In Search of Tarot Ep. 15 - Anti-Racism + The Tarot with Maria Minnis
Maria Minnis is an ancestrally guided writer, designer, and tarot reader with Southern roots. Her motto is “a word is a spell,” and she uses it to guide her work in her completely donation-based offerings, such as her tarot poems and her blog series, Anti-Racism with the Tarot. Every week, she uses the Major Arcana as an analog to discuss various facets of anti-racism work. The series is a collection of exercises, readings, journaling prompts, and direct action activities to encourage people to create everyday change within themselves and their communities.
I was thrilled to welcome Maria to the podcast for a dialogue on the importance of utilizing Tarot for anti-racism work, and the challenge of navigating white-dominated spiritual spaces. Our discussion was filled with deep questions and tender vulnerability, all held under the spell of her remarkable grace.
