Lindsay Mack, "Tarot for the Wild Soul"
Featured Book
Tarot for the Wild Soul
A practical and compassionate guide to navigating life's seasons through an inclusive, trauma-informed, and non-predictive approach to the Tarot. In Tarot for the Wild Soul, author Lindsay Mack teaches their signature Soul Tarot method, in which each of the cards is seen as a helpful ally and anchor for the present moment, rather than a forecast of the future. At the heart of Soul Tarot are three guiding principles: We honor each card as an invitation for exploration of the present, not necessarily as a sign of what will be or might happen in the future. We consider each card that we pull as helpful medicine for our continued growth, not a predictive statement about things to come. There are no "good" or "bad" cards in the Tarot. All of the cards bring medicine. Perfect for beginners and seasoned readers alike, this simple yet revolutionary approach honors Tarot as a powerful tool for self-inquiry, healing, growth, and returning to your inner wisdom. Alongside detailed guidance on each card in the deck, Tarot for the Wild Soul includes practices to center your intention before a reading and suggested spreads to help you begin. Whether you're navigating challenging times, seeking personal clarity, or looking for a deeper connection with the cards, this soul-nourishing guide offers insight, empathy, and empowerment.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.

In Conversation With
Courtney Alexander
Courtney Alexander is a multimedia artist, writer, and worldbuilder whose work expands narratives of Blackness, fatness, and queerness through visual storytelling. She is the creator of Dust II Onyx, the first widely distributed tarot deck by a Black artist—a mixed‑media project accompanied by a 200‑page guidebook that bridges the African diaspora, cosmology, and pop culture, now held in MIT Distinctive Collections. Her practice spans performance, film, sculpture, and installation, with each piece functioning as an altar, archive, and portal for storytelling. Her work appears in The Black Futures Anthology, TASCHEN’s The Library of Esoterica: Tarot, and other publications exploring divination and identity. Rooted in memory and myth, she invites us to reimagine freedom beyond the narratives we’ve been given.
