She Is Sitting in the Night

A contemporary queer re-visioning of a beautiful feminist tarot deck from the 80s–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.

AUTHOR

Oliver Pickle

Oliver Pickle is a Montreal-based trans writer, publisher, and editor with a soft spot for the esoteric and supernatural. Long-committed to tarot for the skeptical and unconvinced, Oliver leans toward contemporary readings of tarot, often re-visioned through a feminist, queer, and trans lens. Oliver’s work has also appeared in The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard, make/shift magazine, and other publications.

AUTHOR

Rima Athar

Rima Athar is a lover and a fighter with roots in Pakistan and connections to feminist organizing for rights and justice all over the world. You will most likely catch her on an adventure, revelling in nature and beauty, swept up in thought, laughing under the moon, stretching on a mountaintop, making use of her hands, swimming in the ocean, and shape-shifting a lot.

Reviews

“She is Sitting in the Night is the tarot book I’ve always wanted to write. It’s a queer tarot guidebook and a celebration of an 80s feminist tarot deck rolled into one; a book of beautiful and radical tarot card meanings, and also an important document, a conversation across generations of feminism and LGBTQ politics.” –Beth Maiden, Autostraddle

“In many ways, Pickle is reflecting not only upon the histories of queer communities, but the practice and tradition of tarot itself.” –Jenna Danchuk, Spiral Nature
