In this episode of the Modern Witches Confluence podcast, host Casey Zabala speaks with Charlie Claire Burgess, a tarot creator and writer whose work redefines the traditional structures of divination. They discuss how tarot, often rooted in binary archetypes, can be queered to reflect fluidity, multiplicity, and personal truth. Charlie shares their journey as a nonbinary practitioner, the philosophy behind Radical Tarot, and how dismantling rigid narratives within tarot can empower deeper self-exploration and collective liberation.

Charlie Claire Burgess is a queer and trans-nonbinary author and illustrator working at the intersection of tarot, spirituality, and queerness. They are the author of Radical Tarot: Queer the Cards, Liberate Your Practice, and Create the Future and the creator of the Fifth Spirit Tarot and Gay Marseille Tarot decks. Charlie’s second book, Queer Devotion: Spirituality Beyond the Binary in Myth, Story, and Practice, is forthcoming from Hay House in May 2025. Charlie recently guest edited The Star issue of the annual print anthology of tarot-themed creative writing and art The Rebis, and Charlie’s short stories and non-fiction have appeared in The Lambda Literary Review, F(r)iction, Hunger Mountain, and elsewhere.
