Episode 12
Tarot, Vampires, and Queerness as Other
Charles Harrington joins me to discuss vampires as the personification of otherness and the liminality of queerness.
Host: Julian Crosson-Hill
Guest: Charles Harrington
I got an opportunity to chat with Charles Harrington, author of the upcoming Tarot of the Vampires from Llewellyn Worldwide. Being a tarot enthusiast, we talked about the cards a lot while also managing to cover many other topics.
Key Points:
- Vampires as the personification of otherness and repressed fears
- Why mainstreaming tarot as a psychological tool was a bad idea
- Why theater and drama contribute to a good tarot reading
- The liminality of receiving a tarot reading
- Tarot and queer portrayals in the cards
- Queer people, liminality, and otherness
