Description

She Is Sitting in the Night uses the illustrations in Thea’s Tarot as a springboard for these new interpretations, but this book can be used alongside any tarot deck.

A contemporary re-visioning of Thea’s Tarot, a beautiful feminist tarot deck from the 80s, and documenting a conversation across generations and mediums, She Is Sitting in the Night emerges as both a tool for tarot reading and a celebration of queer and feminist cultural production, past and present.

By embracing an older deck and simultaneously developing current and re-visioned ways of interpreting its images and the cards’ meanings, She Is Sitting in the Night provides a much-needed informed, aesthetically strong, accessible queer tarot book for feminists, queers, and tarot readers new and old.

Though I personally love She Is Sitting in the Night for it’s queerness, this book is for anyone who wants to shake up their tarot practice and take a more inclusive approach to their cards and readings. Its inclusivity is what makes it queer, but it is a book for all genders and all sexualities.

About the author

After an accidental debut as a professional tarot reader in 2009, Oliver began doing tarot readings regularly, at bars and in parks and on balconies. At the request of a good friend, Oliver began writing about the Thea’s Tarot deck – a process that was at once prolonged and fruitful.

Oliver is, more generally, a Montreal-based, trans-identified writer, publisher, and editor. Their work has appeared in Lambda Award–winning The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard (Topside Press, 2012) and make/shift magazine, among other publications. Oliver released Gays in the Workplace in 2011 and is currently working on a book of short stories.
