Queering Tarot's Queens: Reclaiming Our Labor
“I suspect that many of these attempts to "modernize" tarot come out of empathy, warranted or not, for tarot's Queens.
The main assumption about gender in tarot is that it must be prescriptive rather than observational.”

Through free thought, by which I mean attention to detail, inquiry, and understanding, we can see that the work of tarot’s Swords isn’t good or bad.
Through free thought, we can see the role systems play in our limited ability to see the truth and accept reality. Our unwillingness or inability to think and scheme freely limits our capacity for action.
It all but ensures that we will act without thinking, and reap the consequences about which the Swords warn.
