Theme: Sex-positive, feminist reinterpretation of the Fool's Journey

Medium: pencil ink

The Slutist Tarot is a sex-positive tarot deck that reinterprets the Fool's Journey through the archetype of The Maiden, centering femmes, sexual deviants, and divine feminine energy. It aims to reclaim the word "slut" as a symbol of sexual agency and empowerment.

About This Deck

The Slutist Tarot is a 78-card deck that offers a radical, sex-positive reinterpretation of the classic tarot narrative, focusing on the journey of "The Maiden" as she navigates experiences driven by desire and ego. This deck challenges traditional, androcentric tarot models by centering femmes and those on the feminine spectrum, while also including masculine and male-identified exceptions. The narrative follows The Maiden's path from hedonism and self-discovery to confronting trauma and ultimately finding healing and self-love, culminating in a realization of interconnectedness.

The deck's core philosophy is a mystical celebration of sex positivity, acknowledging that "sexual liberation" encompasses the power to make choices about one's own sex life, whether monogamous, abstinent, or promiscuous. It aims to put a woman’s voice behind eroticism and create images that honor diverse sexualities. The creators explicitly depart from the misogyny, racism, and imperialism often found in classic tarot imagery, while playfully reclaiming court card titles like King, Queen, Prince, and Princess, which resonate within LGBTQIA+ and fetish communities.

Many of the illustrations are inspired by individuals from goth, fetish, BDSM, and DIY art communities, as well as witches and healers known to the creators. This personal connection imbues the deck with authentic representation and a sense of community. The project was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2017, raising $13,768 from 249 backers, demonstrating a strong demand for its unique, empowering vision.
