New Workshops:
Wouldst thou like to divine deliciously?
As maligned as the tarot itself, who is this stranger at the crossroads? And why, after hundreds of years, do decks depict him in such a Christianized way?
A scapegoat, an easy target, and something to blame, he knows what it is it is to be forced to the margins by the powerful.
He (and she and they) is us. All of us…
All of us before we learn shame, self-loathing, and fear.
The Dark Daddy, who is any and all genders, understands tarot without colonialism, heterosupremacy, and all the things that separate us from our magic…
A one-day workshop for those looking for a new view of tarot, and who would like to explore what it means to the world in ways unburdened by shame, join me at the (zoom) crossroads, where witches and others have for centuries re-discovered our power.
Part guided self-reflection, part divination class, this two-hour session is open to any open-minded diviner at any level of experience.
Note: the workshop acknowledges the existence of sex and kink, as well as other “taboo” topics—but in a safe, friendly, playful way.
There are two dates:
april 17 from 4-6 eastern
april 18 from 2-4 eastern
both are $95 but I accept pay what you can and scholarships.
dm me on instagram or email me at [email protected] for more.

Workshop Agreements
Before committing to a class with me, read the following. These are the “rules of the road” for the learner-centered space I work to create.
- We recognize the realities of history and modernity that leaves people oppressed, disenfranchised, and traumatized. While this may sound dramatic, my expectation is that, at a minimum, class participants accept that homophobia, transphobia, other queerphobias, white supremacy, racism, ableism, classism, ageism, misogyny, and other systematic dogmas are alive and well and hurting people as we speak. This is my first rule, because:
- Learning only happens when we feel safe, dammit! The workshop space should be an actively safe place for queer people, people of color, people of any age*, people of any body type and ability, people of any nationality or faith**, any gender expression, etc., can be comfortable to relax and experience the class. (*Except for the fact that my classes cover topics considered are 18+; **Unless that nationality or faith makes you actively harm others and you’re actively doing that now or plan to.)
- Nobody’s perfect. Any one of us might use the wrong pronoun, mispronounce a name, stumble on an accidentally awkward sentiment, use a word we don’t realize is no longer acceptable parlance, or say something dumb or weird that we didn’t quite mean as it sounded. We’ll all actively attempt to make the generous assumption with each other. (Unless a trend of not-very-thoughtful, easily avoidable behavior appears.) If someone corrects us, we thank them; if we notice we’ve said something incorrect, we fix it. We’re human. And many of us have lingering COVID brain.
- If you’re consistently being a dick, I will kick you out and I will not refund you. Sorry.
- No comparing ourselves! My workshops are designed assuming you have a foundational tarot practice, but are created to compliment the development of your foundation if that’s still in progress. Some of us will have been reading for 20+ years, some of us for 20+ minutes. That’s OK. Some of us charge money for readings (which, supposedly, makes us “professional”) and some of us don’t (which, supposedly, makes us “amateurs.”) In my workshops, the definition of a pro is someone who wants to learn, who is open, who gets excited by new ideas—even when they don’t agree with them. And the mark of an amateur is someone who is closed, refuses to learn, and doesn’t want to encounter anything that runs contrary to their assumptions.
- It’s your time! If you can’t make it, no worries. We’ll miss you, but life happens.
- Introverts: I won’t make you do anything that you don’t want to do. I will occasionally ask you if you want to add anything, and this is to give you the opportunity to chime in if you’ve been too shy so far—but you can feel free to decline. I think you’ll eventually warm up, though.
- Extraverts: You make my job so easy! Your enthusiasm lights us all up and gives the workshop a motor! Once in a while, though, you need to shut up and let others talk, OK? Just a reminder!
