Eight Useful Tarot Spreads


Media List

Influences, Inspirations & Recommendations
I don’t consider myself an activist or a scholar, but I like to listen to people who are. While these tarot spreads are my own work, and my opinions are my own, many of the notions they reference did not originate in my own mind. 

It would be impossible to give you a complete bibliography. For one thing, I haven’t kept track of the many influences that have helped shape my thinking over the years—they must include thousands of articles, stories, and beautiful people speaking truth in person and on social media. They all deserve credit I don’t have the memory to provide, but my love and gratitude go out to them. For another thing, I’ve only seen and read so much myself, and there’s so much more quality thought and information out there on these topics than I have on my radar. 

Instead, I’ll leave you with a list of some of the artists, scholars, thinkers, and card-slingers who’ve shaped my thoughts on social justice and/or tarot and metaphysics, and whose works I recommend to anyone who has enjoyed this collection of spreads. I've also included some works that might fall outside immediate social justice topics, but which prompt empathy, compassion, and thought. This list is not comprehensive in the slightest, but there’s some good stuff on here. If you haven’t yet, check these guys out, and check out who they’re reading and listening to. Many of them list bibliographies, recommendations, and resource lists in their books, blogs, podcasts, and other works.

Please note: I am not affiliated with any of these folks, and most of them don’t know I exist. My work and opinions may not align with everyone’s values on this list, and I do not speak for any of these people. Nor do all of their views reflect my own. It’s very likely that some of them do not approve of witchy/woo-woo/tarot/divination spectrum activities. If your name or work is on this list and you’d like me to take it down, drop me a line and I will, no hassle. 

I may add to this list over time. One of the benefits of releasing this book as a webpage is being able to make updates, revisions, and corrections as needed. If you have recommendations for additions to this resource list, let me know. I’ll check them out and add anything that’s a good fit.
