Boudoir Tarot is an ongoing series of collective tarot readings that are translated into pieces of talismanic writing. With the intent of infusing a sensual materiality to the experience of receiving a tarot reading, I hope to demonstrate a slower and more contemplative mode of interaction with the cards.

After a decade-long relationship with the Tarot, I have become very familiar with the many beautiful and visceral ways that we can work with the cards. In 2019, I began experimenting with grounding my practice in prolonged, internal contemplation, and found that my readings gained intense detail, clarity, and potency after months of focused study and meditation. During this extended period of reflection, phenomenological scrying of everyday life becomes synthesized with the rich symbolism of the arcana. By then translating the reading into a fixed expression, I attempt to capture the ethereal discoveries that are unearthed within the cards as concentrated alchemical gems.

I believe that when we allow the tarot to illuminate our consciousness with its 78 rays of stained-glass light, the combining colors express the visual language of the unique and magical world within where wisdom always dwells. The name "Boudoir Tarot” is meant to evoke the intimate and uninhibitedly imaginative nature of communing with the tarot, and its way of ushering us into our own inner chambers.

VOL. 1 - LOVE AND WAR

The first edition of Boudoir Tarot: Love and War, is a meditation on the terrifying power of love. This reading evokes both the life affirming and destroying qualities of this phenomenon, while emphasizing the importance of love as a guiding force for those who seek knowledge of personal truth. This reading suggests that solace can be found in the patron saints of the left hand path, who teach us to skillfully indulge our passions in spite of those who seek to suppress them.
