For readers of Postcolonial Astrology and Tarot for Change

Red Tarot speaks to anyone othered for their identity or ways of being or thinking-LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC folks in particular-presenting the tarot as a radical epistemology that shifts the authority of knowing into the hands of the people themselves.

Author Christopher Marmolejo frames literacy as key to liberation, and explores an understanding of tarot as critical literacy. They show how the cards can be read to subvert the dynamics of white supremacist-capitalist-imperialist-patriarchy, weaving historical context and spiritual practice into a comprehensive overview of tarot.

Situating tarot imagery within cosmologies outside the Hellenistic frame-Death as interpreted through the lens of Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta, the High Priestess through Aztec goddess Coyolxauhqui-Marmolejo's Red Tarot is a profound act of native reclamation and liberation. Each card's interpretation is further bolstered by the teachings of Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Jose Esteban Munoz, and others, in an offering that integrates intersectional wisdom with the author's divination practice-and reveals tarot as an essential language for liberation.
