The card reader crosses borders. Bodily and symbolic. They reach out and radically include what is fascinating and seductively abject. They know that rationality cannot simply ignore the uncanny. These card readers conspire and conjure the siren, the witch, vampires, the red mother. Tender is the flesh that collapses meaning. Male meaning that is. Always the first found to be shocking, horrific, terrifying and monstrous is the feminine.
Those card readers curious about Her monstrous manifestations and her provocative, defiant powers are invited into her arcana. In this four-part class uncover the various minor arcana that particular summon the monstrous feminine. We will inevitably draw upon the Major arcana to amplify the abject resonances that She transmits to the tarot.
This class invites you to swim with the siren, queer your sense of self and engage in musical self-questioning. Be with bird women and let your curiosity unravel with cards like the Eight of Swords.
Then come to know the Nine of Pentalces as an auspex. Isolated in the midst of a dense green, on an island off the coast, we will connect with the cult of Circe and learn how this Witch supreme humbles heroes.
Peer into gorgeous grotesquerie of the Vampires and fill your cups cards with a forbidden substance. She’ll search with you as hunt to satiate that primal hunger.
Lastly, if have you haven’t already let your hair come loose, Lilith will leave your locks ever so languid. Or was it Eve? With the swords and words that cast you out, we will become a body fantastic that foresees the future.
Taught by Christopher Marmolejo, the author of Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy. Christopher, MA, is a brown, queer, and trans writer, diviner, and educator. They use divination to promote a literacy of liberation. As a trained educator focused on cultivating classrooms of emancipatory possibility, they work with students around the world to plant and nurture the seed of a divinatory practice, finely weaving tarot, astrology, and curanderismo with decolonial, queer epistemologies and critical, feminist pedagogies.
