Their book, The Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy, reveals tarot as a tool for liberation, weaving critical race theory, queer theory, and other emancipatory frameworks with mythologies that decenter white narratives, bringing in references ranging from Hinduism to the Aztec pantheon. Every serious devotee of tarot should have this book on their shelves.You can find Christopher on their excellent Substack platform: theredread.substack.comFind Christopher on Instagram: @the.red.readOr buy their book here: Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy**********************************Learn More About Your Host Amanda Yates GarciaTo join Amanda's MYSTERY CULT on Substack click here.To order Amanda's book, "Initiated: Memoir of a Witch" CLICK HERE.Amanda's InstagramTo book an appointment with Amanda go to www.oracleoflosangeles.com*********************************Original MUSIC by Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs********************************** CONTRIBUTORS:Amanda Yates Garcia (host) & Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs (producer, composer).
