RLR205: Busting the Binary: Reframing Gender in the Tarot

Root Lock Radio: A Tarot Podcast

In this episode, I will revisit the four elemental energies represented in the four suits of the tarot with a specific focus on the gender energy of each suit. I will describe how to differentiate between the two masculine suits and the two feminine suits by exploring the concepts of the human and spiritual realms. I will then examine where each archetypal court figure fits on the spectrum of gender identity and how to see past the limitations these archetypes put on being fully inclusive of all gender identities. To begin exploring decks that use different and more inclusive archetypes, see this article from Little Red Tarot: https://littleredtarot.com/beyond-kings-queens-renaming-tarot-court-cards/ Support RLR: www.patreon.com/rootlockradio www.rootlocktarot.com/learn-tarot Subscribe to the RLT mailing list: www.rootlocktarot.com/contact Music provided by: Shenandoah Davis www.shenandoahdavis.com Jeré www.soundcloud.com/jerejerejere I hope you find the links between tarot and psychotherapy concepts useful.
