Introduction

The Slutist Tarot Mythology

Divination Instructions & Tarot Structure

Introduction My intention in creating The Slutist Tarot is to tell the Fool’s Journey through the archetype of The Maiden. The Maiden represents a young femme and she symbolizes the divine feminine: a spiritual aspect of ourselves that is not limited to feminine persons. In the classic tarot narrative, a querent is expected to identify with cis male archetypes — regardless of their own gender identity — and conversely, The Slutist Tarot asks its querent to see themselves reflected in The Maiden. This deck is meant to be both erotic and representational — not just for daringly promiscuous sex witches, but also for those who devote themselves to monogamous relationships or abstain from sex altogether. As an advocate for sex positivity it is of utmost importance to acknowledge that sexual liberation operating within intersectional feminism represents the power to make choices about your own body, and to practice whatever brand of consensual sex that you desire. The Slutist Tarot as a narrative and collection of portraits centers those on the feminine spectrum with a few precious masculine and male identified exceptions. I aspire to flip the script on historically androcentric and sex negative models of thinking. Additionally, I emphasize the labor of those in the sex industry over all other modes of employment and lifestyle rather than regarding those individuals as maudlin, fringe characters or societal failures used as foils to purity, as is typical of most stories. I aim to showcase a multiplicity of sexual expressions and identities rather than depicting a norm or a standard one. For my entire life I have been forced to identify with characters, social structures and narratives in which my lifestyle is neither included nor validated. To me, sex and femininity are not niche subjects — nor are the lived experiences of sex workers. Regardless of your own background, I ask you to move past stigma to find yourself in our story. That being said, I am happy to share these images and stories with those who are in the dark about alternative sex practices and sexual labor. I hope that these cards will inspire those who feel closeted or simply curious or tickled by transgression, and honor those who share a both bloodied and enchanted heritage with the Sacred Whore. Although many people’s images and spirits were inspirational in creating this deck, the cards and descriptions are not meant to be or represent any living person. The Slutist Tarot Mythology The narrative inherent in The Slutist Tarot is about sexuality specifically: how sex and sexual trauma can change you, your perception of yourself, and how you deal with humanity. I believe that on some level all individuals have their lives defined by sex, whether that be the act of sex (orientation and preference, having it and not having it, consensual or otherwise), or gender based sex . Ultimately for my heroine, sexuality is what hurts her and it’s also what empowers her (and makes her money!) For this reason, sexuality is The Maiden's gift and curse. The Maiden’s Journey is a departure from the classic Fool’s Journey, which my dear friend and tarot mentor Sarah Lorraine taught me when we were just becoming friends around the age of 24. She recited the lore like a fairytale and after that point I began associating that mythology and accompanying archetypes with several of my most influential childhood favorites: the tales of Camelot, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Labyrinth, and The Never Ending Story. Stripped down, the Fool's Journey is the blueprint for every myth that centers a young adventurer who is forced to grow and change through the experiences they have and the people they meet. These stories often end with our protagonist facing their greatest fearsand prevailing because those experiences and people have made them stronger and braver. In my inversion of the cis hero trope, I see Alice as a young girl who is "too curious. " She is forced to grow up

FAQs

What is the central theme of The Slutist Tarot?

The deck centers the Fool’s Journey through the archetype of The Maiden, using sexuality as the primary narrative lens—how sex and sexual trauma can alter identity, self-perception, and relationships with humanity.

How does The Slutist Tarot differ from traditional tarot structure?

It replaces page/knave with “princess” and knight with “prince,” similar to the Thoth deck. It also modifies some major arcana titles to align with new archetypes that move away from imperialistic and Christian heteropatriarchy.

Why does the guidebook say there are no reversed readings?

The guidebook states that both positive and negative aspects of a card can be understood through surrounding cards or through the card’s existing dualities, making reversed positions unnecessary.
