Podcast appearances and mentions of cassandra snow

The Hierophant represents my guest today on The Tarot Table. This card embodies structured wisdom, tradition, and spiritual guidance. Often portrayed as a religious leader or spiritual mentor, this card represents the transmission of knowledge, rituals, and belief systems across generations. It encourages learning from established sources, honoring cultural and spiritual traditions, and seeking mentorship. At the same time, the Hierophant invites us to reflect on those structures critically—to question outdated norms and uncover personal truths within collective frameworks. This card may point to institutions, spiritual leadership, or shared values in a reading. It often signifies a time to align with ethical principles, embrace higher learning, and seek connections to something greater than oneself. The Hierophant represents my guest today, Cassandra Snow. Who Is Cassandra Snow?Cassandra Snow is the visionary author of Queering the Tarot and Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margins. Alongside Siri Vincent Plouff, they co-wrote the deeply reflective Lessons from the Empress: A Tarot Workbook for Creative Growth and Self-Care. Their most recent project, Tarot in Other Words, is an influential anthology of essays on queer tarot perspectives, curated and edited by Snow and featuring contributions from nine other inspiring tarot practitioners. With nearly two decades of experience as a professional tarot reader and teacher, Cassandra brings a rich background as a disabled, queer witch, theatre artist, activist, and advocate to all of their writing and spiritual work.Connect with Cassandra Snow on her website: https://cassandra-snow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mx.cassandra.snow/Buy her books: https://cassandra-snow.com/buy-my-booksNext week, I will feature a guest represented by the Chariot.

Today I'm exploring Nordic Folklore, specifically the Draugr with Siri! We also chat about folk witchcraft and witchcraft through history. Siri Vincent Plouff is an author, Nordic witch, writer, and teacher. Their first book was co-authored with Cassandra Snow and it is called "Lessons from the Empress: a tarot workbook for self-care and creative growth." They are a professional rune and tarot reader, and are the host of the Heathen's Journey Podcast. Their podcast is dedicated to creating space to learn about heathenry from an antiracist, queer perspective. Siri also teaches a wide variety of classes frequently - classes about witchcraft, runes, and tarot. Siri's new book, queering the runes: https://bookshop.org/a/98195/9781578638376 Siri's website: https://www.sirivincentplouff.com/ Siri's IG: https://www.instagram.com/siri.vincent.plouff/# OTD website: https://www.openingthedoorpodcast.com/ OTD book recs: https://bookshop.org/shop/openingthedoor

Siri Vincent Plouff joins the podcast to talk about a favorite subject, runes. Their book, Queering the Runes, was just released in November 2024 and we talk about the book, dispel notions that runes are not for everyone (they are!), how they can relate from a queer perspective, and just about runes in general.  The book is an excellent way to introduce yourself to the runes with a fresh look at how they interact with people today.  Or if you are used to working with runes, have a look at them with a new lens and see how they might teach something new or different.   Siri has been a practicing with for nearly 20 years and reading tarot and runes professionally for six. They host The Heathen's Journey podcast, teaches workshops, and is coauthor of Lessons from the Empress with Cassandra Snow.  Order Queering the Runes at your favorite bookshop, directly from Red Wheel/Weiser, or online book seller.  You can find Siri on Instagram: @siri.vincent.plouff and Patreon: @sirivincentplouff # # # Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Follow my channel on Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Order The Christmast Oracle Deck created by me and artist Vinnora at https://feniksshop.etsy.com follow FB/IG: @thechristmasoracle Please leave feedback on Apple and other podcast providers.

Representation matters. Melissa, Hilary, and Jaymi talk about their queerness and how we can see beyond the gender to get to the core of their energy. Jaymi's mission is to remove the binary from the cards and give readers and sitters the power to create their own language for gender inside the cards. Hilary wants the bi-erasure to stop and to know that when we share our queerness with others it is with honor and privilege. And Melissa sees you. Really. Please do not out anyone who is queer, it is not safe to do so everywhere.

Happy Pride, Queers! As a way to honor and celebrate a month that should NEVER end, I'm dropping my first ever LIVE episode featuring the panel discussion "Expanding Sex, Sexuality & Gender in the Tarot" with Charlie Claire Burgess and Cassandra Snow, which took place this month at the 2021 Searcher's Solstice Tarot Conference. This recording begins with my opening remarks and then moves into a deeply vulnerable dialogue between the three of us on what it means to navigate this life as queer, non-binary people, and how we each live in constant interrogation and exploration of the Tarot and its ability to depict our lived experiences. Whoever and wherever you are, I hope you can receive this as a parting gift of sorts as we struggle to say goodbye to this beautiful month of Pride. @manofthecards manofthecards.com Support this show on Patreon

In this episode, we take a "snorkel" into the history and origins of everybody's favorite divination tool: TAROT! ... Okay, so it's not everyone's favorite tool, but it is beloved by many, including us. We also take a look at the most feared cards in the deck— yeah, the infamous Tower, Death, and... so many swords. Of course, we also talk about how to get started with using cards and we discuss the ways to safely integrate your practice into mental wellness. This week's episode was recorded on National Coming Out Day, by two queer witches, so we address tarot through an LGBTQ+ lens with help via Cassandra Snow's book Queering the Tarot.

In Cassandra's other life, she runs a queer theatre company called Gadfly Theatre Productions in Minneapolis.

Episode 133. Queering the Tarot with Cassandra Snow. Back in the day, tarot decks and books were centered around the white, cisgender, heteronormative perspective. That's changing. Now folks can find tarot books and decks that are truly inclusive. It's about time! Today, I am talking with Cassandra Snow, author of Queering the Tarot, about LGBTQQIP2SA+ representation in tarot. We're chatting about what it was like to read tarot when there were no cards or books that showed an LGBTQQIP2SA+ perspective and how modern decks and books are evolving to be more inclusive. Our conversation also included discussing interpretations for marginalized folk, gender, pronouns, advice for straight tarot readers who read for an LGBTQQIP2SA+ client, and more. Cassandra is a bright light blazing trails in tarot. You are going to learn a lot in this episode and I think her book belongs on every tarot reader's shelf!  

Cassandra Snow believes tarot is a powerful tool for insight that leads to healing that leads to liberation & empowerment. The post Coming Out Of The Tarot Closet With Cassandra Snow appeared first on Coming Out Tarot.

For this week's episode, I invited our resident Tarotscopes reader Brandon Alter to interview Cassandra Snow, author of new book, Queering The Tarot. When Cassandra's reps first reached out, I knew this was a subject I wanted to cover on The Numinous. The Judeo-Christian underpinnings of the tarot have lent the practice a hetero- and cis-normativity bias that's alienating for queer readers—something that's being addressed in more modern, evolved decks. Besides, as Cassandra writes in the intro to her book: "tarot, with its infinite capacity for reframing, reinterpretation, and retelling, is a perfect medium for sharing and exploring queer stories and experiences," and Brandon, gets deep into this subject with her in his interview. In this episode, Brandon and Cassandra also discuss ... -What it means to "queer" the tarot -Rewriting the heroes journey of the major arcana for queer and other marginalized communities -Looking at the suit of pentacles beyond the capitalist model of "wealth" -Meeting your chosen family in the tarot -Specific cards that can be powerfully interpreted through a queer lens -Using the tarot for self-love and sex- and body-positivity To discover more about Cassandra Snow and her work, visit cassandra-snow.com, get your copy of Queering The Tarot, and follow her on Instagram. You can also hear more from Brandon on his podcast, The Spiritual Gayz.
