Update, Mon 15th June: We remain closed for the time being. We are still in the big messy middle of some reckoning and reflection work. We hope to reopen later this week, however we refuse rush through this particular stage of reflection. Also – a technical error meant some sales took place over the weekend just gone. This was a mistake that has now been rectified.
The Little Red Tarot Shop is closed this week in solidarity with the movement for Black lives.
I (Beth) will be using this time to reflect deeply on my role as the owner of this small, white-owned business, unpacking the white supremacy that lives and works in me, and creating a plan of action so that Little Red Tarot can be of better service in the fight for race justice.
We will re-open next week. Customers: You can still access your account and view your order status, and customer service is still running.
Instead of shopping…
