Now, this may be hard to believe but my vintage media collection tends to skew pretty heavily toward boys. So I have a smaller pool of images to pull from for girls but I do have a few “artist model books“ from the 50s and 60s which were meant to be for art reference only, As opposed to the traditional straight Lovers cards these two lovers are embracing each other and being watched lovingly by a fellow sapphic archangel. I didn’t include the apple tree or the snake or any of the Adam and Eve symbology instead I focused on lesbian and gay symbology. Pomegranates for womanhood, the Gilbert Baker rainbow, a lambda symbol, and many many violets.

i know i don’t necessarily need to explain myself but i feel compelled to say that i like tarot in the same way i like dream interpretation and flipping coins for answers— it’s not going to tell you anything you don’t already know, it’s just an excuse to examine the patterns and symbols your brain builds and is drawn to

what’s your fav lesbian tarot deck?

Thea’s Tarot!

Thea’s Tarot - Ruth West

Hello, I’m an Aquarius woman asking for help. Throughout my life I whispered to myself “I’m gay”. Just anywhere out of the blue I don’t realize until I say it. I’m now 35 and still have this problem. My first kiss was with a female but growing up in the 90’s it was still frowned upon. I’ve dated mainly bisexual men and women, it’s very different worlds and still confused. I decided to mediate and have a clear spot to ask my deck “Am I a lesbian?” The card I pulled was Queen of Swords upright. I know with questions and tarot it can be tricky but I honestly wanted to ask my higher self that question. I wasn’t sure how Queen of Swords was a definite yes or no. Also how it could be connected. I still need to explore more with women since due to friends and family I fell into the closet of anything queer. I asked for a clarification and pulled 9 of pentacles upright.

The Queen of Swords speaks to intellect, wisdom, and clear judgement. It can represent a need for communication and boundaries.

Your clarification card the Nine of Pentacles represents prosperity and stability.

My interpretation is to focus on being honest with yourself and your partner(s) about what you’re feeling and to build your internal sense of stability. It seems likely that you are bisexual and are at a point in life where you want to explore your feelings for women and work through the feelings that come from living in a homophobic society. Try not to ruminate too much on the big questions and instead focus on specific feelings and actions and that you are being true to your feelings in the moment. Best of luck in building up your sense of surety and contentment.

With artist Ruth West's permission, we've issued a reprint of the 1984 Thea's Tarot deck. Buy it on its own for $35 or with Oliver Pickle's guidebook for $50.

The new edition of Thea’s Tarot is out now! This listing is just for the deck, but you can purchase the deck and the book She is Sitting in the Night together. According to someone who has both, the cardstock is “almost plastic but matte” and the cards are bigger than the first edition.

I have one of the original printing from the artist and I love it. I’m considering buying the second edition deck by itself.
