From the creator:
“I wanted to create A Queerer Tarot because I always had a hard time relating to some of the Rider-Waite’s imagery – The Lovers especially; I just didn’t see myself in the cis, thin, straight bodies. I also knew I would never successfully pin down a universal experience, which is why the deck is “a queerer tarot” rather than “the queer tarot.” A Queerer Tarot reimagines the major arcana as symbolic of life’s journey, with new cards such as “The Closet” and more than one kind of Strength. The hierarchy of the minor arcana is also restructured, with Child, Student, Teacher, and Master instead of the traditional Page, Knight, Queen, and King, and I like to think that none of them is above the others – just in a different, but necessary, stage of being. I hope that newcomers to tarot will find my deck accessible, and more experienced readers will find insight in the reimagined cards.”
