To celebrate Pride Month, Lauren and Anna explore queer histories and modern practices of LGBTQ+ tarot and witchcraft. From the historical persecution of witches to the reclamation of witchcraft as a symbol of self-acceptance and personal freedom in contemporary queer communities. The episode highlights significant figures like Pamela Coleman Smith, an artist associated with the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck, whose work has been celebrated by feminist and queer tarot readers. They also discuss what Cassandra Snow calls ‘Queering your Craft’ looking at the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation in tarot, showcasing decks like Thea's Tarot and Queer Tarot, as well as spreads and spells for self-reflection and community celebration during Pride.
