Summary
Maria Minnis is an unapologetically Black and queer tarot reader of 20+ years who teaches people about blending their spirituality with magic, liberation work, and eroticism in their everyday lives. She believes that the end result of all magic should be to cultivate a more equitable and empathetic planet. Maria is the author of Tarot for the Hard Work: An Archetypal Journey to Confront Racism and Inspire Collective Healing and the host of the Kinky Tarot podcast.
On this episode, Maria discusses the sacredness of the Fool tarot card, holographic witchcraft, and the ways in which tarot can help us confront racism and cultivate liberation for all.
Pam also talks about reframing the magic of April Fool’s Day, and answers a listener question about cannabis and spirituality.
