We come to realize that we're all creatures made of earth and air, fire and water, all four elements bound together by the fifth element: spirit. \u003ci\u003eFifth Spirit Tarot\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond the gender binary, queering the archetypes with 78 beautifully illustrated and hand-lettered cards by queer and non-binary tarot reader, teacher, and writer Charlie Claire Burgess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork lovingly features folks of different races, body shapes, abilities, ages, and gender expressions. Instead of renaming the cards for gender-neutrality, Fifth Spirit seeks to challenge the gender binary and expand notions of gender through the juxtaposition of traditional title and queered imagery. In Tarot as in life, a nonbinary femme can be King, a cisgender man can be Queen, and everyone in between can defy or expand or ecstatically embody any or no gender that they wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Creator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharlie Claire Burgess is a queer and non-binary tarot reader, tarot teacher, deck creator, writer, artist, and witch.
