This must-have anthology presents a collection of alternative approaches to reading the tarot for those looking to gain new and deeper insight, especially for marginalised folk who don't see themselves reflected in traditional presentations of the tarot.

Cassandra Snow's groundbreaking book Queering the Tarot helped change the shape of tarot discourse, allowing scores of new readers to reclaim this ancient practice in their own way. Tarot in Other Words opens doors for these brilliant tarotists, offering unique insights and concepts for tarot readers of all levels.

The anthology, presented in two partsβ€”Finding Ourselves in the Tarot and Finding the Tarot in Ourselvesβ€”comprises ten essays that shine a light on the tarot from multiple queer perspectives. Understanding queerness, and why it matters in tarot, can teach all of us not just about gender and sexuality but also about how and why we should liberate ourselves in the first place. These essays on queerness show us that who we are is right, beautiful, and sacred. Tarot in Other Words is a necessary and overdue addition to the tarot canon that allows a number of queer voices to come together to share their tarot views, helping fledgling and intermediate tarot readers discover their own voices in the process.
