Join husband-and-husband creative team Bobby Barber and John Callaghan for readings based on their new book “The Modern Queer Tarot,” featuring illustrations by Tanya Wischerath. This innovative work reimagines the traditional 78-card tarot deck through a queer historical lens while preserving traditional divinatory meanings.
The large-format book showcases notable LGBTQ+ figures in the Major Arcana, including:
- Jean Genet
- Susan Sontag
- Walt Whitman
- Quentin Crisp
- The Stonewall Rioters
- Harvey Milk
- Jane Addams
- James Baldwin
The authors bring their expertise in Western esotericism and metaphysics to this unique interpretation of the tarot tradition.
