselves, and for the world.

 

Queer, expansive, intersectional, and creative, Radical Tarot is more than a guide to tarot -- it's a guide to your own personal revolution.

Originally crowdfunded and self-published in 2020, FST has been reborn in an updated mass-market edition, available now! With an upgraded box, expanded guidebook, and refreshed and redesigned cards, the new edition is here to help you create a better future.
