In Search of Tarot Decentering Human Narratives with Sophie Strand
Sophie Strand is a poet, historical-fiction writer, and essayist based in the Hudson Valley with a focus on the intersection of spirituality and ecology. Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is forthcoming from Inner Traditions. She has three chapbooks: Love Song to a Blue God (Oread Press), Those Other Flowers to Come (Dancing Girl Press), and The Approach (The Swan). Her writing has been published by The Dark Mountain Project, poetry.org, Unearthed, Braided Way Magazine, Creatrix Magazine, and Your Impossible Voice.
IN THIS CONVERSATION Sophie and I discuss a plethora of topics, including her definition of magic, the limits of language, queerness in nature, and why the term "Divine Feminine" has become too restrictive for her.
