Magic is an essential tool for healing and social change within our communities. Join Liberation Tarot organizer Elicia Epstein and essay contributor lawrence barriner ii for a conversation on this unique deck that seeks to serve as a tool for those inspired towards revolution in the face of the able-centered, capitalist, heterocis-normative, white-supremacist patriarchy.

In our time together on the call we will explore the tarot, some definitions of  liberation, and then have a live, individual and collective experience of using the Liberation Tarot deck. Elicia and lawrence will also share a few stories of how the deck has been moving through the world so far. 

Liberation Tarot is a collection of 79 tarot cards and accompanying guidebook, created over the course of four years by more than thirty artists and writers living in the US, Canada, France, Brazil, Palestine, and Mexico.
